I have mixed emotions about this company. The work I did there as a recovery coach was amazing, I was able to help clients with all of their needs and the clients showed appreciation for the staff. The facility supervisor does an amazing job. However, room for advancement is very low. Favoritism is held for certain people which I'm sure happens in a lot of small companies. The new ceo is young, like really young and is changing everything causing a stir within the company in all departments. You have to take the good with the bad. I'm not going to lie and say the job was awful, it wasn't awful. It's a fairly good company to work for.

 Management ignores you until they eventually lie to you or on you. Disrespectful and takes no accountability for any of their actions or lack of. Communication is HORRIBLE.  Nobody is happy. NO STAFF. NO JOB SECURITY, you are FIRED for being a grown person with a life which mean you may get sick or kids get sick, or people die. Nothing matters to this company other than you get stuck here and they work from home giving out demands.  If you enjoy the true meaning of helping people in this field of work, this is not the place to work. You will be discouraged. Too many CHIEFS. 

All I can say is “Google Upper Management” and you will find out everything you need to know. I experienced nothing but chaos at this place is
mismanaged,
unprofessional
Just don’t apply.. it’s not worth it, please
I had to take this job off my resume because i don’t want anyone to know that i worked here
I felt stressed coming into work every day and expecting the worse to happen
A typical day at work was stressful
I didn’t learn any thing
The hardest part of the job was coming in to work
The hardest part of the job is everything else
Workplace culture could be a lot better if there was better employees and much better Management

The leadership is corrupt and there is no accountability. There is no protection afforded to subordinates. You will be expected to never use your PTO; in fact, you will be forbidden. Your job will frequently be threatened if you're a parent or have complex health needs. You will be expected to make it to work during ice storms and tornadoes. You'll work under the supervision of someone who will talk about you behind your back, will gaslight you and the clients, and will manipulate at every chance. If you speak out, you will not be believed. 

There are some great people here.  Unfortunately, there’s a lot of nepotism and favoritism.   A lot.   One day you’re okay as a favorite- the next day they treat you as if you’re of no use to them.  I have learned a lot here.  Unfortunately, none of it too good.  I thought I’d be genuinely making a difference.   Not here.  Not now. 

There is no way to enforce any rules for clients, the leadership is terrible and does not handle any conflicts effectively. There are 2 employees that gossip, start drama, lie and manipulate all of management. They make all of the new people do all of the work while they sit in an office and gossip all day. It is a terrible work environment. 

This place is an absolute joke. The upper management tries to keep clients there to collect money. They don’t care about their employees or clients. The people who run these places are highly unethical and don’t worry about, or do, anything because they are there on nepotism alone. DO NOT WORK HERE

This place was absolutely awful! The management absolutely had no clue what they were doing, they believed the clients word over their staff because the insurance paid them for the client 
To be there. I made a few good friends but if you didn’t brown nose the bosses you were screwed over. They expected you to work at least 60 hours a week but treated you like dirt.

This facility closed without any notice.  Staff were laid off with no care for the employees that worked so hard for the patients.  Discovery Point Review is a management disaster.  No benefits.  
The hardest part about leaving was not being able to say goodbye to the staff that worked so hard as a team.  
Do not work at any other Discovery Point Retreat or Niznik Addiction Treatment programs.

If you have a hidden disability I definitely would not recommend working here The sheer lack of understanding is disheartening. If you are a caretaker or parent I would recommend it even less. There is little to no inclusivity and absolutely zero understanding when it comes to caring for another person.
