Regard Recovery

I am thrilled to share my experience working at Regard Recovery, where I have found an incredible sense of fulfillment and joy in my role. As an employee, I have been genuinely impressed by the organization's commitment to providing exceptional care and support to individuals on their journey to recovery.

From the moment I joined the team at Regard Recovery, I was welcomed with open arms and felt a strong sense of belonging. The company's dedication to creating a positive and supportive work environment is truly exceptional. The leadership team fosters a culture of collaboration, respect, and professional growth, making it a pleasure to come to work each day.

What sets Regard Recovery apart is the genuine passion and care exhibited by every member of the team. The compassion and empathy they demonstrate toward both clients and fellow colleagues are truly inspiring. The level of professionalism and expertise within the organization is second to none, and it is evident that the well-being of the clients is always at the forefront of everything we do.

One aspect that particularly stands out at Regard Recovery is the emphasis on ongoing professional development. The company provides ample opportunities for employees to enhance their skills and knowledge through training programs, workshops, and continuous education. This investment in personal and professional growth creates a dynamic and progressive work environment where innovation and excellence thrive.

The positive impact we have on our clients' lives is immeasurable, and witnessing their transformation and progress is incredibly rewarding. Regard Recovery offers a comprehensive range of services and a tailored approach to each individual's needs, ensuring that we provide the highest standard of care.

Moreover, the sense of camaraderie and teamwork at Regard Recovery is exceptional. Collaborating with dedicated professionals who share a common goal of helping others has been a source of inspiration and motivation. The mutual support and encouragement we offer one another create a work environment that feels like a close-knit family.

In summary, my experience working at Regard Recovery has been nothing short of extraordinary. The commitment to excellence, the supportive culture, and the opportunity to positively impact the lives of our clients make it a remarkable place to work. I am grateful to be a part of such a compassionate and dedicated team, and I look forward to continuing to grow both personally and professionally with Regard Recovery.

This facility was a great place to seek care for anyone struggling with substance use disorder; however, since investment bankers have come in and bought it out patient care has plummeted severely. Management and leadership are very out of touch with their direct care staff, communication between departments is poor, compassion fatigue and burnout are INSANELY high, turn over rate has skyrocketed; the list could go on. Various therapies (like EMDR ) this company advertises actually are not offered most of the time due to staff shortages. Leadership takes things personally and can be difficult to seek support from as the overall work environment is tense, toxic, and stressful. The facility is located in the most beautiful scene in Cummington, MA and that is probably one of the only positives.  I advise you to seek other avenues to getting yourself or a loved one help, or if you are seeking work in the substance use disorder field; as this facility does not keep the well-being of patients/direct staff at the forefront.

Working at Perspectives prior to Regard Recovery buying it out was amazing; it was a team of dedicated people and the work was meaningful. After being bought out by Regard Recovery, everything I loved about the place was killed within a year. Massive staff turnover, (to the point I had a running list on my phone to keep track of people leaving); no solid  (or licensed, the clinical director has a bachelors degree and a condescending attitude) clinical leadership, and focused on profits above all else. The sober living program turned into a turn and burn bed system. I left when it became apparent that the decisions made by leadership made someone getting hurt or dying an inevitable outcome.  Terrible, stressful, soul crushing place to work. 

I worked overnights and we didn’t ever have enough staff. There was no staff to do much  for the patients and they always got upset with us when we couldn’t help them. We were always so tired so we took naps between the required checks on the patients. Most of the time you were too tired to drive home too. The business depends on repeat patients. No one appreciated overnight staff especially day shift and there wasn’t even a shift differential. Overnight shift was bad all around and sometimes it felt unsafe. I wouldn’t work there again even if they paid more and it wasn’t so far away. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with the clients. Watching them come back to life. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Seeing people hurting and giving up on themselves and leaving before completing 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Professional yet family oriented. Could use some more structure. Need to expand definitely needs more space.  Need to offer better pay to retain employees. Turn overs are frequent. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
For the most part my days are rewarding

Great food available for staff, private offices for therapists, with your own private bathroom, workplace culture is positive/kind/motivated, the hardest part of the job is that the location is pretty remote. I love working at the bluffs. 

I have been a therapist at Perspectives since December, 2020. Regard took over in February, 2021. They gradually made changes necessary to comply with accrediting agencies. I became clinical director in June, 2021. Since then we have made many changes favorable to our clients. I am an MCAP,  along with all of our other therapists. We have an awesome team to assist in your recovery journey. Our upper management supports our staff and our clients.

Management NON existent.  They have no regard to patients. Only after the next dollar. Put patients and staff at risk. Will let patients treat staff however they please just to keep them there. Benefits are terrible and so expensive. No teamwork at all and morale is horrible. Communication is non existent and blame always falls wherever the so called management wants it to. I don’t see how the doors are still opened on this circus. Incredibly high turnover. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Seeing the look on the executive director’s face when I handed her my badge when I left. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to do the work of all the people they fired. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Negative, stressful, and very low morale. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sad and depressing. It felt like a constant struggle.

Staff really cares about the patients. People find healing at JPBG despite tight pursestrings at corporate. Clinical staff is highly skilled and good at what they do. The therapists are overworked and underpaid. A boss who is flexible and supportive makes you feel valued.
