Livengrin 100% saved my life If it wasn't for this rehab i would have been still on the streets getting high. All of the staff techs here go out of their way to help all the patients. My counselor Eric was the best. He literally does everything in his power to make sure everything works out for you while you're here and even when you leave. its a phenomenal experience and i 10/10 recommend anyone who needs to seek treatment to give livengrin a chance you wont regret it at all.

Terrible for mental health. I was there for 2 1/2 weeks until they decided I needed a dual facility. I dont think my therapist knew what a door facility was you have to want to kill yourself or want to hurt someone else, which I did not want to do. If you have Eric as a counselor you should request someone else. He said he called the transfer to the hospital in and spoke to them but he clearly did not because they sent me to another hospital for a eval which I failed because I didnt want to kill myself or anybody else. He basically released me to the street in the middle of treatment.

When I was at Livengrin, the staff were so caring & the program that they have there is Awesome! The lectures that they have throughout the day were SO beneficial & I really absorbed all the information & took that with me when I left. I now have a solid AA program, an Awesome Sponsor & all the tools that I need to remain Sober & I give Livengrin SO much of that credit! If you or a loved one is looking for a great place to help you, Livengrin is the place to go.

I was in Livengrin in 2018 and it's lessons and values have stayed with me to this day. The staff and counselors are kind, patient and put the patients well being above all. They offer a new beginning to all who come there looking for hope and help. If you or a loved one are struggling, Livengrin is definitely a great way to start your new path to your new life! I just recently celebrated another year of continuous sobriety. It works if you work it!!!
