Nov 17, 2018 Report
I came here to get a substance abuse evaluation from Athena something.and I have been sober going on 8 years and have dealt with my sobriety my way cold turkey.well I paid $400 and met her and talked on the phone with her she didn't like my attitude and gave me a guarded review which screwed me for a whole year .mind you the state put me through the wringer as is but now they are using her judgement against me .also it was up to my discretion to send her review or not so she went and sent a copy herself
Unprofessional to say the least
