Caron is an excellent treatment center and I refer regularly to Caron among other top tiered rehabs. In fact, Im saving a little money each month so that when my kids are 27 Ill be able to send them here if they have a substance use disorder...Im only half joking. I would definitely send my kids here, and yes it is my worst fear that they would struggle with the same genetic predisposition towards addiction that I have had and also only half joking about having to save money in order to afford treatment at Caron. That said, in the right circumstance after all attempts at outpatient therapy have failed initially I would definitely consider inpatient at Caron. Inpatient treatment is only a a beginning for addiction recovery which is a life long illness and outpatient therapy should obviously follow inpatient and be tried first adequately in most situations before inpatient as most people need several attempts at addiction recovery. Caron is a traditional twelve step facilitation treatment center like about 85% of facilities in the United States so if youre not a fan of Alcoholics Anonymous then this is not the place for you. There are a number of excellent non 12-step facilitation oriented treatment centers like The Center for Motivation and Change so just ask an addiction psychologist to help you determine which treatment center is best for you. Caron has improved over the years in its open-mindedness to alternative treatment approaches and now offers more holistic approaches such as Mindfulness Based approaches and (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) CBT and DBT-like approaches since there are greater number of psychologists running the show (Im not sure whether any of them are in recovery themselves but that is worth asking) and a good indicator of Carons awareness and dedication to mental health and not just addiction counseling is that they actually have a psychiatrist as their medical director which is far better than just having a physician as medical director. The cost is definitely high and no one will argue about that so if your insurance really doesnt pay in network do be careful about checking the particulars about out of network and self pay costs which can be prohibitive. At one thousand dollars a day, passing the basket at AA and putting your one dollar bill in it once a day can be a pretty compelling alternative.

I was there for the month long treatment back in 2010. DO NOT GO HERE! They do not harbor a good recovery atmosphere. My addiction actually worsened here since everyone in the adult program ONLY talked about shooting up dope and how to do it. Ive never even considered a needle until I was talked about it here, in Caron. During the winter they lock you down in that boxed looking building and only escort you out of it to eat at the cafeteria. The fact that they separate the men and women in a military fashion doesnt help either. Also, I remember everyone used to fake pain and cry to the doctor to get more Suboxone. NOT A GOOD RECOVERY ATMOSPHERE. I got sober thankfully after a lot of growing up and hard work, but no thanks to this expensive excuse for a Rehab. IT IS A SCAM, Please reconsider, there are many alternatives to choose from that make addiction recovery easier and more effective.

As a psychologist in private practice that works a lot with teens, I am sometimes perforce placed in the position of recommending inpatient or residential treatment centers. Caron is always at the top of my list for teens who are experiencing substance abuse, as well as other struggles (e.g., depression or anxiety). Ive seen Carons successes first hand numerous times over the past several years, and I give them my 100% endorsement.

DO NOT SEND ADOLESCENTS HERE Do not send your children here. It is not actually a 28 days program. They will try and convince you to stay for 4 months and say that if you dont then your child will most likely die. All they want is your money and do a terrible job of "treating" your child. They do not care how your child feels or behaves and will simply do whatever it takes to get you to spend more money for them to build their medical center. TERRIBLE TREATMENT EXPERIENCE!!!

I love the people at Caron, They help my son discover himself again and gave us hope. Caron is not a magic pill, it gives you the tools to help you with your recovery and the tools to stay sober. It gives the family the information you need to support the person in recovery. I am grateful to Caron for giving us hope and the tools to create breakthroughs for all of us. Shout out to Allen, he was amazing!!!!

Caron saved my life and my career as a Registered Nurse! They "love you til you can love yourself." Theres a reason why the locals call it "MAGIC MOUNTAIN." Many famous people have passed to new life through Carons doors. One very famous rock band built the adolescent unit out of gratitude. Thank you Caron!

They claim they have a special program for seniors, yet they wont take the primary medical insurance for seniors, which is Medicare.
