This is an absolutely terrible place to try to recover from the disease of addiction. They have nothing to offer that can't be found in a 12-step program for free. The prices are outrageous. They masquerade as a non-profit when in reality some people are getting very rich. The residents are used as a source of free labor and it's given the name "service work". It is a violation of the traditions of the 12 step fellowship the program is based on for any outside organization to become affiliated with it, but that's exactly what Mcshin has done. They are profiting off of recovery that, in principle is supposed to be freely given away and shared. The whole system is predatory in nature, so it should also be no surprise that predatory sexual behavior is rampant, tolerated, and sometimes even encouraged. Don't line the pockets of the greedy, go to any local 12 step meeting and get the same thing for free.

It is all about the money with this group. They ask for $3,500.00 up front and this does not provide any specific treatment or help. They have you work for specific companies if you are unemployeed and have your pay check made out to them. They than hold 80% of your pay. If you are a woman watch out, members of their staff will try to hookup with you. If recovery is what you want do not go their.
