My recent experience with safe landing was extremely disappointing on almost every level. Upon arrival at safe Landing, I was in very early recovery and had just graduated from an amazingly healing and supportive McLean Hospital 30 day program. I arrived deeply enthusiastic about and engaged in my recovery and was quite hopeful about my progress and the future in spite of the many challenges and obstacles that lay ahead for me. My positive attitude and general outlook began to deteriorate very soon after settling in to my new reality at safe landing. I never would have agreed to choose safe landing as my next step had I known that the services that had been promised and advertised were simply either nonexistent or not in place yet. Regardless, these offered services would’ve been severely compromised by the combination of the physical facility and its ability to offer what was promised and the management and staff’s inability, misguidedness and lack of expertise to serve and treat women such as myself who struggle with the co-occurance of substance use disorder and often trauma related psychiatric disorders such as PTSD, Depression, anxiety… I found it completely unacceptable that this facility has the nerve to charge $2500 a week per client when even the most basic amenities such as housekeeping and basic meal preparation are nonexistent never mind the severe lack there was of therapeutic engagement facilitated by A qualified specialist. I regret the time and money spent at safe landing as It did not inspire me or enhance my recovery. Shame on safe landing for exploiting and profiting from the unfortunate and devastating confluence of substance use disorder and very often trauma related psychiatric disorders that so many women struggle with. There is a desperate need for empowering, supportive and affordable after care for women in recovery, but safe landing is sadly failing to fulfill this need.
