I was pleasantly surprised at Curawest’s down home feel. They are highly professional and at the same time have a smile and kind word for everyone. The staff of competent people doing their jobs in sometimes difficult situations impressed me. Though very much a Hospital setting as far as difficult and complex. The staff work to treat each patient with respect and dignity. Whenever a concern was present there was always a solution found to remedy it. The cleaning staff and food service personnel blew me away with their kindness. Always a smile. The staff work together to fill gaps when needed and all the therapists and instructors brought creative and informative classes daily. Would recommend to anyone who need to start their sober life start at Curawest.

Ive been to my fair share of treatment centers and this is one of the best by far between the medical staff, BHTs, and the therapist. This was my experience and I've managed to remain clean and sober since...I did the 10 day detox as MEDICAID DOES COVER THIS! I'm not saying I didn't cry my eyes out the first night and wanted to leave but I AM SO GLAD I STAYED!!!!! The nursing and medical staff ( shout out to Tia!) was amazing. The nursing staff was compassionate and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE. Kristen is a favorite of everyone there and mine! The BHTs man, THEY GOT ME THROUGH my day to day big or insignificant struggles. Majority of people that work in these departments of CuraWest are in recovery and understand the struggle. A special shout out to Nick P, Collin, Jaci, and Cas for making this experience not only bearable for me but enjoyable and I will never forget those I just listed.... the compassion they had for anyone that walks in that door is just really exceptional and I hope anyone reading this has the chance to meet them. My therapist Taylor (female) was exceptional. She always took the time thought not every therapist I meet with did. Taylor not took extra time for my needs but also helped me view in ways I wasn't capable of looking at them. Last but certainly not least shout out to Kila who is a BOSS woman that really makes sure ANYTHING you need to handle in your outside while in treatment GETS HANDLED so YOU can focus on YOU. To everyone I listed thank you and I will see you all in a years time when I am hoping to be in a position to help others as they helped me...

CuraWest is a wonderful place with a great staff, who are all dedicated to helping you achieve your full potential.The accommodations are great, rooms are either single or doubles with comfortable beds. The cooking staff does a great job preparing a variety of meals that are nutritious and taste great. The clinical staff is stocked with great therapists all of which lead a few groups a week, allowing you to get to know all of them. This is wonderful so that if your therapist is sick of out of office you feel comfortable reaching out to one of the other therapists if you need anything. The tech and nursing staffs are also great. They are always available 24/7 for any of your needs wether lifestyle or medical.CuraWest was critical in me getting sober and it was an extremely pleasant place to do it. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a residential treatment center for substance use disorder.Thank you CuraWest!

Obviously, as a luxury detox center, the accommodation is incredibly clean, and comfortable.Around the clock snacks, the food is more than decent, though not Michelin starred or anything.The most impressive part about this facility is the staff. Willing to go above and beyond, not just medically but also printing out obscure artworks for my own drawings. The BHT is incredible.Had a wonderful experience with the counseling team as well. Ryan & Taylor provided high frequency, informative council in a positive and holistic setting.Couldn’t recommend them enough.The one caveat here would be the continued care and residential placement wasn’t quite what I was looking for.At no fault to Kyla, who advocated wonderfully on my behalf, but if you have the chance I would strongly recommend coming in with a preemptive residential strategy, unless you’re going into Cura West residential.Overall the best detox facility I’ve been to this far.

Highly recommended. The best thing I’ve done for myself in years. The staff is welcoming and compassionate. Thank you for the opportunity to start living the life I was always meant too and for helping find myself again
This place is ABSOLUTELY, hands down the best experience I have ever had in journey through recovery. The staff members here treat you like a human being instead of many of the other detox places I have unfortunately gone through in my life. I recommend t his absolutely as the best place to either check yourself in if you want help or for a family member. I have hope now that I can continue to work my recovery and I have been places in the past where that's definitely not the case at many other detox centers. I had a private room with a queen sized bed multiple pillows, was able to snack and smoke cigarettes and vapes 24/7 and my room had 48 inch flat screen with HD channels. Medicaid paid for my stay here so don't let that be the case of stopping you if you can't find any other places to go. CALL HERE IMMEDIATELY!!

Great place for detox and setting up IPO or residency. Attentitive to your needs, safe, and well fed but most of all freedom to work on yourself at your pace. Never felt like I was being forced. It wasn't meeting after meeting after meeting; good breaks between. Didn't feel rushed or like i wasn't aloud to have some alone time in my room. They had a variety people that came to speak, a ton of Councelers and an amazing clinic and tech staff. I felt lucky I landed in this place.

My experience at curawest has been truly amazing. Once I reached out the staff was able to get me in quickly and the treatment was very impactful. I originally went for detox but decided a residential stay would be best for my situation. The rooms were very nice and had TVs & comfortable beds. The groups were fun and engaging. I made many friends here which I am very grateful for. Thank you Nick, Lindsey, and Derek for doing my intake! Lastly shout out to Josh and Natalia for the amazing meals! Thanks everyone at Curawest!!

I had a life-changing experience here with the staff and clients at CuraWest. Like most everyone suffering from addiction who has decided to make a change, I came into their facility in rough shape…I wouldn’t have been able to move through detox so quickly without their support and love. That continued, around-the-clock support and love over my detox period was what made me decide to stay and engage in their 30-day residential program. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff there; most of them are in recovery and went above and beyond to listen, engage and empathize with me. It TRULY made the difference in my willingness to be vulnerable and share openly with them during all of the groups, outings and sessions with my therapist there. CuraWest really did become such a safe-haven for me during my stay.When I walked out of the doors on my last day, I was armed with an incredible new set of tools, coping skills and a serene sense of knowing myself better than I previously ever had in my life.Thank you so much CuraWest :)

This place was amazing. I came in not knowing what to expect. But all the technicians, and therapists were we've understanding and helpful. A lot of them being recovering addicts or personally affected by addiction made them empathetic and compassionate. The tools they have given me make me feel like I can actually stay sober and continue in recovery. Props to all of them, and love to death

I was very impressed with the quality of care I received at CuraWest. Not only was the staff very helpful and knowledgeable; the food was great. I appreciated all the opportunities there were to go off site including gym, meetings and patient activities. If I ever have to return to a rehab facility, I would definitely go back to CuraWest.

I went to Curawest for medical detox from alcohol. While the detox process can be very painful, both mentally and physically, the entire staff made the process as comfortable as possible. The arrival process was very efficient and I was able to see the nursing staff extremely quickly. From the tech staff, to the nursing staff, to the therapist and admin staff, they were all outstanding. They were in constant communication ensuring that I was as comfortable as possible. The food was great and snacks were also available whenever needed. Even during the detox process, they allow you to attend their inpatient classes and AA meetings as well. If you or a loved one is struggling and needs help, I highly recommend Cruawest.

Our Addiction Treatment Levels Of Care

The multi-step approach we offer has been proven to produce the best outcomes and long term recovery. The first step begins with a safe and comfortable withdrawal in our medically monitored detox center. After detox, clients transition into residential care, where the focus is intensive therapeutic intervention and healing of the mind, body, and spirit. After residential care, our case managers assist clients in locating aftercare support. The ideal transition following residential treatment is a slow reintegration into life, while maintaining a solid safety net if things get difficult. We do understand that not all clients have the ability to complete extended treatment programs. We offer medical detox as a stand-alone treatment option, as well as shorter stays in residential treatment.
