What recent reviews say

Mixed reviews reflect divided experiences. Some find the center caring and responsive; others struggle with poor phone access, lack of spouse communication in recovery programs, and steep fees. Limited evidence from 11 reviews suggests inconsistent service quality and communication breakdowns.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: most critical review is 9 months old (phone access); older mixed reviews suggest pattern over years rather than recent deterioration
