Their methadone is pretty weak but they don't bust balls about going to too many groups.

I was going to wait until I left Aldie to share my review but after finally just being pushed enough times I have broken down. Where to start?! I have been on methadone for 6 years. And this methadone clinic has been the hardest clinic for me to be a patient at. I have been in tears and on the verge of a mental break down more times than I can count because of this place. I have sent multiple emails to the Executive state director with my concerns and not even one reply. Here is a list of my major concerns: 1. Insurnace problems Aldie takes a very strict Insurnace acceptance approach. They do not take a lot of Insurnace carriers and are quick to try and push clients to "self-pay" ultimately leaving very exposed people who are trying to get their life together and already most don't have much, to navigate getting reimbursed from their Insurnace by themselves, but here is the kicker. Most reputable Insurnace providers require very detailed documentation to get reimbursed and Aldie was unwilling and very difficult to provide said documentation to me they dragged their feet and it took over a year to get reimbursement and then Ultimately back pedaled and attempted to switch all prior "self-pay" payments to Insurnace billed. In my case they almost had my total reimbursement check sent to themselves and were trying to apply any of that "self-pay" reimbursement money as a credit for future services but they had decided to take my Insurnace at that point after making me "self-pay" for a year. In my opinion they most assuredly are committing some form of Insurnace fraud. 2. Improper urine analysis resulting in loss of privileges and some people have even lost their kids and jobs! Aldie called my sons mother and told her she was pregnant after mixing up her test with another client with the same first names test. That other client lost their job/kid because of it. 3. They know their clients are low income and poverty stricken and they use/abuse and take advantage of a lot of clients because of this. I have personally witnessed their longest employed nurse verbally berate a client when he made a mistake, well guess what I know that client personally and literally a week later he was dead. I'm not saying it was her fault but the way she talks and treats people is not okay and I am sure they will if they have not already have a law suit because of her once she treats the wrong person the wrong way. 4.They try and blame clients for mistakes that they make however most mistakes are a result of a lack of communication in my opinion. This is just evil, as most clients are just trying to get their lives together and when they do nothing wrong but are blamed as if they did, then it does a lot to their self confidence, drive and mental aptitude. My sons mother is disabled and they have tried to say that she is selling her medication to make money. Not only is this extremely disrespectful but she has trouble seeing, thinking, walking talking and shakes really bad, she needs all her medications, even with all her medication she still is very bad some days. I literally witness her take her medication on a daily basis so I know that she is not selling or not not taking her medication. Her body's metabolism expels the medication very quickly and so the only way to see if it is in her system is by sending her Urine analysis to the lab. Aldie has done a lot of great things and has helped be tremendously, I am making leaps and bounds despite all my problems with this place but I literally live life on the edge of a metal breakdown with worrying about what will happen next with this place. Honestly I have been on the verge of submitting this review, BBB reports, Medicare/Medicade fraud claims, and flat out wanting to Sue Aldie the only thing that has stopped me is the fear of discrimination and Aldie lashing out and attempted to screw up my life or like Detox me from 220mg in three days or somethings. The fact that they literally have the power to erase all the progress I have made the last six years I've been on methadone literally gives me actual nightmares and panic attacks. read more
