I had been trying to get sober since February 2022 through AA alone, but I wasn't successful. I had the willingness, but without treatment, it just wasn't enough. The staff at FORC helped me build a solid foundation for recovery that I had been missing. They provided the education, support, and accountability that I needed to move forward. During treatment, I also struggled with dual-diagnosis disordered eating symptoms that, in the past, had led me back to using. The team at FORC helped me work through those challenges while maintaining my sobriety, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and support they gave me. Leaving the program clean and sober felt like such an accomplishment. One of the best parts of the program was finding my people. After about a year of being stubborn about returning to AA and NA, I found myself back at meetings with my friends from FORC and genuinely enjoying it. Before I knew it, I had a sponsor and was working the steps again. None of that was required, it just seemed to happen through osmosis somehow, which is actually pretty funny. Thank you, FORC, for everything you did for me. I wholeheartedly recommend this program. 10/10.

I had an extremely traumatizing experience at Fair Oaks "Recovery Center". On June 16th at 11:00pm,…read morean employee of Fair Oaks wrongfully discharged me from the facility. I was solely 72 hours sober and just got to the facility a few days prior. I was experiencing severe withdrawals still as expected while still under detox. The scariest part for me was I just had taken 100mg of Trazadone and Hydroxyzine, about ready to go to bed for the night when they told me to leave. The med- technician (not management) discharged me at 11:00pm at night, and put me on the street. I was still detoxing and experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, and it was unsafe as the facility is not located in the best part of town in Sacramento. I have contacted an attorney regarding this incident and they will be following up with the facility soon regarding what occurred. To make matters worse, when I left and got an Uber to the hospital, I realized the staff forgot to give me my wallet. I couldn't be admitted into the hospital without my ID, so I had to take an Uber all the way back to the facility to retrieve my wallet. Unfortunately, there are still some of key belongings that are still in their possession that they never returned to me. Most of the staff are under 21 years old and have 8 months of sobriety whom are extremely ill-experienced and unprofessional when it comes to any real, genuine care. Please take my horrifying experience in account when looking for a facility to heal from substance abuse! It was scary, and they put me in a very vulnerable position that was unsafe.

I'm reading complaints on food, house drama, costs, and people's feelings getting hurt. I was there for detox,recoverty and a new way of life. That's what I stayed focused on. Theres's drama everywhere, I choose to stay out of it. I'm old school and probably to old to get involved with it anyways. After detox I chose to shut my mouth and listen and learn. I went to all the classes, meetings and the gym. I enjoyed all the outside meetings and still enjoy meetings today Thankfully my insurance paid for it and I so took advantage. I've got love for Akua and all the staff. Thank you

Very, very concerned. I called this place for the first time…read moreon Sunday and left a lengthy message with all my information on it. It is now two days later and they did not even give me a call back or anything. When I called them right now, being the one that initiated the second call, the mail that answered had absolutely no reason why they didn't call me back. The only reason that he stated was because they don't work on Sundays. I let him know that in psychiatry, any reasonable person would think it's extremely important that they check their messages when they come in having somebody on call to do that for their patients. Supremely important is that they return phone calls. Any reasonable person in my opinion would believe that if you're dealing in psychiatry, actually somebody's life could be on the line and you don't even call them back for two days. Note that I'm not saying that that's in my case but they have no idea who I am and who the people are. They are calling for the first time. For me to witness them dropping the ball this seriously, I'll be calling somebody else that shows the importance needed to do this type of work and to take it seriously enough. I offered him more than one time to give me a good explanation on why they never called back and he was unable to do it and only apologized. In my opinion, others should realize that they did this.

When I decided to get on methadone it was with a fellow user and old timer to boot. Being new to…read moreSacramento I had no idea which clinics were good and which were subpar and because this would be my first go on methadone as a treatment tool to battle my heroin addiction, I wanted to give myself the best possible chance at making a real go of it. Kicking was never the problem- highly, highly and did I mention highly, UNPLEASANT but I can be disciplined when I need to be and whenever my addiction was starting to really mess with my life and I could only scrounge up enough money to keep me from getting sick, I would go cold turkey. Problem was 6-8 months down the line I'd inevitably run into someone and think 'oh I can just chip a little on occasions'. Therefore I needed to try something different and methadone seemed like the best bet. I started on methadone 7 years ago and have been clean off heroin 6 years now and I strongly believe that had to do with the level of care I received from CORE. The old timer who helped guide me had been to every clinic in Sacramento and said CORE was the best. It wasn't easy in the beginning because I was homeless and staying near the freeway at Auburn and Watt so it was difficult to get my butt down there. Once I found myself riding back and forth on the blue line from end to end until it was too late to get my daily dose. I had chosen to decrease my heroin while I increased my methadone- seemed to make sense and it did work but in the beginning I was still sometimes getting high off the heroin which is why I kept nodding out back and forth on the train. By the time I reached my current dose, I was mostly done with the drug but it's a wicked little worm. Eventually I moved to midtown to be closer to the clinic and then eventually got into housing and would take medical transportation, a free service for people on medi-cal and on Sundays I always rode with another old timer, but she was an og as well and all the sudden started giving me pieces of heroin for free...until it wasn't free no more. Classic tale, but the thing is you don't really get that punch from heroin when you're on methadone...sure you get a little buzz but not enough to make it worth paying for it, in my opinion. After that foray, I never did it again. I don't crave it either like I did when I kicked cold turkey. Can you get high off methadone? Yes. There are people who abuse the drug just like everything else but it never even occurred to me until I moved to a new spot recently and my roommate had developed quite the little habit of methadone. That's one big perk about CORE because of its location they don't allow people to mingle or hang out in front of the clinic which is where most of the drug dealing gets done at other clinics. Also my experience with the counselors has been stellar. I was with my first counselor up until like 6 months ago (she was offered a better position at another clinic) and she was my family for all those years, in fact the years I was on the street, she was my emergency contact! Sure CORE's not perfect- I've had issues here and there but I can honestly say that if I hadn't found CORE when I did, I'd most definitely be dead. With humility, thanks CORE for saving my life...or rather giving me a reason to save it myself.
