I 100% recommend attending Ember Lodge! The staff is super attentive. Bekah is very mindful of how…read morethe house is run. And it shows in the successful results I have seen in not only myself, but other alumni I have met along the way. When I first joined Ember I had a very difficult time living a stable and meaningful life as a result of my alcoholism/mental illness. Ember Lodge introduced me to a world of recovery, responsibility, accountability, and friendships with other women who are seeking the same thing. I actually met my best friend here! Even 5 years after graduating from Ember, she and I fly across the country to spend time together. I now have a very full and beautiful life of service, love, health, and sobriety. And I give a big reason for that to Ember Lodge, Bekah, and the staff as being a foundation to my life long recovery.

My doctor suggested Pisgah Manor, in Candler, for my 3 week in house rehab after a fall dislocated…read moremy shoulder and hurt my back. As they wheeled me through the door, in a wheelchair, I noticed that the facility was almost brand new.... I think. Everything was clean and shining. All the staff had wonderful smiles on their faces and I knew this was my happy home for the next 3 weeks. The food was excellent especially if you're a fan of southern cooking; however, if you're a northerner like me, they will accommodate you for each meal. But the southern flare was so good, I went in a northerner and left 3 weeks later a southerner. Anyway, I had physical therapy 5 hours a week (M-F) and occupational therapy 5 hours a week (M-F). My PT and my OT people were fantastic. They worked with me to give me the maximum benefit in my rehabilitation. I felt myself getting stronger everyday. The nursing staff worked very hard to bring me the maximum comfort, provide my meds in a timely fashion, and yet those hard working nurses always had a smile for me all the time. My doctors recommendation of this facility was, without a doubt, the right place for me. I came in a wheelchair and 3 weeks later I danced out the door.

My treatment consisted of being bussed 20 minutes to a building w/ a few rooms that we rotated throughout the 8+ hours a day we were there. These all day "meetings" were never instructed by licensed staff and almost all of them were ex-addicts (overall very nice) making $17.50/hr. working psychologist I was supposed to meet w/ daily, I only saw privately 3x's. I was there to safely come off benzo's prescribed by a physician, and although I never abused them, Crestview had their hooks on me because I have great insurance. After my 30 days was up I was told by the psychologist (who saw me briefly 3x over 4 weeks) told me I wasn't ready to leave and I had to stay an additional 30 days. When I had called initially to check myself in I was very clear that I was signing up for the 30 day program AND NOT the 60 days the man on the phone said sure. On day 28 I was told that I was "digressing" which was a lie because I felt better than good. After I explained that I signed up for 30 days and not 60, she told me "it's 30 or 60 if days depending on the Dr.'s discretion". was told that I was free to leave but they would not bring me back to my apartment because they said I was leaving against their orders. My family is from Connecticut and I was alone in Asheville 3 hours away from my apartment without any way to reach my family. My phone, wallet and all other necessary personal items were locked up in their office. I was told I'd have to wait 72 hours before I got my phone and wallet. It was February in the Blue Ridge Mountains and I had a flight leaving Charlotte the next morning to see my dying grandmother, but no one cared. I had to walk over a mile to use a man's phone at a bus stop to have my mother call the police to come see what was happening...thankfully my mother believed what I was telling her and not only called the police but got in touch with Senator Julie Mayfield. My things were finally given back and I had to pay $352.00 for an uber to take me almost 3 hours to Douglas airport in Charlotte to fly home. It's tragic how many people I saw being held there...every couple of days someone came back in the room in tears because they were told they could not leave...family members and loved ones were also deceived to gain support for keeping their loved ones there longer because Crestview knows most patients all have habits of lying and manipulating so they use that to their advantage. Crestview and its management have perfected the art of isolating patients and billing CRAZY $$$ to your insurance. ***Senator Mayfield already had an investigation into Crestview*** I'm proud to say that I've maintained my sobriety. I'm happy and healthy and have a lot of people who helped along the way, but Crestview is most certainly NOT on that list. I RECEIVED NO REAL TREATMENT AT THIS FACILITY!!!! Giving it 1 Star feels entirely too generous
