nearly every "client" in their custody learnedly feeds the savior complex ridden, gas lighting staff what is required to "transition" from this enterprise to the next circle of mind numbing AA hell. happy trails.
Honestly I hated it at first, but the second you accept being there. It's fun, it's like camping with a bunch of your friends working as a team. The guides are great. If you ever meet Craig, Dave B or Dave O, those guys can really help you a lot. They helped me so much.
I will always be grateful for the level of care my son received at Four Circles. As a wilderness-based recovery program, it succeeded where other programs/treatment protocols had failed and helped my son find the strength and belief in himself to fully engage in his own life and recovery. Plus, since addiction is indeed a family disease, I certainly benefited from the comprehensive family support program and learned so much about healing myself and regaining control over my own life.
This place saved my life. I hated it while I was there, and said I would write a bad review when I got out, as you endure a lot physically and emotionally and it’s not what the website describes it as and the things you will experience. However 7 months later, I miss this place and the friends and experiences I’ve had. The staff and guides are awesome here and I can honestly say I miss it sometimes. Once in a lifetime experience. I can go on but I think that sums it up. Thank you for saving my life 4 circles!
About half of the staff was friendly, the other half you could tell hated their job or were on a 'power' trip. The food was decent, you HAVE to watch out for the counselors. They are VERY sneaky, my counselor/therapist Amanda C or M I believe I can't remember her last name was the worst person there. She made me believe she was actually looking out for my best interest when in reality she was actually going to use it against me in the end. I was there from beginning of October and was told by my counselor that if I busted my butt I could be out before Christmas and that's what I did. I busted my butt and went above and beyond and tried being a leader. My therapist told me if I went back out in the woods for a straight 2 weeks as soon as I got back I could go straight home to my family a week before Christmas, come to find out as soon as i got back, it was too good to be true which I should of known but she wouldn't let me go straight home and wouldn't release me literally until the day AFTER Christmas! To make matters worse AMANDA made me go to a halfway house for a month and a half before I finally went home and she tried suggesting I stay in Greenville for 6 months. I was completely disappointed and disgusted by her actions. The one positive is that I've been sober almost 10 months, since the first day I walked into 4 circles. You just have to be sick and tired of having that certain lifestyle. Anyways, if you decide to send someone there better hope they don't get Amanda as a therapist and hopefully they enjoy being outside bc that person gets a lot of that certainly. Hopfully this will help someone :)
