Pros

The clients. Coworkers are good too

Cons

This place used to have a different, significantly better reputation. Now, you will have better luck at other local places. The CEO is difficult to work with. Staff get no support, the “directors” there are swamped and have bad policy and structure. Avoid working here at all costs. The work culture breeds insecurity and fear of being reprimanded at all times. And what does that do to staff? Affect client care. Which is “addressed” by increased workload to decrease AMA in patients and charting variables to keep the company’s numbers looking good. It’s all a numbers game which is to be expected with a corporately owned treatment center. Benefits aren’t even amazing to make up for the poor work culture. Intrinsic work motivation can only get so far and it felt that that desire was exploited by the “higher ups” to take advantage of human services professionals.

Pros

The clinical department, recovery advocates, nurses, admissions department, trauma support team, maintenance, kitchen staff, and I'm sure I may be forgetting a few were the most incredible part of RDT. That place is nothing without each individual who was physically there day in and out. If it were not for the team of supportive, loving, and nurturing people, I wouldn't have lasted as long as I did.

Cons

When RDT sold off into Summitt I believe things changed dramatically and for the worst. All departments are over worked, under paid, under appreciated, and ran into the ground. Clinicians specifically were suffering immensely and all had horrific anxiety due to constant fight or flight responses. To allow clinicians to work a 9-12 hour shift and then be on call for 24 hours + go into work the next day as if they weren't up all night, should be illegal. You can't help people who aren't ready to be helped. Asking clinicians to get out of bed at 3am to "block" and ASA is absurd. And unethical, it's THEIR decision if they want to be in treatment. This was unfair to clients most importantly. The clinicians who were there had a passion to serve those who were suffering in this way. By the company not caring about the employees, the clinicians weren't able to show up in their full capacity because they were burnt out, exhausted, and couldn't even have time to take care of themselves, let alone people in crisis.
