Vantaggi
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.
Svantaggi
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.
