Hudson Health Services Poplar Hill Avenue Residential 3 1

Deceptive.

Just got put out for bullying 😪 just because I wouldn't call a female a man. I got food spit on me by three different people and they are still there I would give them a 0 but can't I've been bullied and harassed and threatened told the tecs and said to keep my mouth and dont worry about it worry about yourself I was humiliated by a counselor in group laughed at humiliated by tecs and I thought this was a safe place but it's not at all I did not feel safe all they do is pick and chose who they protect came in 12/0525 was getting my certificate 1/05/25 but put me out 12/30/25 I'm sooooo going through the moment Dr. B is an awesome mental health doctor 👏 ❤️ Kamlesh is awesome 👌 👏

This place was not meant for people with severe mental illness. Patient was over medicated and fell the first night going to the bathroom. They sent him to the ER for a fracture with no support person. Then refused to take him back. Rules are rules you know! 💁‍♀️

I liked Hudson when I was there it helped me they cared about me and they were genuine Marvin was definitely one of the best there he really cares and Michelle was very helpful she don’t run it no more also Mrs Pat she is no longer there and Jermaine he was helpful and was there I definitely have a lot of respect for Marvin this place is what you make it i was there 3yrs ago but it was a game changer for me

I was at hudson but one thing I can say is Ranada p is the best counselor in the world!!!

I spent two weeks at Hudson for alcoholism before deciding to leave against medical advice to find a better managed facility more structured to address my mental health (the cause of my drinking). For the most part, the staff was amazing, from the kitchen to the counselors and the amazing Dr. B. Unfortunately, they do not monitor what goes on in the house very well, especially after working hours (2nd shift techs are early 20’s college students and not very well respected by clients sadly) so if you receive harassment, unless they see it, they must remain “objective”. My first week was great, but by my second week a few of the other female clients were doing everything they could to get me to leave or kicked out.. It became counterproductive to my recovery. I was screamed at (no exaggeration lol) called names and threatened on more than one occasion by a client for reasons I still don’t know. The daytime, female tech Candy (who is BEYOND wonderful!!!) is the only person with any control over these women. When she’s not there, they run wild. I took all of the proper steps and precautions to avoid the trouble but was repeatedly told to ignore it and not respond. My patience eventually wore out and I chose to leave to avoid a potential physical altercation As I realized the “powers that be” were not going to do so. I requested a transfer and was told they did not do that there. After making my own arrangements to leave suddenly they COULD transfer me to another facility, but I would have to wait two days. At that point, my mind was already made up and I left that morning. When I spoke with my counselor the evening prior he attempted to ease my mind by saying “everyone has been dealt with” but that clearly did not discourage them. He then attempted to gaslight me by claiming other staff had complained about me. I knew exactly who he was speaking of which is Daphne. Daphne‘s a counselor that I watched multiple times bait clients into arguments and even bully one in particular in my opinion. I worked with her previously at Cove Recovery and while I am not one to look for racism I felt like she was biased against me due to my color being different than hers. While I don’t think she’s a bad person I do not think she is a good counselor, especially when people are in such sensitive states coming off of substances. I knew immediately he was referring to an instance earlier that day in which Daphne yelled at the class to sit down and when everyone started getting up, I asked if we were allowed to get up. She basically yelled and said that I was being disrespectful and smart mouth when in reality, I was just trying to make sure we were doing what we were supposed to do. The moral of the story is to make sure you thoroughly research the facility you choose to go to because not all are the best for your recovery, some seem like they just want to keep the beds full Edit to add: also, their website says 30 day to 60 day program but if your insurance will pay for 60 days, they will keep you there for 60 days. Once you get there, it is very hard to get out. Second edit to add: they do not have a detox protocol or unit, people experiencing withdrawal symptoms are thrown right into general population. On my last night there I had two new clients put in my room who proceeded to throw up in the trash cans, down the side of a dresser, toilets, and sinks all night without cleaning up after themselves or having a nurse come in to check on them. That was my final straw Last edit I swear lol: by the end of my first week, I had developed a heat rash. I repeatedly asked to see the doctor right up until the day I left and aside from a nurse sending him a few pictures, I never did. It progressively got worse and was covering my chest, arms, legs and stomach by the time I left. Thankfully, I was able to get treatment after leaving and it is now resolving.

The staff for the most part were very helpful.I explained that I wanted to go to a sober living house where I could go to work.i was told that because of the waiting list I couldn't stay long enough to get into a place in Salisbury.they said the Acquila house would accept me.I specifically asked how long before I could go to work.they said 30 days.I get to Acquila and it's a 90 day program....they knew what they were doing...smfh

Hudson gave me the tools I need to use in my everyday life to keep staying clean. Great facility.
