  It's been some time since I went here, but I have been to one other facility. This place has caring staff, good food, great scenery and activities. The last one I was in had no windows, one TV for 12 people, and we got to do activities 3 times a week(basketball inside or coloring books). I only saw the outside through ONE window the entire time, and I rarely got to look out of that window. Saint Simons has outdoor activities....FRESH AIR! Saint Simons may not be a 5 star resort, but I've been to a facility such as this in Savannah twice. It's night and day. Comparing the two, Saint Simons was a vacation.

  St. Simons-By-The-Sea was a great experience. I was scared at first because of all the negative reviews. I checked in and the staff was amazing. The food could be better but it was okay which is why I am giving 4 stars. They helped me detox from alcohol and gave me plenty of good resources to continue my journey to sobriety when I left the place. I would recommend this facility if your seeking help. I learned a lot and I don't have the desire to drink anymore. I couldn't do it without their help. My mind is clear and I feel better than ever.

  I was completely deceived by the staff members that I spoke with on the phone on about 6 occasions before arriving at the facility. They claimed that it was a nice place where I could get some rest and recovery and that there would be free time to go outside to play tennis and walk the grounds and just overall take a break from the monotony of my daily stressful life that had brought me down into a less than pleasant state of mind. They also made it sound like a resort type place that had Dr.'s, nurses, and therapists that would be available to speak with on a regular basis. The Dr.'s and therapists typically were busy and only were there during the day which left little time to speak with them about my problems because they were pretty busy most of the time. That aside, and most importantly, I was told that if at any time I wasn't comfortable being there I could leave anytime I chose to. Well, very soon after being interviewed and accepted by the admissions department (who obviously don't know much about what happens in the "back of the house" or "hospital area") I was asked to be searched, in which I completely complied until the gentleman performing the search wanted to see me with my underwear (very tight trunks) off to check for hidden drugs or whatever else I might be trying to sneak in after I had already performed a partial reveal of my back side and front pouch portion which I felt was a complete invasion of my human rights and privacy. That's what got us off to a bad start. After I refused to get completely nude I was basically told that if I didn't strip down I wouldn't be allowed to stay at which point I agreed to do so without any resistance. Then after about an hour of them trying to convince me to do so, so that I could stay, they changed their minds and had me fill out all of the necessary paperwork work. They went through my belongings, took away a lot of my necessary items (some of which were medically needed for my hip pain (Biofreeze) I was shown to my room which was very uncomfortable and nowhere near "Hotel Like", I came back to the nurses desk and asked for my belongings so that I could leave at which point I was told that I couldn't. All of this took about 4.5 hours starting at about 10:40 pm when I arrived until about 2:45 am when I finally got to my room. By this time I had seen enough of this place to know that it wasn't for me. I was told at about 2:50 am that I couldn't leave until a Dr. cleared me for departure which ended up taking about 39 hours. One of the Dr.'s even told me just a few hours before I was allowed to leave that, if I didn't stay I would end up right back in there or another facility just like it. That is downright disrespectful and definitely not positive support. To summarize, it was much like a jail with a few nicer perks. If you are in need of a place to go detox from very heavy drinking or drug use for a week or so, and you live in the area then, this place is for you. They will give you all of the "sleep it off meds" you want. If you want REAL help with an addiction then PLEASE! FIND A BETTER PLACE. These types of "hospitals" are designed to keep you coming back.
