Allied Addiction Recovery LLC – Pittsburgh

I went here for 2 years because it was closest to home. They have the RUDEST people in charge. None of the addiction counselors have NEVER had an addiction making it impossible for them to understand. One counselor said… “ I don’t understand why not just drink a cup of coffee “. Shows how inexperienced and ill informed they are. Do not go here. They are mean and rude!

DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH LOCATION When I first started going here I thought it was going to be completely opposite of what it turned out to be. I began in their regular one day a week outpatient program, but then felt I… needed more counciling and asked to be in intensive outpatient 3 days a week. On day one when developing my treatment plan, I asked to be on Suboxone for only 3 months, which was signed by me, my doctor (who ended up quitting and being switched 3 separate times in 3 months), as well as my councilor Joe. I have had to begin my own taper, now that they refuse to lower my script Mg no matter how many times I have reminded and asked. I was told I would be graduating from iop a week in advance and had my heart set on it, told work I was coming back full time, and was ready to make the next step in my life. Upon thinking it was my last day in IOP I was told by the front desk Ladies (who almost never have a good attitude) that "insurance is going to pay for more sessions" and that I needed to stay in IOP. Not only will they NOT begin a legitimate taper process, but they won't graduate you out as long as the insurance company will pay for it. As for Joe, he definitely helped me in many ways and I did learn a lot from him, but as soon as his job is threatened in any way (as it was when he considered graduating me from the program) he goes back on his word and becomes very fake. I understand money makes the world go around, but these are peoples lives being messed with by the people we go to for help, and I find it extremely unethical to guide your patient in one direction and then pull the rug out from under their plans for life just because they might get a few more dollars of insurance money. Wish I would've read the reviews before choosing this clinic, which is why I am leaving one now. Good luck if you go here, I hope you have a better experience than I did, but I really just recommend going ANYWHERE but here.

Kena is a terrible therapist and threw me out because I started going to the night groups which were better for me according to my schedule at work. She told me I need to tell work I have other obligations yeah okay.… She's rude ignorant and nobody likes her. Everybody's going to go to the nighttime group that I've spoken to they all feel the same Joe is a way better therapist then she is. She should be ashamed of herself she thinks she's up on her high horse like she told me. She needs to go back to school or get another kind of occupation. She's sneeky gets everyone in trouble. She knows she couldn't talk down to me that's why she didn't like me I'm a 56 year-old woman not a 20 year old that's incarcerated not only is she a terrible therapist but she's a very bad human being as well. And probably one of those mothers that thinks her kids are never gun going to get involved in something bad. Well it's those kind of parents that it does happen to their children. I don't wish Karma on anybody. She has never been in that situation and doesn't understand like Joe does good luck to you Kina cuz you're going to need it

The person I spoke with on the phone had a bit of an attitude, but she was helpful.

The Washington clinic is horrible. The counsler there don't know what he's doing. Tells you to be honest when he don't know the first thing about being honest himself. So many better clinics in Washington with counslers… who are supportive of You!
