Schick Shadel Hospital

I have an older brother that is 15 years older than me. There were many times I did not want to even call him my brother, so many times that I wished I could look to him for guidance or just even be proud of him. But I couldn't because he had a serious alcohol problem. He finally decided that he need help with his alcohol problem. So he checked himself into Schick Shadel in Jan. 09 and 10 days later you could just tell he was a differant man. I was speechless and believe me I am never speechless. It's been almost 1 year to date and he has not had a drop of alcohol. When we have family get togethers now he brings coffee instead of his usuall beer. I have my big brother back and now I can say that I truly look up to him and am proud to have him as my big bro!! You may think that Schick's moto can't be true, but it is, I've experienced the blessing that Schick Shadel Hospital is!! In Just Ten Days they gave my brother and my family our lives back. Thank you Schick!!!

It realy does seem to be working. It works much in the same way that the violence aversion in A Clockwork Orange worked. It's basically the same thing but with more vomit. I have built up a stong aversion to alcohol and wil probably never be able to drink again. Which is what I signed up for. The ungodly vomiting and loose stool (like water) caused by the treatments is in fact violent! The main thing I want to say here is that the nursing staff is unbelievably flippant and severly unorganized. it seems as though they never know whats going on with any patient at any time. and will fight tooth and nail with you about anything even when they are obviousely mistaken. It also seems as though they could care less about that. Be carefull. they wil give you your meds and then come back in a bit to give you your meds again then they will give you no meds and claim you already took them when you certainly have not and refuse to give them to you, and say that you are "drug seeking" - For Blood ...

I checked in on a Saturday night after work and was given a room and told what I could keep and what had to be locked up. After that I was left alone for the night without any guidance of what to expect. Honestly I was a little scared. But once things got started my fear subsided . The staff was very friendly and helpful. With the exeption of one or two, the councelors were great. Most of them were extremely well spoken and knowledgable and showed a genuine sincerity for what they did and the others walked around sprouting sound bits like "once your a pickle you can never be a cucumber" and expecting people to think they were profound. All said and done I won't go into details about the program other than to say it works. I've never been one for the 12 step program (my deepest respect for those who work it and have been successful with it) I have tried AA and other 12 step treatment centers both on my own and by the divine hand of the legal system and it didn't work for me.
