Recovery in Motion

I've heard nothing but good things about Recovery in Motion, it may be a newer program here in Tucson, but the staff that work there have years of experience. I do not work there, have never worked there, but it bothers me when people make snap decisions and type in ideas, not facts. It can hurt not only the program, but also the participants. Facts, not ideas folks...As for me, Recovery in Motion, Rock on! You are all doing a great job in our community, and that's what our community needs!!!Thank you!!

I cannot recommend this facility. My husband could've died there. He is clean and sober so I give them 2 stars. But as far as his physical health went, they did not provide the care he needed. He had walking pneumonia for several days when he was finally so sick that he asked them to take him to hospital. He was on IV of antibiotics for 2 and 1/2 days. There were situations that someone there should've noticed and had him seen by their 'doctor'. And, he is diabetic which was way out of control and they didn't do enough to help him get his blood sugar under control. His #s were over 300. He could've gone into diabetic coma. The case manager told me one day near end of his stay ( yes, the diabetes issue was not resolved until 3 days before his release, 60 day treatment)Anyway, the manager said they can't pick up prescriptions written by outside doctors unless approved by their 'doctor'. My husbands doctor has been treating him for diabetes 3 years now. But RIM 'doctor' knew better?While I'm hearing this unsettling news from case manager that they won't pick up his insulin, my daughter was texting me at same time that her Dad got his insulin!!!! What the heck? Do they communicate? So make sure you are very aware of the physical health of your loved one and any dietary needs and meds. I could go on about those 2 subjects as well. Not good. I did like sharing with other families supporting one another. And like I said my husband got clean there but really do your research and ask questions about healthcare, medications and diets. Hope this helps.

My experience at RIM was good considering the back story as to why I was there. Although there were things I didn't agree with in regards to the treatment here, it was my first (and hopefully last) experience with treatment and do not know how other treatment facilities are ran. I was treated fairly my entire stay in treatment, and never once felt that my recovery did not come first in management eyes. All-in-all, I believe my stay at RIM was instrumental in my recovery and a good start to a better and meaningful life.

I completed 60 days and the staff / clients definitely made my stay great. (as far as rehabs go :) )

"RIM", RECOVERY IN MOTION was such an amazing program! It literally saved/changed my life. The staff were awesome, the facility made you feel comfortable while you were adjusting to your new life, the food was endless, and the recovery was hands down the best treatment around. So many family and friends that graduated from this program, INCLUDING ME, have completely made a 360 in there lives. I now live a productive, purposeful, drug and alcohol free life all thanks to RECOVERY IN MOTION

This is probably the worst place on the planet that you could send a loved one. It's a miserable little dump first of all. Secondly, there's no medical attention. Zero at the housing units. They kept asking me if I was still supposed to be on a blood pressure med. I took it for like 20 days....turns out I was supposed to be on it 3 days. The medical assistant who can't even hand you the meds, you have to take them out of the bottle, messed mine up and shorted a pill. Then there wasn't a benzo taper for 5 days...very dangerous. This place is truly garbage. The schedule is downright miserable. There's zero time to cook all your own food and eat. You have to clean their apartments daily, and for a few hours every Sunday. Don't believe the thorough medical detox marketing they cram down your throat. Don't believe all the "oooh we do this fun stuff on the weekend....even shopping, wow!" first of all if you go shopping with them to target, they keep you in a group and yell at everyone, stay in this section, (way too loudly) then we'll move on to, say, hygiene. You completely feel like a group of special needs people, not that there's something wrong with that, but if you're not, it's pretty damn embarrassing. You wake up...I don't know they keep changing it from the reports I get, but somewhere around 5:20, and your dragged all over Tuscon all day long. You don't get the phone for the first 8 days your there. If you do anything wrong, like at all, they take your phone so you can't even communicate to people at home and let them know what a miserable place this is. Staff hits on clients, there are drugs in there...for sure. When I was there, and people I've privately talked to since. I'll forever stay on top of this "business" and see if they ever change. they want your money, that's it. Their PHP program (pre-hospitalization-program) (supposed to be their highest level .... you watch netflix, comedians and take walks. I'm guessing their staff doesn't have anything to teach, so they just pretend like lets just have fun this time...but not when it's every time...you think you'd get some education. If you need to just get off the street for a bit and be miserable as hell...go there. I'd not go there again if they paid me double their ridiculous fee for that place. Triple even. Maybe quadruple since I'm clean and healthy now. but that's because I could go through their version of hell, while not in my own version. They break HIPAA laws. l personally witnessed many clients being gossiped about to other clients, including myself. When I left early, the person that let me stay with them...their mother also said, oh you're the guy from near dc...Michael was telling me a story about the guy he picked up that came from DC area, and gave all these details to her... He's a used car salesman....don't listen to his bs. Find a proper spot. There's a ton of terrible gossip that literally make people leave. So many people left, that by the day I left, with another client, and my good friend left days before...they only had 6 people in that place. It's also in the worst neighborhood...sirens ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT, and helicopters. It's like an hour from Mexico, the streets are flooded with drugs. There's a ton of meth there and black tar heroin. people get it at meetings when they meet their local friends, or just hop the wall at night and grab some. And other than the mountain you can see over the concrete wall surrounding the place....It's hideous. Staff makes fun of you...I literally can go on forever. I write these reviews, like I've written one on Facebook and Google, because that JUST how bad this place actually was and people need to know the truth. And I was extremely serious about getting clean, and I did...after I left that horrifying place. I've been one other place, and the comparison could only be good vs evil or heaven vs hell...both times I was heavily detoxing, so don't think I'm just a complainer. Both times I was dead serious about it. This place is just the worst. I cannot imagine how a bunch of so called adults can't create a better schedule. It just wears your down. If you miss your important medication by like 1 minute, you don't get it. Ridiculous. The other place I went to had three actual nurses at all times, not just a medical assistant like RIM...and she wasn't even at the housing unit...only at the office during the day. But the other place had 3 real nurses all the time, and you could go to the nurse if you were feeling bad and actually get medical attention. THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PUT ONE STAR REVIEWS ON HERE! THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BELIEVE ON HERE!!! THEY'RE SO AVID ABOUT GETTING ON HERE AND PUTTING A ONE STAR REVIEW FOR A REASON! Wow read Kathy's update. Truly sorry Kathy!!!! That's awful!! see? lots of heroin there. But seriously, listen to her!!! RIM i hope authorities shut your corrupt practice down. Wake up RIM

The staff genuinely care. A lot of improvements have been made and I see nothing but good things in store for this facility.

Just left there on March 16th, 2021. I was using heroin, meth and pretty much every other drug so one of my first questions was about their detox. Michael completely stretched the truth about their detox program. The detox is NOT an actual detox. Unless you don't mind barely eating, being forced to wake up at 5am every single day, and a clumsy staff that knows NOTHING about medical detox except that most of them have been through some sort of detox. Michael is absolutely a car salesman and failed to mention that the detox is really just a building where you can watch Netflix. Their on-call doctor is useless. If you're the kind of person who needs to be CONSTANTLY busy in the first days of detox you will love it. I, however, was coming off of IV heroin and meth use and just really needed to eat and sleep. Two things you definitely do not get to do much of in their "detox"The actual program once you're done with detox is just as busy. Expected to be awake by 530am everyday, two AA/NA meetings a day, constant cleaning, no time to cook healthy meals, inconsistent staff and rules. I would skip this one if you're looking for a physically comfortable recovery. Being warm, well-fed, and getting enough sleep are huge for me as I've been on the streets. Being at Recovery in Motion was almost as hectic as being on the streets except I ate less and felt even more out of control because they hardly ever let you use the phone. In fact they require you to get a sponsor in the first 7 days or you will NOT be allowed to use the phones. At all. Plus the staff all seem terrified of their boss Joe. It's bizarre. Skip this one for sure. Even ARC was better than this program and that's saying a lot.

Do not send your loved ones here! Food program here is ridiculous. You cook your own food, which is not the problem. They are supposed to provide the food. They haphazardly provide very little, extremely low grade food. Im sure they bill the insurance companies as if they had a food service provided. Amounts to insurance fraud. Poorly managed place that need new leadership. No follow up and excuses. The rest of the staff trys to provide a reasonable experience, but leadership prevents any improvement.

I give RIM 3 stars instead of 5 because while my addicted son was in their care they made a couple major mistakes! Ones they chalked up as a "learning experience" well learning at our expense was no fun! They broke the confidentiality rule! They broke the Hippa Law! And told my son after 2 months of recovery upon leaving that they wouldn't trust our family with their dog! Meanwhile the program worked really well for our son and us as a family too. We dove right in head first and worked this program to its fullest potential. To have been their experiment so to speak was not professional. They do have a great counselor that runs the program. The personal Counselors are great! The life coaches are great too! However the family counselor can be very lazy! With an eating disorder! All in all, I'm glad he went here. We have a sober son back that is determined to stay that way. My only wish is that they iron out all the kinks they need to iron and quit practicing on the families! Update: since my son left RIM. We lost him 2 months later. He went in a Meth Addict and as soon as he got out he hooked up with all the people that was in treatment with him. They became buddies and were not a good support system for each other! A few that I know for sure relapsed right away as my son did. However, he decided to try Heroine for the first time since that was the thing to do in Tucson and he immediately got hooked up by his RIM buddies. He died of an overdose July 5th 2016. Our hearts are broken and they got our 17,000 dollars.
