The Renaissance House leaves a bittersweet memory in my mind. The living conditions are horrendous. What happens is if you complain or try and do anything about the living environment and issues within the program, you are basically threatened to lose your child. The program begins to mess with you and find reasons to get dyfs against you. I lived there in the winter with my newborn with no heat. My baby would shiver all through the night. All the children were constantly sick and with respiratory infections. I caught pneumonia while in the program and was expected to go to groups after 2 days. I was still severely sick but my fever had leveled out with the medicine I was on. Without a fever at NRH, you're not considered sick and are not allowed to go to a doctor. My baby was terribly sick as a newborn and didn't eat for going on 3 days. He had a high fever which leveled out with tylenol. He was still throwing up, not eating and miserable. NRH denied my child hospital care. They refused to allow him to go. When I pushed the subject, they called dyfs on me and told them that I was acting out and acting irrational around my baby. Children in this program do not receive the medical attention needed and it's sad. Mothers are afraid to push past a certain point because they fear losing their child to dyfs. Not to mention, the substance abuse treatment is limited and rarely worked on. The most treatment I received from the program was outside NA meetings, which are available outside of a program. This program has potential but needs a lot of changes with staff. And a new building for the women. There was a lot of things I could say that's corrupt that happened, but all I truly care about is the health and safety of those babies.

Very horrible place. When I was there they had numerous cases of scabies and mersa and all they said to us residents was \everyone will be ok just don't touch anyone\ All of the children there constantly had respiratory infections due to our living conditions. I was pregnant when I was there and hated it
This place is the worst place on Earth to go to if you are looking for addiction treatment. I went here thinking myself \if this is anything like the last facility I was in 2 years ago then it won't be that bad\.....it was literally a nightmare. Liz Barone & Leetasha Cruz have absolutely no idea what they are doing & have no idea how to work as a team. My DCP&P caseworker came in to discuss issues going on with my child & myself because there were so many problems I was calling her everyday & Liz Barone refused to answer her questions & Leetasha Cruz actually looking herself in her office & pretended like she wasn't even there. My child was so sick with oxygen saturation levels ranging in the 80's & I had to beg staff to call 911 because they are told they need permission to do so. This place is so scary & so unsafe for the children. Please please go anywhere else but here. I feel like I have been mentally damaged from going to this place. I don't even know how to correctly interact with people now that I am back in the eal world\. I just learned more bad habits. This place needs to be either shut down or new people need to be sitting in the higher up positions. It's really sad that a treatment facility could teach more bad habits than good.
this place is absolutely horrible. the staff they have are so untrained and hardly know what they are doing, some of them don't even want to handle the children. the staff is so rude and quick to judge even though half of them are recovering addicts as well. some staff even claim some of the clients children on their taxes! i stayed here for 6 months and completed the program but it was not easy. the only good thing was I got my son within 30 days of being there, that's it. the place was dirty and disgusting, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned since it opened. rats, bugs, dust everywhere. the vents do not get cleaned I looked in mine once and there was about five inches of dust inside. the children constantly get sick, even the clients too if I think about it. the place needs to be remodeled and so does the staff.. let me tell you that. the rules were very easy to break and there was no consequences to your actions. you quit drugs alcohol and sex and they make you even quit cigarettes too. you were not allowed outside and there was very little outside exposure to the real world. I would honestly not recommend anyone to go here try finding somewhere else to go because you will hate it here. if I could rate it 0 stars.. I would.
