Bradford Health Services

this was the first time i had ever been to rehab, and i want to say this was the best place i had ever chosen to go too, they made me feel at home and peace, everyone came to me to talk and it made me feel like i wasn’t alone during getting sober!!

So I just left an extensive review of my negative experience at Bradford. Now I can't find it. No surprise, Bruce Tumlin [email protected]

If you are an RN sent for a 3 day evaluation then read this. Your 1st night will be in the withdrawal ward. I spent 1 night there. If you're withdrawing it will be more. I have great insurance so my 3 day evaluation turned into 7. Next day went to a cottage with other men. Had to take a van each day to get my vitals checked and receive my daily medication. I'm 60 years old at this point. They increased one of my daily high blood pressure medications without my consent. No big deal I thought. They took blood, shaved my chest hair for analysis, had me bend over and spread my ass cheeks for hidden drugs in front of females, searched my car, went thru my suitcase and confiscated my keys and phone. Know that when you are sent to a cabin there are phones. They are monitored just like prison so careful what you say. I know this because my evaluation included a comment I made to a friend by phone. They will seem like your friend and ask seemingly innocent questions about your history regarding doctors, therapists, counselors, work history, etc. They will contact EVERYONE you give them. If you have EVER in your life thought about suicide, then you are now suicidal. So at the end of my 7 days I went for dismissal. Room with all the people I had met during this ordeal. There were NO positive drug tests (and if you want those records you have to request and pay a fee. I did) Apparently, I had elevated Liver Enzymes that indicated that I was an alcoholic. Remember the increased medication I was given... side effect,,,you guessed it,, elevated liver enzymes. I was shocked. So I asked whats next.. Well we can admit you here for 6 months to cure you. Did I mention I'm a senior with Federal BC/BS. So I said get my fucking phone and keys I'm leaving. Nursing License is suspended but at my age I don't care. I wasted 2K on a lawyer so get this shit straight. Good Luck my fellow Nurses. You dont deserve this. Bruce Tumlin bruce,[email protected]

I was there in May 2022 . It’s been 8 months and Im going to AA meetings, got sponsor and steps. Bradford was great for me . Ms. Shawn , Sam , all just wonderful. Im in Gardendale and AA in Mt Olive , so some Bradford counselors and others come often to group meetings. Thank you all at Bradford. ❤️❤️❤️

I have never encountered a place where I have a wife who needs help, I have insurance, no issues and today, January 19, I have had to sit waiting on the phone for 45 minutes with no answer. We will be going to Florida for treatment. It’s like they have no employees who are doing their jobs. I used the Tuscaloosa office over a year ago and they were great, at least the person who got all of our information. The “Director “ was pretty cold to our feelings, now I find out that office doesn’t exist. Someone needs to Buy this company and actually do something with it!!!
