Specialization

  • Individualized Treatment

    Some facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc.
  • Family Program

    Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.

I've been an addict for over 30 years, I went here and came out of this program with a totally different outlook on things and the core route to why I was doing the things I was doing. I see a lot of people complaining how bad this place was, I guess it was better in the addiction life. SMH. Well coming out of here, I have 5 years clean off of drugs and alcohol.

My son is currently at McD house, he went to the detox there first. The staff has been extremely supportive to me and my son. I went and saw him for the first time since being “clean” & he is excited about the future and support he’s received for fellow residents and staff. I called and one of the counselors there helped to guid me with finding a sober home for when he is discharged. I see all of these poor reviews and am stunned because so far the experience we’ve had is helping to save my sons life. I think what people need to realize is there is work on their own behalf involved to get the most of of what MCCA offers. I would definitely suggest this facility to anyone who is in current need of detox and services.

STAY AWAY I read all reviews online before I made my own review because you have to give places the benefit of the doubt but they’re all truth this place is the worst, the facilitators are good but the upper staff like teachers and administration sucks if you challenged them on something they get defensive and throw you out of the program like they did to me.
