The woman working the front desk is nice. Gina McDonald, the woman doing evaluations accused me of having oxy in my system, when a simple search would show the number one cause of false positives for Oxy is Naloxone, a medicine in Suboxone, which I am prescribed. After doing further screen at my doctor, it was negative. Didn’t bother to send it to the lab for confirmation, which is policy. She will treat you like you’re subhuman, and straight up acting like a bully. Clearly on a power trip, and clearly needs more education on addiction. Not to mention, she misspelled nearly all of my medications. Do not give these people money. They (Gina) has no interest in helping people, they’re just there for a paycheck.

Will be hearing from my attorney. He said them dumping out the screen, and not sending it to the lab is a violation of policy, when it’s common knowledge that Suboxone can cause a false positive for Oxy bc of the Naloxone.

Project Adams had gone above and beyond to help with my alcohol assessment and was in constant contact with my out of state lawyers. The heart that went with this was awesome and I definitely recommend for anyone that is having issues contact this rehabilitation center.

I had a case from CT transferred to Georgia and it seemed like everywhere I went nobody understood what classes to give me. I went in & Mike helped me the second I walked in . He called and got the approval of the classes and signed all my paperwork , faxed it immediately and now I am finally able to start these classes and put this case behind me. I was starting to feel hopeless but once I left Project Adam , I felt a weight lift from my shoulders .Finally a place who gets straight to the point and understood what I needed . Also the classes are inexpensive and I would highly recommend to anyone for any case in or out of state !

Project ADAM is the greatest and to see people on here posting negative stuff and talking about people offends me. It's funny to me that people want to get on here the day before they graduate Drug Court which wouldn't run without Project ADAM and bash the people that have helped them make it to graduation. The problem most clients have is they come thru these programs thinking they can still get over, thinking their smarter than the people running the program and it catches up with them every time. What happens generally when a person is in the wrong? They get called out on it and most human beings don't like that. They take offense to it and the only way to make their self feel better about their wrong doing is to blame someone else. Project ADAM is always taking heat for the actions of people that live in denial. They wear a mask but the mask only covers up things for so long and then the true identity finally shows thru on a person and the game they play is over and they no longer can fool people with their actions. Project ADAM helped me save my life 3 and a half years ago, I'm still clean and sober today because I continuously work my recovery. People in recovery for the moment to skip out on a prison sentence will always go back. It never fails. I'm the only one out of everybody I was in Drug Court with who has truly remained clean and sober, I came here on a mission and I was serious about my recovery, that's why I live a clean and sober life today. I didn't come thru Drug Court trying to play a game, I didn't forge names to an AA sheet claiming that I attended a meeting when I didn't, I didn't complain about being in groups and this being a waste of my time, that is some of the few reasons I'm a success story today. If you think your post is going to do any damage to Project ADAM you have lost your mind and you know why? You have people like me who fight 24/7 for Project ADAM, I'm the real deal, the true definition of a recovering addict and you are someone who will need help again, I see it everyday. Your ungratefulness, your comments that are not true, the negative attitude, the I can't wait for graduation to be over so I can go do what I want to is why you will need help again, but always remember the things you have said about the place that helped you when no one else wanted too. Reading these comments about Mr. Mike and Mrs. Gina flat out disgust me. You should be ashamed of yourself for your actions. I have one question, why couldn't you come up to Project ADAM and say these things to the faces of the people you are putting down? I work here with these people that you are talking down on and more than that, they dedicate their life to this place. ANYTIME I need help, support, guidance, they still to this day give it to me. Project ADAM has been running for 37 years because of Gina McDonald and it will continue running because of her. The treatment people receive here depends on what the individual puts into their recovery. The comments you have made on this review are wrong, especially when I have witnessed you being disrespectful to Mrs. Gina over you not doing your community service the way you needed to be doing it, so if you're going to talk about us then at least be honest. Good luck with your graduation and good luck with your sobriety, you're definitely going to need it. I'm sorry if my comment offends anybody, at this point it can't be any worse than this other guy. I live and fight for my recovery and I live and fight for Project ADAM. Team Project ADAM until I die.

A blessing in disguise! They taught me a different way, a better way, to live. After 10 days in jail, and still wearing an eye patch and numerous stitches and staples in my head and face, from fighting with my own brother, I arrived at Project Adam. With a boulder on my shoulder and an even worse attitude. Mad at the world for how it had treated me. They (Gina) recognized this immediately. Little did I know, she saw right through me, and she did the best thing she could have done for me to make me realize the severity of the situation I was in. SHE SENT ME PACKING! I was terrified. I had to go back and tell the Probation Officer I had been told to leave. He gave me 2 choices. Go back the next day and some how plead for them to let me stay, or straight to jail until my case came to court. Which would be the better part of a year. That is the day I swallowed my so called pride and was humbled beyond belief. I had a different outlook on life from that day forward. I wasn't being forced to go to Project Adam. I was one of the lucky ones who was given the opportunity to go. That was over 15 years ago. I actually became a bit of an example of how well their program works. Thank you Project Adam.
