I was here for about 4 months on scholarship. Its 10k a month which in my opinion caters to affluent. It felt more like a luxury brand than a recovery space. More like a rest stop for the wealthy than a sober living. The staff were highly untrained, it came to a point where some if not most were using in one capacity or another. They moved me from house to house, room to room with no notice, while the ones who paid the most got the best treatment. The price and the arrogant owner made me feel the need to write a review a year after the experience. I do appreciate the opportunity to come here. This is just my honest opinion. Sorry if it upsets anyone
Sam has been a pleasure to work with throughout the years. The facility is beautiful. Highly recommend.
The Palisades Men's House and all of its staff cared for a loved one during a difficult time. Christian, Anthony, Sam, and the staff at Verve Behavioral Health have played a large role in their healing process, and we are immensely thankful. There was always constant communication between the house managers and family, which was much appreciated and valued. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Palisades to anyone that's seeking an elevated level of support while in recovery.
I had a great stay at The Palisades House. It provided the structure, support and therapeutic environment that I needed. The space was very comfortable and the location in DuPont circle is great. The staff were great in helping me with accountability, guidance and self improvement.
It wasn’t terrible, but I couldn’t trust the place. Didn’t feel safe or heard. Not an effective or efficient place to go if you have substance or any mental illness for that matter. This is for the men’s and women’s house. Staff were not trained at all for this level of care that they are supposedly offering.
Loved it in the beginning. Then it became about money. AND NOW it’s mixed - women and men should never be combined in sober living. And narcissistic mothers and fathers should never dictate a child’s medical treatment. For the money especially. This will not last
