Some of the nurses are great, but there is such turnover, that the “culture of Schick” has been mostly lost.Īs for the food, you are definitely not going to get what you feel is a good value for the $20,000 the treatment costs. At least that is what I experienced up until my leaving. There is not enough time to get to all of the patients. Some of the counselors there are wonderful, but don’t expect to get much.

And with them, so went much of the caring spirit that made this a special hospital. Once the hospital went from being owned by former patients to it’s current 2nd corporate ownership, the majority of the most talented and experienced nursing, counseling, and administrative staff have left, retired, or been let go.

And to those who have no psychological issues that cause them to drink. First of all, the treatment does work but only for those who are truly ready.

I just would like to inform people of some things before admitting themselves or a loved one at Schick Shadel Hospital.
