I’m actually currently here, it’s trash. They treat the residents like garbage and don’t care if we succeed or not. The monitors look the other way.

Possibly the worst halfway house in all of Tx.

This place is full of drugs and alchohal at all times. The monitors and administrator know but don't care. They do drug tests but mostly they test those they know will come up clean. They don't want to be exposed. I've spent most of my life in prison and that was my own stupity. Now I'm trying to get my life together and live right but I get zero help from those that are employed here.They just don't care. This is a retirement center for some. Corecivic,who runs this place gets money from the state to house those coming out of prison that have no where else to go. So they don't care in any of the

This place is full of drugs and alchohal at all times. The monitors and administrator know but don't care. They do drug tests but mostly they test those they know will come up clean. They don't want to be exposed. I've spent most of my life in prison and that was my own stupity. Now I'm trying to get my life together and live right but I get zero help from those that are employed here.They just don't care. This is a retirement center for some. Corecivic,who runs this place gets money from the state to house those coming out of prison that have no where else to go. So they don't care in any of the "offenders"as we are referred to,ever leave here. There is no kind of transition about this facility. No one is here to help anyone succeed. As long as it does not interfere with there money. That's very sad. Those of us who wants to do right and get our life together are being blocked in a every direction. Some here don't need help. Some of us do. Like me. I need all the help I can get. Its a real challenge for those that are drug addicts trying to stay clean. Seems like more drugs are here than out on the streets. There are all kind of lawsuits on this facility for a reason.Every day is frustrating and very challenging. I received more help in prison than here and it should not be that way. Ask some of these monitors and they will lie and say this place care and help the residents here but they are nothing but profectional liers. I know, i live here. I see it every day.We are treated just the same as we were treated in prison,like a prisoner instead of like a citizen. This facility needs to be shut down. I wouldn't blame those that line here. The blame is on those that work here because they don't do their job. If they did then there wouldn't be complaints of drug infestation. And everyone here is given a case manager to help them with thing. But they don't care either. They don't want anything but show up and get a paycheck. They don't help with scheduling appointments when the parole officers don't show up. And a lot of residents have lost jobs due to the case managers "loseing"schedules.So all in all this facility is worse than prison.

I believe this center should be closed down, it’s more of a party house with all drugs in there. My son got hooked in there and all employees know what’s up there. No recovery center for me if you ask it’s a set up for failure!!!

I wouldn't recommend this facility either. Yes the staff is aware of the drug usage from other offender; sober living as that is a condition to live in these types of facilities BUT my husband constantly asked to get medical help over and over again. He was transferred to another halfway house in our home town of Abilene,Texas and now he's in the hospital the critical care unit on life support with double pneumonia.

My son is headed here....these comments are scaring the life out of me! How long does he have to stay there before he can come home? He has a home with his family, in a home we have owned for nearly 30 years! Someone told me as soon as his address is approved he can leave. Can anyone tell me how this works? Thank you in advance!!!

My father was housed here from February 2020 til June 2020. How can the staff just let him walk out, knowing full well he has mental issues and is not all there mentally??!!! He was later found deceased 8 to 10 miles, in the desert outside of el paso on sept 4th. An arrest warrant was issued for him 3 days before he "supposedly" left on his own. Why wasn't he picked up right then and there?!! Or placed in some kind of custody until he could be picked up?! He still had his ankle monitor on him when he was found. I was told by the detective investigating his case, that when someone has a warrant issued, the monitor gets shut off. Based on the reviews im reading online, this place definitely needs to be shut down!!

Son needs help......he is locked in and cannot do anything; this place is supposed to be helping him not provoking Him. I have talked to the facility admin and supervisor, and both showed lack of interest. There is no kind of transition about this facility.... Look like it is a set up to fail....

My fiance is in this place and he is a recovering addict and he is tempted daily by the drugs that are in this place; they will take your food when you get to go shopping and they have to get you to and from your job but you never know what time you will be picked up if may be a few minutes but it's been being several hours and they are standing outside in the cold waiting for these people, if they can't do their job let someone else who can get a paycheck for actually working.

My son was released from TDC to this place and his life was a living Hell. He had more problems there than in prison. He told me how the place was not a place to get help when needed. I talked to parole officers, the supervisors and they offered little or no help. they did not act like they were concern about the conversation, the reason or my concern for my son who was assigned to them. My son was there for medical help and was treated badly, he is a diabetic, high blood pressure, mental problems and other medical issues. Here are some of the things...he had to endure. 1. could not go on job hunts to get money to buy the extra food he needed as a diabetic 2.If he brings food to eat to the facility, the guards will inspect the food and then take it from him for themselves to eat in front him 3.when you get to go shopping and they have to get you to and from your job, but you never know what time you will be picked up if may be a few minutes, but it's been being several hours and they are standing outside in the cold/heat waiting for these people, telling them a warrant will be issued if they are late. 4.he is locked in and cannot do anything for no reasons. 5.Taking his money. 6.Drugs, prostitutes in and out There is a lot more. I am a 77-year-old mother that cannot travel due to medical issues and El Paso will not help. They need to hire more responsible people.
