Olalla Recovery Centers - Gig Harbor Counseling Center

I came out of my last relapse broken and in so much pain I thought I would stay broken. I decided to finally reach out and get help that I found out I so desperately needed. I did an intake with the staff at Olalla in Gig Harbor and they got me into intensive outpatient very quickly. That with another program, I began to heal. I can not say thank you enough to everyone there for the help and love they showed me in the time I was with them. In about a week I will celebrate a year sober. Truly sober for the first time in my life. All I had to do was follow a little direction, be openminded, and completely honest and willing to do what is needed to do to work on myself.

Thank you so much for starting me in the direction of my new life. I can not express the gratitude and love I have for all the counselors I had who guided me on the start of this amazing journey. You were truly there when I needed you.

Went in there a wreck. Learned some decent ways of identifying and dealing with the reasons I want to use, before they wrap around me again. Don't get me wrong there is no miracle place, unless someone wants to open there eyes they can't see. But this place definitely had the tools available if you where willing to learn how to use them.

Thank you to Jessica for listening to my situation and helping me on my journey to recovery. She was very supportive and attentive to my needs and circumstances

I had a terrible experience at Olalla recovery center pretty much start to finish! They are clearly not there to help everyone. If they don’t like a person they won’t go out of their way to help you. I absolutely do not recommend this place!! A couple classes were okay but I ended up getting really sick and wasn’t able to attend all the classes and they told me if I missed one more class I would be discharged. There are multiple people skipping classes just because they didn’t want to go to them and the staff did nothing about that. But I was still really sick when they informed me I couldn’t miss anymore classes. So I left still really sick after 2 weeks. Also, on my last day there I had inhaled some food and I was choking, there was staff all around me but no one did anything or even offered to help. One kitchen lady look really discusted that I was choking. Everyone just went about their business like nothing was happening. They totally play favorites and help people who are like their pets. I really went in with high hopes and looking forward to getting help but it turned out to be the worst 2 weeks! Time and money totally wasted! To say I’m disappointed with Olalla is an understatement! I do not recommend this place at all!!!

I was at Olalla for 2 weeks before I contracted COVID (that staff had brought in.) I was marooned by the director in the emergency room, they graciously dropped all my bags of in the waiting room. I live 3 hours from gig harbor and was screwed. Don't go.. Nice support staff..terribly managed.

Went to this treatment center graduated had medical insurance and they say I owe them $229 and put it against my credit. I had no outstanding bills when I graduated. I’ve been to several recovery places and not one billed me after I graduated and ruined my credit. That’s not a way to start a clean life in debt

My Initial impression was poor at best.
I Felt like like the women I spoke to was uncaring and uninterested.
I will be looking elsewhere for support and suggest you do the same.
