As a former employee at the A.D.A.P.T. Facility in Wilmer, Tx I noticed many events and concerns that the public should be aware about. While employed at the facility, I noticed that medication was not properly supplied to the residents in a timely manner. I know of two incidents to my knowledge where EMS had to be called to take residents to the hospital due to not receiving their medication. I also witnessed a monitor "withhold" water priviledges from the residents. I also encountered racial harrassment by other employees when I became aware of these conditions.
I eventually voluntarilly left the facility, and the director herself never even followed up on why I left or the conditions of why I left.in conclusion, I am a humane individual, the residents in that facility are on probation but also have mental illnesses. They are in my opinion being greatly mistreated. Not only through withholding medication, but hygeine products, cleaning conditions, food, and water consumption. I had no issues with the residents/inmates there... But rather with the unprofessional staff that was in charge.
I only am reporting this as I have reported it to upper management and nothing has changed to the facility to my knowledge. My hope is that somebody out there has enough heart to see that this recovery facility "poses" as a great recovery center... When in fact... The residents will tell you... They would rather go back to jail! Working there was an "eye-opener" as to how recovering inmates are treated... And how the system isn't always at work in the best interest of the residents. I sincerely hope that it is looked into and inmates are sent elsewhere so that they may recover in a more positive atmosphere.
