CATS, Inc. — Local services in Ocala

I contacted CATS (Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Services) in November of 2014 because I wanted help - I could not stop drinking. I visited the website and clicked on the contact button and submitted a request for more information, having NO clue what I was about to experience. Kelly, one of the outstanding front desk ladies, contacted me back within 10-15 minutes and the window was open for me to get the help I really needed, and desperately wanted.

I will write another review at the end of my time there and hope everyone who researches places such as this give CATS a try. I don't regret my choosing their facility and actually look forward to being in their...

there is a lack of any kind of privacy when you go to this treatment center. Steve the head councler has approached me on several occasions in the local Starbucks and just openly talking about other clients and cases. I thought there was supposed to be some kind of doctor patient confidentiality. I find it highly disrespectful then discuss other clients and their ongoing criminal cases.even discuss clients in his open groups when the client is not even present just exploiting their situahtion . This is unethical, a lack of privacy. I've even seen him just go and report to judges that put his clients in prison, this person did not do anything unlawful . This ...
