Wow, what can I say...I would rate them a 10 if I could. This place is amazing. It was my 1st and hopefully last time in rehab and I couldn't have picked a better place. Its a small quaint facility so you really get to know the other rehabers and the staff. The staff is top notch, I fell in love with Chelsea, Chris, Travis, Chris and the other other Chris, LOL along with Patricia and Kelly the nurses. They make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of. This place is the Ritz Carlton of rehabs, no joke. If you or anyone you know is suffering with addiction, PLEASE call LIVE again Detox in Nashville, they will take the best care of you. Thanks LAD for being my family while I was there, I will love you all forever.

I'm giving one star because this facility convinced me, while at my lowest, that my insurance was accepted and I would be covered to which I found out today, by calling my insurance provider, that they were in fact not in network. The financial burden I face from treatment here is now overwhelming me. I accepted further treatment, IOP, trusting Live Again to place me with a facility that accepted my insurance, only to find out, yet again, that the continuation of treatment through Lexington Addiction Center is not in network with Aetna insurance. I was never told to check for myself if they were in network or not. I was rushed into treatment blindly and now I will be facing financial hardships from what bills are to come.

Do yourself a favor. Call your insurance plan yourself and make sure the facility you're looking to get into is actually in network. Don't make the same mistake I have
