Do not go here or have your loved one admitted here, ESPECIALLY if they are a child (I know how hard it is to find mental health treatment for youth in VT but anywhere is better than here. There are also short term residential places in the state that the system doesn’t tell you about that will actually help especially for those under 18, like the Howard Center for example). I was here back in 2014 on Osgood 1 and from what I remember it wasn’t terrible. The bathrooms smelled like pee 24/7 and there was no real therapy going... read more

I want to thank the Battleboro retreat for helping me many years ago. It's been about twenty years since I was there as a patient. To me they helped me the most out of all others that I got treatment. The stuff is wonderful and I can't thank you enough for saving my life. The name I used when I was there went by Ana Hartford. I use this name for privacy. So if you want to look me up it's Ana Hartford. IV been sober since I left the retreat.saying thank you is not enough to express my true feelings and how much you helped me.

Was bad enough that I became allergic to the medicine afterwards. It's crazy to me that even after 25-30 years clearly there is still horrid shit ... read more

The people here have absolutely horrid grammar. The only good thing about this place was the deck swap card in uno and the weetabix... unfortunately, King Jessica/Julian would limit my eating habits. In all seriousness, when I first got to Brattleboro I was extremely nervous from the reviews I saw online being majorly negative (which then became an ongoing joke between me, my peers, and the staff - hence the beginning). That being said, for me, I found my stay there to be helpful and a good life experience to know that there... read more
