I'd give zero stars if I could! When I was in the adolescent section of this place in the early 2000's, I was treated very badly by one of the male staff. He snuck in my room in the middle of the night, threw my things everywhere, broke my dresser & slammed me against the wall. I was beaten, chased, dragged on the floor til I was bleeding & the skin on my back was peeling off & had furniture thrown at me. He also took away food from me. Even after I surrendered, he continued. Although I did start the fight with my behavior\... read more

If you’re trying to stay out of jail, this is the place. As a matter of fact, the majority of the men, while I was here, were avoiding incarceration. I was not.

I am in the process of getting ahold of th Better Business Bureau because I felt so unsafe with the people they let in there. This place is a farce!! Administration has been caught lying and for a faith based program, Life coach’s don’t believe in the Bible. They care about the money and NOT the people and that is horrible. Im sure the administration loves their huge houses on the pretty lakes and their huge boats to play in the water with. I told my lawyer that I would go to prison for 80 months then have to go back to tha... read more
