By far the cleanest, most well run facility of its kind I’ve been to. Yeah certain staff members are a little rude or lazy and the groups definitely need some help but overall was a really good experience. I spoke with the psychiatrist daily and felt very in control of my medication. You get to order your own food and pick tv stations which helps feel like you are not in jail. ALEJANDRO on night staff is an absolute legend. Not only was he a cool guy he actually gave a crap about his job and absolutely carried that place.

Absolutely the worst mental hospital to stay at or care for you or your loved one. I came in last month because I was having some suicidal thoughts after taking an antidepressant.

My personal therapist I was assigned, Yvonne, was known for bullying patients and having a rough exterior approach. I tried to advocate for myself through misdiagnosis and s... read more

I wanted to share my family’s experience with the behavioral health unit. My younger sister was admitted to the behavioral unit back in July, she spent about a month there and it really put her on the right track to recovery. I wish I could remember everyone’s names but the staff, nurses, case manager and psychiatrists were all so kind, helpful and supportive to my sister. I appreciate and recommend this hospital, Thank you!

I cannot give this center enough stars. A family member attended this program and this program changed her life. Honestly, the therapists there along with the way their programs are structured is deep, thorough work. This program is one of the best programs I have ever seen for mental health. My family member has been to countless programs, psychiatrists and therapist and this place was finally the light of hope she needed. As she waved her white surrender flag, desperate, defeated, and hopeless… this program planted a littl... read more
