  • By far the WORST place you could possibly send someone in need of behavioral health services. I got sent there by my local hospital since it was the first place with an open bed and I could not believe how horribly I was treated by the staff and the environment of the whole place in general literally felt like a prison.

  • It was a nightmare. Didn't help with anything as far as I'm concerned. I talked with a counselor once and a doctor twice, and they did almost all of the talking. I was on a narcotic, and they overdosed me. Everything about it was awful.

    They had several activities that were awesome, including sitting in huge reclining chairs while listening to spa mediation music or guided imagery. They had several areas where you could go outside (enclosed), smoking and non smoking, including a courtyard with beautiful statues that allowed me to meditate. I also found that the staff was very good about things like the fact that I was given a medication that didn't work for me and when I didn't want to take it, they got the doctor to give the order removed from my chart. I also didn't get hassled when I was having anxiety and asked for a valium, especially with the above mentioned med. Absolutely was the best experience. I've been to other facilities that couldn't even come close to what this one provided for me. It was a huge help for me. Ultimately I relapsed, but it gave me the skills that I needed to continue trying. Activities were perfect for what I needed; staff and everyone involved was awesome, even the food was good. When I left, they set me up with a whole list of things to do and people to see.
