I don't know, this place seemed like a play ground for my son, sadly he just came home five hours ago and is already back to a few of the behaviors that he went in their for help. In my Opinion not enough therapy and too much play time. My son also came home screaming for his dad and I to give him more meds then he needs, bc he while in their has developed I get hyper,fidgeting, or out of control I need more pills to calm me down. Seems he has learned that the pills are a magic fix and forgot about self control. I feel now he thinks the pills will make him all better and they have taught him that. He actually cried bc he wanted to stay there bc it was so fun instead of coming home. He was completely behaved his entire two week stay there bc he was pretty much allowed To do whatever, as long as he attended a few counseling sessions. They made everything seem like play time to him. Now we are back to square one. RITA I would like to talk to you, seems my child and yours was in there around the same time. My son is only ten and I will never send him back there again.

I went here 3 times, about 2 weeks the first two times and 2 months for the 3rd. Yeah it's loud and crazy sometimes, but out of all the psychiatric hospitals I'd gone to this one was where I felt the most comfortable. I really got to bond with some staff and make cool friends.

it was a pretty terrible experience. only two out of like 20 staff were nice to me and treated me with at least some respect. overall it made me more insane then i already was and still gives me nightmares to this day. i tried to od so i was only supposed to go for 3 days but apparently that’s what they told everybody and some kids had been there for over 6months. some staff were violent to the kids and would grab their arms and yank them around. and if u weren’t behaving they would stick a needle in ur butt. it really drives everyone insane and all the staff do is play on their phones and yell at u. it was an awful experience.

Staff is very rude, unprofessional and unorganized. Does not keep you up to date on child's treatment or medication. Would not recommend to anyone!

so many memories of this place. Thinking back more good than bad ones . So many life experiences happened here for me. a Guys and Dolls musical( I was in the Marlon Brando role) . Some of the staff shared my interest in Star Wars and other such flights of fancy. When I graduated at age 18( I am now 33) the overflowing of friendship and care was strong . I can't really say bad things about the place because I was too young to fully understand everything going on. My own healing process notwithstanding. This place is still the setting in some of my vivid dreams. I will always have a place for it in my mind.

my experience was not that good. I cam home yesterday and im not that good. they dont give enough therapy. they also hit the kids. The place is also not clean and the staff dont are not nice. Kids cry and hit. Its not good. I made good friends there though. It kinda helped. i would choose somewhere else if i had the chance.

Awful place... all the girls here said the “n” word about 500 times and would get into fights and just curse and be outright disrespectful. The staff did nothing. My psychiatrist was just rude, asked why I would admit myself if I had a homecoming dance and was so upset about it. My clinician got mad at me for getting attitude with her when I was extremely upset, and acted as if I did something terrible. The staff can be verbally abusive to some of the more troubled patients. There’s no way you can fall asleep, the staff is EXTREMELY noisy and a lot of girls just SCREAM. Food was alright. If it wasn’t for my roommate I could NOT have gotten through this awful place. Do not recommend.
