        Warning do not send you child here!!

        My daughter was a client here and they over promised and under delivered constantly
        They don't actually care about anything long term so they don't actually try to find out what the real problem is. They are more of a stabilization facility according to Heather the family therapist Dr Matt the director will promise the world and deliver nothing. Ask for everything in writing he refused He also provided protected information from a therapy session. Very unethical

        They will make things worse by promising " this will be the best thing ever for your child"
        And give false hope. Since they don't really care about long term goals they don't look into what the real problem is and try to solve those

        They are a short term only and their attitudes and actions reflect it Very corrupt business

        When I asked for the contact for the CEO I was given wrong information
        Be very careful. Read the reviews they are true.
        They allowed my daughter who had runaway associate with another kid that was known for running away from the facility and both of them ran away from the facility and the staff did nothing to prevent it and took no responsibility at all.
        I was told could call and get updates anytime I wanted but when I called they would give any information and wouldn't provide their name when asked who am I speaking to they would say. " staff"

        Which means they have no consequences for anything they say or do
        They are a joke.

        DO NOT send your child here if you care about their long term health, happiness and safety

        This place is awful. My sibling has been there for over 2 months and this has been the worst experience for my entire family. These people do not care about any of their patients' health. All they do is force-feed and medicate them. My sibling was recently dropped from her school due to lack of attendance and the center did absolutely nothing about it. The therapists and nurses are incompetent to say the least. It is also extremely expensive even if you have insurance. Please stay away from this place and look for other alternatives.
