This place was terrible... Rats in the main areas for the children, the staff treated them terribly, cursing and yelling at them the room conditions was also just as bad, the only thing clean was the floors and that's only because the janitors cleaned them mold in the bedrooms and the bathrooms, the staff didn't really care for them and with small harmless little thing they got punished terribly.. Locked in their rooms losing simple restrictions this place wouldn't be somewhere you would want your kids to go to get better, it would only make them feel worst the food wasn't terrible but everything else was PLEASE DONT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE!!
I went there years ago because I struggled with depression and self harmed. This place is awful. They locked me up in the 3rd floor with a bunch of kids with anger problems, gang members, bipolar people and treated all of us like trash. Aside from that, they forcefully made me take a bunch of different medications I knew nothing about. They fed me JUNK FOOD and made me gain 20 lbs in 5 weeks because I couldn't do any physical activity and the pills were affecting me. I would constantly cry there because it was filthy, the people there were rude, some if my room mates were insane and dangerous and it was just a negative environment all that together. I am now 20 years old and my advice to a parent is: TAKE THEM ANYWHERE BUT THERE! This place won't help your kid and either they'll stay the same or worsen. Its all business and neglect there.
