Hello Phyllis, We are happy to hear we have met your expectations during your visit with us, and we thank you for entrusting us with your health care needs. Kindly, Rose
I attended the Intensive Outpatient program (IOP) for 5 months. It was literally life changing. I learned skills to better my life and gained the support I needed through peers and group facilitators. Groups provided CBT, DBT, and art therapy. My favorite was often processing groups - I would share about my life and hear about others . It truly helped me learn and relate to others - a connection so important in today s world. Each staff member valued me, my well being, and overall happiness each day. They consistently supported me and my struggles, while also celebrating my success with the most genuine pride. The consistent kindness was so refreshing and felt genuine. Staff members would greet me with smiles every single day. They really wanted the best for me, and treated me as an individual - honoring the fact that I am a unique person with unique needs. They made me feel loved and cared for when many people in my life have not. They were always open to feedback and took direct action whenever needed - whether that be choosing groups to attend or providing meals that fit my nutritional needs. Thank you SO MUCH API!

Thank you for sharing your review. We appreciate the feedback!
We transferred my father to this treatment center and I was absolutely impressed with the amount of detail and time they put into getting to know him and all the issues he is having. His history and making it very family-centered with his care. A three-day comprehensive in-processing. Never found a place like it, definitely a gem as far as residential psychiatric treatment center goes. They go the extra mile. Thanks!
