The staff at this location are really amazing and they are all here for you at any time you need!! i met some great friends, had some memorable experiences and truly, honestly enjoyed my time here and i couldn’t be more grateful!
For lack of a better analogy, this facility utilizes Pavlovian condition reponse treatment modalities for eating disorders; and focuses on eating disorders only.
Red flags raised during our experience:
1. There was a lack of crisis intervention for our child when having anxiety issues.
2. Psychiatry does not work weekends and was not available onsite for appropriate patient assessment of medication needs and/or to adjust therapy during the admission process. We assumed this meant psychiatry was consulted remotely; but feel this was done so to the detriment of our child’s health and well-being.
3. Food was used as punishment for behavioral modification purposes on multiple occasions. During the facility tour, it was also revealed to us that the dietician is not onsite but functions remotely. Meals are prepared by patients and staff. They are not professionally prepared.
4. Vitamins were administered to our child when she did not eat, on an empty stomach, resulting in nausea; thus worsening the desire to not eat eat. So not only does our child still have eating disorder, she could not eat if she tried due to the nausea. Not eating because of the nausea resulted in more punishment.
5. Anxiety attacks were addressed by offering over-ther counter medications such as Benadryl even though nursing staff were advised it would have the opposite effect (e.g. hyperactivity). Despite this admonition, the nursing staff response was ‘can we just try it anyway?”
6. Antidepressants used for sleep were used to try to control more complicated medical conditions and remained ineffective.
No changes were made to our child’s preadmission medications to try to better manage mental health crisis during the stay.
7. Nursing staff asked us (the parents) “What has worked well in the past for anxiety that you suggest we give” in the case of worsening anxiety symptoms. Our response “Isn’t this something you should consult with your Psychiatrist about?”
8. Phone conversation with after hours nursing staff in the early morning hours the following day after admission confirmed our worse fears - (paraphrasing) - ‘we do not have the staff to be nuturing; nor do we focus on the other mental health issues - only the eating disroders’.
9. During the same early morning converstation with staff, the day after admission, we (the parents) can hear our child screaming and crying in the background in terror; while being told by the nursing staff they cannot speak with their parent(s) until the once daily phone call allowance from 7-8 pm nightly.
10. After we arrived the day after the admission to remove our child from this facility, we were contacted by nursing staff, who were unaware we’d already left for home; to inform us ‘the team’ had recommended a 72 hour hospital admission. This determination, we felt was totally in appropriate and was based more on convenience due to weekend staffing than it was based on any onsite evaluation by the psychiatrist. Indeed, our child confirmed she was not once seen by psychiatry. We’re assuming the psychiatrist would not be onsite until at least Monday of the following week (day 4 post admission).
In our humble opinion, this facility failed to provide safe and effective treatment for our child. We are actively engaged with seeking more appropriate, professional care elsewhere. We encourage other parents to do the same!
To be honest I don’t recommend this place at all, I had come from another residential in Las Vegas Nevada and I had been there for months created so many bonds with clients and staff, so as I was switched to another residential across the country, I was really sad and distraught to leave those people behind. We always woke up at 5:30 in the morning and did nothing till around 10am there was no reason at all to be waking up that early, I remember that I would just sit on the couch doing nothing till around 10am. They weren’t helpful when someone wasn’t eating, like one day I didn’t finish all of my food but finished more than 70% and they were always saying “we will send you to the mental hospital if you don’t finish your food” one day I literally had one cashew left on my plate at snack and since I didn’t finish it they made me drink a glass of ensure. It was one cashew. They aren’t helpful at all, when someone’s having a really hard time they are rude and threaten clients. When I first got there I slept for over 24 hours non stop because I was so depressed, they wouldn’t stop asking me to do this or that and it just made everything worse. I was 16 when I was there I am now 19 years old and I still would never recommend this place. The program director is especially rude. There’s good things about this place but the bad outweigh the good. There’s a lot more I could say about this place but I don’t feel like droning on forever

Accepted Insurance
Employers Health Network
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
