Honestly, as a patient (14 at the time) I had a really positive experience. It s been around 2 1/2 years since I ve actually stayed, but I remember my stay like it was yesterday. I went in November of 2022 and I was there for 2 weeks. The unit I stayed in had really friendly staff, of course some were strict because they had to enforce rules. I think I was at the northwest unit, I didn t personally experience any fights while I was there but I heard of fights happening frequently in other units. They made extra care to make sure you don t feel like you re alone and things will get better. The separation from normal society is actually what I needed, I couldn t handle every day life, hence needing to stay at kidspeace. I actually made a few friends while I was in there which made it a lot more enjoyable. I started a medication (Zoloft, 25mg), which was just to give me a start to recovery, I knew I wouldn t actually feel the effects until around a month after. A common misconception is that you don t get a choice, medication was completely up to me and I wanted to start. They handled when you took the medication as well as when you ate and the activities you did, having others in control of my schedule made me feel at ease. It was a safe environment, we had fun activities such as making cheesecake, making slime, occasionally watching tv, seasonal crafts, and group therapy exercises. The sunsets were actually incredible there, I wish I had a phone to take pictures of it. I personally had my birthday while I was there, they made sure to make me feel like I was still being celebrated and cared for. They got me an ice cream cake and everyone made cards for me, I still cherish the cards to this day as a reminder of what got me here to this day. I cant speak for everyone, but kidspeace really did have a key role in my road to recovery, helping me build a routine, socialize, and start me on a medication. Mental hospitals aren t an immediate solution, they are just a step forward. After returning home, I noticed I had intrusive thoughts much less and that I was no longer having panic attacks every day. Recently, I started struggling with the same paranoia and panic again since my stay. I will always remember how much kidspeace helped me and I know that if I ever need a safe space to regain normal function and get back a normal routine, that I can put my trust in kidspeace like I did then. Thank you kidspeace for helping me when I was at my lowest <3 -Gabrielle Sanders now 16 years old

I stayed there for 10 days and it wasn t bad at all. Yea some kids had some issues and would have tantrums or breakdown but that s just what happens with people like. I was at the bottom level I forgot what it was called but all the kids in there welcomed me and weren t rude at all. I actually liked being there with them and yes ofc some workers or gonna get annoyed but trust me if I had to deal with that all day then I would be too . Overall being there helped me get better.

The best i could describe my experience is meh. I did get my treatment plan but to be honest at times it felt like a prison. The first day i was here i saw a group of students trying to break down a door with someone presumably inside. I also had to sleep on a hard mat on the floor until a room was available for me to sleep in. But i did meet some friends that helped me through it. But some of the workers there were rude and snotty and it seemed like they didn't really care. Again my experience was middle of the road. I went in the beginning of October, 2023 at the age of 14. Shoutout to the friends i made tho.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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.

Programs

lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I normally don t post reviews but I wanted to help another parent who was just as scared as I was. My kid was admitted a couple weeks ago and when I saw the reviews on this place I was scared on how this facility will treat my kid. The hospital gave me a few options to choose a facility on where I wanted my child to go to but everyone I looked at had a 3 star review or lower. I was emotional because my child was never in a place like this and I just wanted to make sure my child wasn t going to be mistreated. I eventually picked kids peace, and it was the best thing I ever did for my child. As soon as my child arrived to the facility I received an email from the staff that she had arrived safely. We were allowed 3 calls a day for only 5 min. They worked with me and her father who worked different shifts to be able to talk to her at least 6 times a day. 3 calls each. When speaking with my child she was fed and said she staff were really nice and she actually had gotten close to alot of the staff. My child was talking to her therapist a couple times a day and she said that helped her a lot. My child mentioned she was able to talk to other kids going through similar situations and that was very helpful to talk about it with someone her age who can relate. Anytime I had a question I would call and someone always picked up the phone and helped me out. I am happy that I took the nurse advice at the hospital when she said alot of kid s preferred kids peace and others like other facilities but they are all nice facilities and she said if I chose kids peace she would be in good hands. Even though my child was only there for a week I was very pleased on how well they took care of her. When they started her release papers the staff continued to make sure if she was ok to go home. I appreciate the staff for everything they did. I hope this review helps the next parent feel a little bit as ease.

this place is a very enjoyable stay, i thiught of it as a hotel, the staff are nice as long as you dont have favoritism, but personally the best unit there is northwest , and the best staff i think are probably Miss T, Mr Edgar, Mr Brandon (purple hair, not bald.) And Miss Kiki. but honestly its not worth ur life to go, it gets mad boring and you'll probably regret ur choice .

My son was discharged after one year of residency, and I am very pleased with all the staff that helped him to achieve the improvement he needed. Of course there were some bumps here and there, but it's part of life and it helps us to make better choices. Thank you all!

This facility likes to hire Patient Care Techs that neglect their own children. Higher up staff is well aware of this, too. I can only imagine how awful this place is, I would look for care elsewhere.

My daughter was here back in February. It was honestly one of the worst experiences we have had. I didn't get a call from anyone for days. Then they claimed they had the wrong number. I wrote my phone number. We went for one family session, which honestly was a joke. We legitimately got nothing accomplished. We ask about another family session. The lady was like umm we can do next week. I was like, ok. I then got a call that she was being discharged. She had no help what so ever. There are so many children, so many people with mental health issues. And not enough help. It is so heartbreaking.

I was sent here when I was 14; My mom was an alcoholic who was with an alcoholic, and decided to force admit me rather than have her and her boyfriend take accountability for what they did.I went to college for 7 years; in a security field, only to find out 20 years later, I could never have any of the jobs I wanted, because this eliminates me from eligibility for any security clearance.In addition, I lost all of my rights to firearms, and a variety of Civil Rights, when I have never committed a crime, never acted violently, nor done anything beyond juvenile mischief against the rules of society.I would love to know, how you think someone who is 14 years old, can consent to medical treatment, and has a capacity to make that kind of decision, especially when confused about what was going on, betrayed, and ripped from their home.The nurses refused to tell me the medication I was taken, threatened to put me on watch; and one of the orderly's was manhandling one of the girls the entire time I was there.You deserve to have this review up to know that your company drastically decreased my quality of life, and the solution was for me to get out of my abusive parents house, and into a new one, which alleviated the majority of my issues.You made me less able to parent my children, you made me less able to protect my family, your existence protected my abusers, your existence lowered my ability to financially earn, your existence dynamited my college degree that I worked hard for, and had to work 60-80 hour weeks in a factory sweatshop to pay back.Now I'm spending money I don't have trying to get my rights back.Your organization was disgusting; and I pray you got better over the years.
