Drug Rehab Centers in Doylestown, Pennsylvania

I wanted to put this review out for those scared and anxious parents who will have their child come in Foundations for the first time. My son was admitted to this hospital a month ago. He is high functioning, and very kind and sweet when he is in his calm state. However, he would have explosive meltdowns when he gets overwhelmed probably once every 2-3 months. The only thing that we haven't tried yet was to do the in-patient program. We had enough support. We have our Care Manager, psychiatrist, school support, teachers and therapists in other schools, a lot. All of them said that we were doing the right thing. So we gave it a go. It was traumatizing for him and us for sure. From CHOP, we were taken there by an ambulance. Once we arrived there, we were asked to wait. It was 9:15 pm when we arrived. We were able to talk to someone by 12:00 am. There was no information disclosed to us (what will happen, what would it be like, etc). I had to ask the techs picking him up questions. That was the only time I got some info. I really hope they have a system in place to inform parents about the whole process.By 1:00, he finally got in. We had to say our most painful goodbyes.The next days were tough. We got to talk to him every night. He would call us. He told us that it was too loud over there, that there were kids bullying, stealing, and even getting "possessed by the devil". At the beginning, my son said that he couldn't shower because the techs would say "it will take a while" or "we only shower once a week". My son is also rigid with toothbrushing. He asked for a toothbrush but he said the techs would say they run out. Every night I would cry, but some nurses would do a check in for me. His counselor was fairly nice. The doctor seemed to be knowledgeable. But i do have to say that if you don't call consistently, they will not pay attention. His school is so supportive that they will also do check ins themselves. I think Foundations saw that we were serious so they would give feedback all the time. My suggestion is to call all the time. Don't get tired of it. You have that right!Overall, I could say that Foundations was fairly okay. I think any behavioral health hospital won't be perfect. You will not get 5 star reviews. It will not be a vacation. It will be scary. However, you can do what you need to do as a parent. A good behavioral health center should be giving you honest feedback, calling you for information, asking questions about your child, and letting you know what the medical plan is. Foundations was able to give most of that to us. That's why I'm giving them 4 stars. They also gave me good payment plan for the fees. Foundations is a highly recommended hospital by top special ed schools and care managers. If this is your first time, have faith. Keep on calling everyday. Demand for info all the time. Ask for the names of each person you talk to. Good luck!

I have not had any issues with LVF at all since I started therapy a couple months ago. I adore my therapist, and during our sessions, I have learned about other resources available to me if I choose to explore them, like a social worker. I take care of an elderly parent and it's overwhelming sometimes. So far, I'm very happy with my care at Lenape.

Aldie is the absolute best place I have ever received treatment. They saved my life. Thank you Aldie, for giving me another chance

My review is specifically for Melissa Straker. She is a professional provider, but is also easy to talk to. It is difficult to find a provider that you feel understands you and can help you with mental health matters in a casual comfortable way. With her help, I was able to move past a traumatic experience. However, I look forward to our ongoing sessions as if I were meeting up with a friend to catch up on life.
