Here's the hussle and the game of this place. Where do I begin......it is very simple, the better the insurance the more they will write that you need treatment, they will double the dose of your medications or add all these different medications where they make YOU think ,and the insurance to think ,you are worse mentally then you are....the reason.....cash, if your an inpatient and you have good insurance benefits, they can get an easy $1000. -$1500. Per patient per day. The poor souls who have only med-cal are discharged ... read more

I was a patient there for a short time and the staff was very abrasive and at times unprofessional. They never took a moment/time to discuss the process, procedures or what to expect, which at times while detoxing, this can be VERY detrimental to ones recovery, progress or success. Some of the staff isn't even licensed or certified to provide care let alone to diagnose, treat or determine ones progress and recovery. I would NOT recommend this facility to anyone.

I don't usually write reviews, but I need to warn you about this place. This is the absolute worst psychiatric hospital. If you can, avoid staying here at all costs if you're seeking help. My friend was admitted here and her experience was traumatizing and horrific. I came here as a visitor, and the experience was like visiting someone at a prison. Visitation is one hour a day, but one time they forgot about us and we had 2 hours of visitation. The nurses in charge of the patients' care are often very hostile and abusive. Th... read more

This is the worst detox psych rehab place ever, maybe one or two nurses knew what they were doing but the rest of the staff had no clue what they were doing, being so unprofessional and giving more meds then people needed, there were seven guys who were so messed up that they couldn't even walk and they were using the phone in the lobby to order drugs This is the worst detox psych rehab place ever, maybe one or two nurses knew what they were doing but the rest of the staff had no clue what they were doing, being so unprofess... read more

i'm hearing a lot of negative reviews about this place but I'm gonna have to disagree with much of it. let's start with some basics, the food there is really good for hospital food( don't expect a 5 star gourmet meal) your at a behavioral health clinic , it's sanitary, they give you snacks through out the day, and there's a TV. As far as the groups go which are also really helpful that range from CBT, DBT, trauma, recreation , art therapy, nutrition and plenty that deal with recovery. Most of the staff there are really ther... read more

I was intaked on a 5150 basis to this hospital early January. The good news was that I could go straight there and didn't have to go to the hospital to be medically discharged. My time there was... a learning experience. There is NO talk therapy available at this facility. If you are looking to talk out your problems, you will find yourself venting to other patients and unqualified nurses who make fun of patients in front of them and behind their backs. I am lucky to have had a few patients look out for me here, but staff wi... read more

Unfortunately, or even a worse word would be used or even the worst word known in any countries dictionary is what I would say when it comes to this God forsaken facility. I recently "Voluntarily" admitted myself for treatment along with my family's support and Regret is just an overstatement for what I had gone through while my stay here. To put my long and treacherous but only 4 day experience in one sentence, its Almost illegal what this organization will do to patients seeking help. Bottom line I would never recommend ev... read more

I'd give this place negitive stars if it was possible. I was held at this place for 72 hours. I can honestly say that this place did not help me but did infact traumatize me. This place is supposed to give people the help that they need but sadly that's not the case. Every staff member there is careless and looks down upon patients. The group meetings don't help, for example: a patient would start talking about a different subject during the group meeting and the person holding the group meeting would do nothing and let them... read more
