After reading all this I'm afraid. My baby is there right now. Has been for 5 days! Now it all makes sense to me! OMG! I need to pick her up ASAP!

Before I rant, Let met just say that I am a 16 year old female. This is not a mental hospital. It is a prison. I am not exaggerating when I say that. I stayed here during the Summer for a week (Even though, it was only supposed to be "three days") for depression. This "hospital" made things worse compared to before I even got there. No scratch that. It made me realize how I should cherish things more. Cherish my family and nature and a pillow. Yes a pillow. The pillows that were there were literal sheets of paper. And the b... read more

This facility was such a living nightmare that just over a year later I still recall with horror the things I heard and saw there. I dove into survival mode and went with the flow to get out ASAP. I was there from Friday until Monday when a doctor finally came in and evaluated and discharged me. I actually felt like I was dropped in the middle of the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", Most of the staff were mean spirited, sarcastic and seemed to prefer to sit behind the desk and talk/laugh with each other. I did ... read more

As a former patient here, I can't say I enjoy even giving this place a star at all. I was a patient there years ago and I was honestly better off traveling any length than landing in this place. I don't know where to begin because from day one there were issues and mostly thanks to the staff and their awful attitude in this job. The first night I came it was almost 10 PM, I had no idea of this place nor ever heard of it until transportation and my first introduction was telling me to go into my room so a nurse could inspec... read more

I wish I could give this negative stars as a review. I had the worst experience of my life. I had never been in a hospital like this before, and never do I EVER want to return to another one like it! And I was only there for 4 days! I was admitted to Sonora on Monday, at 8 in the morning. First, I was left alone in a room with a desk to fill out paperwork. No one stayed to explain what I was signing, and if I had been a flight risk, I could have easily left as the door to the room had been left open as well as the exit to th... read more

First of all, they don't have counselors/doctors. I went in on a Thursday night for detox and self harming and was out Tuesday afternoon. Met with a psychiatrist twice. Never got a chance to express how I was feeling. I mean, if you're in a mental hospital, clearly there's something that needs to be addressed. Secondly, a friend of mine in there was not ready to be discharged, and told them he was still suicidal, and they made him leave. That is not okay. They just pump you full of pills and watch you color coloring pages. S... read more

What a joke. Do not send your kids here. There is zero therapy. Dr.s call in drugs for the kids without even seeing them. It's a free for all with the kids. Your child will be exposed to and hear things from kids with addiction, kids in and out of Juvy and kids with other behavioral disorders. This is not good on their psyche. My daughter was there for 4 days and received 0 treatment. The staff there look like a joke. Even the "PA" looks like she's a possible addict. Can't take anything anyone there says seriously.

I would give this place a zero star if I could. I was brought here from Oro Valley hospital that highly recommend them for depression. I was promised counseling by professionals, but all i got was medicated and group therapy run by other patients. Total waste of time. Save your money and go elsewhere.

My fiancé went here a couple weeks ago for alcohol detox. I would give it a half star if I could. It is actually worse than a prison. No one there communicates! AT ALL!! I was listed on the release of information, actually the ONLY one on it. I was never informed of a patient code. I had to drive over there & stand in the lobby to get ANY information the ENTIRE 5 days he was there, even once I had the appropriate code. If I did get any sort of info, it was always incorrect. Visitation is only 4 times a week for 30 mins. ... read more
