My first time in treatment for anorexia was at TK. I was 19, very sensitive and innocent. I did not know what I was getting myself into. I literally cried nonstop for days when I first came. I felt like nobody was taking care of me. When I first arrived none of the staff welcomed me or even acknowledged my presence. My belongings were searched without my knowledge. I didn't get all of my stuff back to me after being searched until my second night there. I was stripped naked to be "body checked" and I had never been so terr... read more

This place is terrible. The staff is incompetent and placed me on a lot of medications that I didn't need. Because I went as a minor I was unable to be heard and felt like my opinion was not valid. I had to go to a different center after. Overall, this place is terrible and I don't recommend it .

My four days at Timberline Knolls were absolutely the most traumatic of my life. I received dangerously unconcerned medical care, was misled about what the program was, and was coerced into admission. The staff are not only unkind - the majority of them are outright negligent. They will not tell you that you are in a locked facility and that every time you leave - even for a medical appointment, you're subjected to a strip search upon return. I went to the ER my first night and waited for an ambulance for 3 hours. I was told... read more

this place was horrifically filthy. I stayed for 3 months. I came home with dandruf & acne on my arms from bacteria build up; Neither of which I have never got before. The food was disgusting, I hope you like tuna noodle casserole, broccoli mac & cheese, or butchered attempts at terriyaki chicken & fried rice (which was always cold or cement hard). The food was so gross even the kitchen staff thought it was nasty. If you leave any crumbs on the table expect them to be there when you come back for your next meal. They give yo... read more

The only employees who cared about the residents were the Behavioral Health Specialists and about a handful of Group leaders. Doctors only cared about medicating you without fearing any side affects. If you had a bad reaction to new medications, you were shipped away to a local or not so local hospital. If you make one mistake at TK, they send you to RTU where you are stuck in one room with 10 other residents all day/everyday. Sad place.

Saw the bad reviews and was hoping my experience would be different. Unfortunately it was not. No communication, no feedback and she. There was they gave me 5 hours notice before discharging my daughter. I did not have time to set up and aftercare. It may be good for eating disorders but for behavioral it is not good.

Went to TK for a total of four days. Maybe since I was only there for such a short time, my review will be somewhat inaccurate. But I will tell you some truths that made me leave. I have ADHD and autism as well as an eating disorder and mood disorder. I'll tell you right now-- TK is NOT ADHD or autism friendly. I have been taking adderall for ADHD for a year and a half now. It's done wonders for me--I don't feel foggy and depersonalized all the time and I can hold a conversation. Well, despite the fact that I brought a wr... read more

Run like hell away from this place. Might be me ok for eating disorders but nothing else. Staff lies and blows you off all the time. Psych care only once per week. It's like a prison. I regret going on many levels..

Horrible experience. Staff mistreated my daughter. She slept on a couch for days and I was not notified. Zero communication between staff and with families. Would not recommended.
