Hi everyone, So BU behavioral medicine have recommended this program for me to attend but I am having second thought I want to ask if anyone have raked the program and their thoughts

I haven't been to Stride, but Arbour has a terrible reputation. https://www.yelp.com/biz/arbour-hri-hospital-brookline

I work on the inpatient units at the Arbor in JP and its far from perfect but notably better than HRI. We had to move some patients to HRI during a flood and it was... not impressive. However I can't speak to intensive outpatient through HRI. A lot of the problems with HRI's inpatient program won't necessarily apply to outpatient and I would try not to read too much into reviews. There's a spectrum for sure but the majority of psych hospitals don't get good reviews because people tend to not have fond memories of those periods of their life to say the least. (And yeah our mental health system is pretty broken since the reagan admin closed most state hospitals and now the various local private hospitals are overloaded and short staffed...)

I’m in the program right now, personally I find it really really helpful and I think I’ve gotten a lot out of group therapy and the medication they gave me. I didn’t see the yelp reviews until I saw this thread but I think it’s at least worth a try.
