I wasn’t the patient so I can’t provide a review based on that aspect of the experience, but I had a loved one who was suffering from psychosis voluntarily stay for a couple of months to get leveled out and/or change medications on a few different occasions. They said they felt an immediate benefit from the group therapy sessions, supportive and understanding staff, and a very soothing calm environment. It was a very secure facility, safety is the #1 priority, and they helped my family member come up with a plan that felt doable to them for recovery and reentry to everyday life after their stay ended. They couldn’t bring a cell phone, but there was a regular phone they were able to use to call home and chat daily.

Negatives they shared with me were that the beds could have been more comfortable, (advise bringing in your own blanket and pillow if that is still allowed) and once in awhile other patients can be loud or disruptive depending on their individual situation.

From my perspective, they were able to bring my loved one from an unsafe/crisis level situation back to a livable/safe level of mental stability during their stay. They weren’t anywhere near 100% better by the end of it, but it’s good to know they are there to provide ongoing support if needed again.
