Shut this place down or do a complete overhaul. Staff arent trained properly. While some may feel helped by the program, an unignorable amount have only had their issues exasperated by the program. I was sedated via injection and forced to come here for 9 months and am no better and if anything worse off for it. You're essentally forced to admit you have a problem and submit to authority here, what a terrible mentality to push. Psychological manipulation. To any kids trapped here, if you see this run away 2-3 times and insurance will be forced to drop you and you'll be let out.
If I could I wouldn't give it any stars I wish they would send someone under cover to see what is really going on I was there for a year and spent 6 months in my room with an hour outside couldn't speak to anyone but my therapist and that's not even the beginning these children are being abused over and over and over again when they're suppose to be being helped please for the children's safty and successful future get inside and really find out how this facility is being ran
This place screwed me up more than it helped me. I left with more mental issues than when I got there.
Ive been there and the place sucks , there was a lot of abuse and unessary touching... the staff were untrained adults , i was put in to holds and i had my shoulders dislocated twice because they didnt know how to do their job... this place only made my problems worse !
PLEASE DONT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE IT NOT GOOD!
As a 14 year old i was not a good child i hated things thats just how i was. I was sent here went to Bordeaux a dorm for boys 13 to 16. I hated it i was there for a reson. But once i figure out what was right and wrong. I stared to like i there mad friends. The staff there are not your frinds but they will help you if you need help. I personally spent a year and ahalf there i didnt wana leave personal resons. I saw over 10 kids graduate and 4 staff leave. It take as long as you want it to take.
