We are forced to attend meetings even if they don't apply to us. Is a heart attack the same as diabetes? The so-called "vibe" of the place seems to depend on how much you contribute around the house. I paid to be there, and they received $3,000 for my enrollment. Don't fall for the "Be grateful" line; Claire Matrix you have have failed me. I believe these rehabs exploit the challenges of alcohol and drug addiction. However, there is hope, and it's free. I recommend reading the Big Book of AA and focusing on helping others! Godspeed to you!

I really tried not to…read more Too much money. Too much time. Too much stress. So, I tried everything else. Waiting. Meditation. Talking to friends. Blogging. Sports. Late-night gym sessions. Eating chocolate. Breathing slower. Petting puppies. Joining clubs at school. Meeting new friends. More waiting. If there's some sort of general knowledge for how to be generally happier, I tried it. But none of it worked. I didn't know what else to do other than just tough it out. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months, months into what would ultimately be three years. It was time. Time to do what I just really tried not to: seek counseling at UCLA's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Ultimately, though, I think I would have put off that decision even longer had it not been for a few friends who graciously told me their personal experiences with counseling--that it wasn't much money (even covered under insurance), that it wasn't much time (as little as an hour a week), that it wasn't stressful at all (in fact, it was relaxing). So, to them, I owe so much. And now I owe you. I owe you because if you're reading this, maybe you're thinking about making an appointment. About trying it out. Just because I wanted personal experiences when I first started, I'll give you mine. I walked in one random day after class and asked the front-desk woman what to do if I would like to make an appointment. They are always so kind here, and she wasn't an exception. She told me, though, that my appointment would be like a few weeks away. They're pretty busy here, especially around finals, so I was pretty dismayed that I had to wait that long considering every day was just absolutely terrible in my mind. Finally, the day came. Basically, you just put in some basic info on an iPad--like your BruinCard number, name, etc.--as well as fill out a quiz about some of the things you're feeling. It just gives the counselor an idea of where you might be at. Then, you wait upstairs. I was called into a room with an evaluator who asked me some basic questions (kind of like what the questionnaire asked) and then allowed me to describe why I stopped by. She then told me that CAPS would find the right fit for me in subsequent appointments; she also asked if I preferred a female or male counselor. So if you want help right away, well, you're gonna have to wait a little bit. Keep that in mind. They do have a hotline to call if you're really feeling bad, though. As another week passed by, I finally got to meet my counselor. She was very collected and calm but I could see the empathy in her eyes, the genuine interest in what I had to say. Something about a neutral party who is specifically trained in psychological services really makes for a fantastic atmosphere for being open; however, that first meeting, I didn't see that. I went back to what I thought: this is a waste. This won't work. For future appointments, I would be on the cusp of backing out; I was literally on the phone one time about to press the number to cancel--until the robot voice told me it would incur a charge for being so late. Yet, little by little, these meetings made me feel better. My counselor never lectured me or chastised me, and every single sentence she said either guided me towards my own realization or towards a general course of action. I was amazed that she didn't provide concrete advice or orders, but I still knew what to do. She connected the dots between issues I never even knew were related; I still value that knowledge to this day. I was lucky enough to really recover enough from my general sadness; while I was always functional, I now could be functional and happy at the same time. So if you're reading this and think CAPS is not gonna work, then I'll tell you this: I thought the exact same thing, and it worked for me. Give it a try. If you need more details, message me.

I've gone to this clinic for over 4 years and have seen multiple providers there. It's very…read moreapparent early on that the admin/office side of the clinic is disorganized and largely unprofessional. But unfortunately it became obvious to me that the clinic, including the executive leadership, does not prioritize or support patient health. For example, in all 4 years of going, I missed two visits - one due to a family emergency and the most recent due to the flu. Both times I notified the office in advance of the appointment and tried to cancel/reschedule the appointment but was still charged a fee (due to not giving enough advanced notice of these emergency situations). Even with this last and final time, the office, including executive leadership, refused to accept the doctor's note I provided in support of having the flu and still charged me. While their mission is to support students, their practices are more indicative of their values.

I had an intake appointment with them at 8 am to see if this place was a good fit for my daughter…read more I was a little weary, because the website said they opened at 9, but she said 8 am was the best time for them to "squeeze" us in. Since I wanted my daughter to start therapy as soon as possible, I cleared my schedule and so did my husband (he had to be at work by 9), so that we could make it. We waited until 8:11 am, no one was there. I called them and no one answered. Needless to say, I am going to find another therapist who can keep appointments.

I was very disappointed with the service that we didn't even get a chance to receive due to the lack of responses. I reached out to an open path team member cancelled my membership & was said to be getting my refund back. Which was nice . However I do wish I would've got in the service instead hopefully in the future they're more on it with their responses for their future clients.

In terms of care, I really enjoyed being a patient here. This was my first experience as a patient in PHP/IOP. I was a patient for three months, dealing with mental disorder that impaired my functioning in work, school, social life, and self-care. You are assigned an individual therapist to meet with weekly and/or a case manager. You can request to switch individual therapists if you don't feel a good enough rapport between yourself and your assigned therapist. The group therapy schedule is pretty static week to week, but there is almost always a choice between two groups, so you have some ability to "customize" your schedule. I didn't enjoy all facilitators, but I enjoyed most and learned a lot about how to manage and process my emotions/thoughts/behaviors/traumas. The psychiatric team put me on the first medication combination in my life that really worked for my specific set of symptoms. They are courteous and attentive. They remember even non-clinical details about me when we meet weekly. Mission Harbor is also much more affordable (in my opinion) than other centers offering similar care. I paid my insurance's deductible--with which Mission Harbor provided flexibility due to my personal financial hardship--and the team was diligent with handling my disability insurance claim in a timely manner. I would recommend Mission Harbor to anyone looking to seriously challenge their mental disorders and carve a path to a better way of living and thinking! I would even readmit if I felt I needed the care and support again.

I was fortunate enough to have an option at Excelsior House to build my new life. The staff faces many challenges between shift changes, varying degrees of hostility, and constant changes with health care policy ESPECIALLY NOW. But they provide a safe and very well managed program where I was able to focus on recovering and healing many deep and long standing issues in my life. The Group Sessions were very well managed and I enjoyed the plentiful resources given to those who needed additional services, such as housing, or employment, or medical services. The Staff and Administration was wonderful, I really miss some of them. Certainly there were challenges but every day we were fed, kept safe, given medications. The rooms are shared by two people and they're required to be kept clean with daily chores. The rehabilitation through structured chores pairs patients up together in teams of 2 or 3 people and each day they rotate. I certainly enjoyed cooking and found that to be my favorite. When it came to confronting personal issues, each day we were having 2 group sessions, and at least an hour and a half to research and examine what our "new lives" would be like. There would seem to be a lot of repetition but that is necessary. I felt safe and comfortable even with challenges I had with certain staff members as they were very infrequent and mostly resolved. I'm on day 35 of my new life and I couldn't have done it without being there. I miss everyone, I miss the once a day walks the staff would supervise, and working together to play games in the evening. They have 2 computers and a very nice living room to use, I would on occasion join to watch movies lol! the restrictions on moving around and going out were very challenging for me, but they were necessary. In all I have a very favorable scenario and I'll miss Courtney, Matt, Vanessa, Toya, Trebin, Shelly, and Arianna and although I may have forgotten names, there are a couple of special ladies that provided transportation for me to handle personal things that required supervision and I hope they know they're missed too!
