My review of this is mixed. I met people that I will hold dear for a lifetime. I met counselors…read morethat changed my world and saved me. Sadly, I met some that weren't worth a lick. In a meter of five days, my primary counselor lost myself, a girl he accused of an eating disorder, another person to toting in drugs, and one that felt so alienated she couldn't be there. That's not including a couple other scenarios. Eli is not a good counselor. All of that aside, I loved Survivors. It made my world change. The amazing women(if you are reading this and we aren't I contact then please message me!) I shared that time with will forever have a place in my heart that nobody else will ever understand but us. They are a blessing in ways that no words could ever describe. I encountered a few people who fell short at the meadows that caused me to leave (I was accused of having my cell phone. Instead of properly asking, they had a male I didn't trust push searching me(my body and my bag) on me then throw a fit when I cried. Yup... Let's go after a person who suffered rape and home invasion with force. I was told they would back off only to have them come after me again. I thought I could trust, but that didn't pan out. I had my razor(contraband, but I locked it up in a safe so I could shave more easily and no risk anyone), diamond earrings, and a couple tootsie roll pops(sugar isn't allowed but potassium enriched drinks that sent a friend into kidney failure was okay) locked up. I didn't want to get into trouble. I turned in the razor and lollipop. They came at me during a peaceful meal with a friend and sent me into another nasty anxiety attack. Two in one day. I was better off before I checked in. Luckily, I'm from the Phoenix area. I called my mother and had her come for me. The person she met with tried to tell her all addicts lie and she couldn't trust me. I'm not an addict!!! I suffered severe trauma and their admissions staff billed it to my insurance as alcohol. Yes, I used to drink to help myself feel better, but that wasn't the problem. I was scared. I'm still scared, but I own my fear. I have Mike who did SET with me and Master Carl. The world isn't Co-dependent. Pia Melody wrote a book and her husband ran the place at the time. They made a lot of money. There's a lot to be thankful for from The Meadows, but there's a lot of nonsense that makes me sick. I was promised religion wouldn't be stuffed down me. I was told my diet would be respected. This is a careful choice. Stay away from Eli and the evil short haired nurse. Love Sparkly Joe and Sarah is amazing. I'm awful with names, but there's this pretty long haired gal who helped with my intake. The issue is with the higher ups and Eli. If you really need a place to go, please consider here. Just be careful. Message me. I'll tell you the truth. Everyone deserves another chance. I could ramble on for hours, but this seems to be enough. I'm pissed at how I was treated, but I was singled out from day one. My clothes were hassled and I had to have my mama being me clothes. I didn't know the dress code was online until five hours before I left even with calling and planning for weeks. I wanted the meadows to be more. I loved it, but I saw issues with Eli that were high school bully style. He felt like an outcast with the group. He saw people who instantly bonded and he wasn't l

The Meadows did not call, email or send the 20k to us to inform us of the overpayment. While my husband was going through the EOB from my insurance company, he learned of the insurance company payment. We contacted The Meadows and have been trying to acquire the 20k from them since January, 2026. We have sent all the proper paperwork, wire information, called, and written. While I was a client at The Meadows, if the insurance company didn't pay the day it was due, the patient was sent home, they rightly ensured they were getting paid. I am unsure as to why that same courtesy is not extended when it is the client that is owed the money from The Meadows who has now been paid 90k for my stay.

I hope they have been able to change and reach their potential by now. After I left willowhouse I filed a report against them, through the state of Arizona government. Several months later I received a call from the government they would investigate a case. I provided several pages/documents of explaining my traumatic experience at WH. They told me they would provide a zoom call case with me and Sabrina (the director of WH), since I live out of the state of Arizona. They really wanted me to attend in person but, living out of state made it difficult. When I joined the zoom call, which turned out to be just a phone call. Sabrina was not even present and the board told me I had a 5 minute timer to try to explain my case. When I told them I had sent everything in an email, as I was told, and told them I wasn't sure what to express since this is my first time doing this. They quickly dismissed me and asked the judge his take. He immediately said "in favor of willowhouse" then the jury all agreed with him. Then they hung up on me. I was very frustrated that it seemed that the government had already made a decision without any sort of case, no explanation, and no one from willowhouse was present during the call. The whole phone call lasted just over 4 minutes. I'm sharing this to warn anyone that if you think you will have a chance to take action, after your experience at WH, it is slim to none. As the state of Arizona seems to have some benefit in favoring on this behavior and treatment. I'm very glad I didn't fly 4 hours to Arizona for this 4 minute decision, that seemed to have been made, well before the trial. As I've said in my last review, The meadows is not one to be shamed. I have had so much success, comfort, safety and joy at The Meadows of Dallas! It was honestly SHOCKING how humiliating behavior was allowed at WH compared to all the other meadows programs and facilities. Again, it's been over a year since I have been there, but this 6 week trauma cluster costing $70k, I could've received for free under a highway. This awful time has stuck with me and still upsets me that other women and myself had this disgusting treatment. And not even one apology. One more thing. When I left WH and went to the Dallas meadows program. The director and my therapist at the Dallas location, did a zoom call with me, my mother and the Dallas IOP team and the director of WH, Sabrina. On the zoom call, I confronted the treatment I received from WH, in a very respectful manner. Sabrina even agreed the treatment I received was not appropriate. We had 5 witnesses on this zoom call to approve this statement. And yet still NO remorse or consequences or compensation was given.

The men get treated significantly better than the women, and the dress code is very outdated and ludicrous. The "doctor" is of no help whatsoever, and makes very weird, uncomfortable remarks. The process of leaving is a huge pain if you aren't going exactly where they tell you, and I felt disrespected and ignored my entire stay. The food was nasty most days, and the facility itself seemed to have no maintenance or upkeep. I'm sure the meadows campus is better, but the Claudia Black center was more like jail than a rehab.

I drove through Wickenburg today and decided to look up reviews, and honestly am disappointed but not surprised to see that the staff / management / treatment is pretty much the same! & Honestly it inspired me to share part of my experience because honestly i have shared part of my story with so many people, and its not because they were great its because their treatment methods were CRAZY. i will start out saying, going to an inpatient program saved my life i think. but i dont know if its because of rosewood.... i know someone who went to a different place after relapse shortly after and said they had a better experience OKAY here we go. So when i got admitted, i was ready to "give up" id say, so when i arrived in the afternoon and dinner came. I ate. & then when i found out especially that if you dont finish your meal you have to drink a disgusting shake that everyone that had to drink & hated and felt sick after drinking. Shortly after arriving, like a few days, a gal was put in a wheelchair. not because she needed it, because apparently she walked around too much, as they would call pacing. Another gal that i know, with a binge disorder, was given a basket with her favorite snacks to carry around for days, she could eat it whenever she wanted but she had a goal to "eat some but not too much". I saw someone else review saying the exact same thing happened to them! & Me, after a bit got accused of being a "perfect patient"? basically accusing me of faking it so i can get out. So i literally made up a lie saying i felt restless and was pacing so they gave me jingle bells to put around my ankles. I quickly regretted it because whenever i moved my legs, i jingled. Also wasnt supposed to take them off in the shower. I stuffed them in my socks once to stop the noise and got corrected... The experience that probably hit me the most was on halloween, which i was there during. they put out a few buckets of candy in the living room we all hung out in, and said take if you want its optional! I decided not to because if you have ever had an eating disorder youd get it, i dont want that. I enjoy candy all the time now. But the Dietician i remember came in that day, and demanded i eat a candy. I so desperately did not want to especially because i thought it was optional! I always ate all my meals anyways. She then made me eat it, while everyone at the dining table stared at me. I remember crying. It was a dramatic scene over a piece of candy for sure, but i was 12. There was another problem, but honestly i would rather not talk about that for everyone to see but all ill say is i already hated drinking water and still do to this day, so i dont know if they still make everyone drink a full 32 oz water bottle before each meal, but id chug it to get it over with then multiple different times had to pee after meals, but couldnt because of their rule of not being able to use it 30 mins after eating (even though they made level 1s go to the bathroom with the door basically open and someone right there if they hear u throwing up which i didnt even wanna do i just wanted potty) One last thing, even though i could probably even note more, they had a level system which went up to 3 or 4 i dont remember but as i said earlier they accused me of being "too perfect" but i somehow never went up past level 2 and they literally excluded people from activities based on level. I wanted to do Yoga dammit. Anyways, if you made it this far all ill say is continue your research when looking for ED centers.... Rosewood seems to still be giving people crazy experiences!

Clients were dropping food outside, storing it in their rooms or flushing it. I had a client tell me she was going to smack me but when I became angry, I became the villain. They were more concerned about the petty bs than actually helping us. We were all miserable. Talking to staff was met with dismissive and contentious responses. Most of them were condescending. We were not treated with respect or dignity. I was on my own from day one-I wasn't told what they expected of me or how to deal with the other clients. They ran the show-they would tell me when to sit, stand and how to do it and they were not trying to be helpful. Staff ignored it. I advocated for myself so many times, I became annoying. I had several outbursts. Staff were upset when I was lashing out but told me I needed to tolerate the cruelty from others. I hated how I was feeling and acting but when I asked to leave, knowing this was a toxic environment, I was met with lies and deception. I stay up late at night still thinking about how I failed and how they failed me. There is no way anyone gets better from being at this facility. This is a dangerous place.
