    Havenwood was, an experience. I went there October of 2022 and stayed there until July of 2024. I…read morehave childhood trauma and mental disorders. Havenwood (sometimes) really helped with that. Some parts of it were great. I met a lot of friends and built great relationships with staff. Parts of it really helped me. I loved my therapist and really thought I was getting help. But there were a lot of horrible things going on there. Girls sexually assualtting each other, staff putting kids in illegal holds. A lot of my friends would come out of restraints (including myself) with bruises up and down their legs and arms. It was hard to sometimes watch the staff do nothing while kids were cutting themselves in the corner of there room. Staff there also need to pay attention to all the kids not just the ones they like. My friends and I would have to interfere with each others issues because the staff weren't doing anything. I miss you havenwood besties. Stay safe. And if your thinking of sending your kid here seriously think about there issues and whether or not you think there strong enough to go through some shit. Treatment is hard, sometimes we come out with more trauma.Have Fun!

    I was at Havenwood Academy from February 2022 to August 2023. When i entered Havenwood i just…read moreturned 16 and had a past with drug addiction, acting out, and mental issues. I was assigned a therapist who then left the company after getting pregnant. I got a new therapist, Kyle who is the best therapist i have ever had including now. I was scared at first because of the traumatic experiences with men in my past but he made me want to trust him. Another staff who is also the PE teacher is Ms. Lopez. I would not have been able to get through Havenwood without her. She made it easy to talk to her and i was always looking forward to seeing her everyday. I feel like the head people of Haven wood did not like seeing us get closer to our staff. Considering the staff were the ones actually talking to us and working with us everyday and the head people didn't, I obviously felt more comfortable getting closer to my staff. I got accused of sexually assaulting a girl in this treatment whose parents also reviewed which was completely determined CONSENSUAL after the other girl was the one who initiated it. I spent over a month in the bunk house because I "legally" couldn't be with any of the girls. When I got released from bunk house, i entered the 3rd house out of the 3 houses that were at Havenwood. I wasn't allowed a roommate at all because of the reasoning prior yet anyone else who sexually acted out wasn't treated this way. It especially confused me because the case was dropped after cps determined that there wasn't anything wrong. There would be fights, throwing food, and girls putting blood on the wall. we had chores everyday but the houses were yet still super dirty. One time I was laying in bed reading when my roommate next to me started cutting their arms. There was a staff in the hall way who said they couldn't do anything yet because there wasn't another staff and it was a sharp object. The same roommate, a few days later, would go on to hitting her head over and over on the wall in our room until there was blood on the wall. I asked the staff for over a week to clean the blood off the wall, they said they would but never did. At one point i asked for them to spray some bleach on a rag while i put gloves on and i cleaned the blood off the wall myself. I had an experience where a female staff gave me and another client edibles one weekend at North house and they would also hire employees that didn't fit at all. I had a staff at the ranch house who would try holding my hand and told me he loved me over and over, he then told me he was waiting for his background check to clear after asking me all of these personal questions about my life. I'm pretty sure they need to pass the background check before? Anyways he did end up getting fired after being weird with multiple girls. In the middle of my stay, a 17 year old client and a staff started having a relationship. The client was my roommate and i didn't believe her until she told me she would show me. He would enter our room late at night past lights out and they would be doing stuff in our room. One time she told me to stay awake so she could prove it to me and she sure did. The staff was already quitting and left the day after and the client graduated a few days later. We got van rides taken away after two clients were sexually acting out in the back. I was only allowed one phone call with my grandma a week, plus family therapy. One time me and a few girls got in trouble and they made us clean the whole house and do all of the chores while the rest went to equine therapy. Haven wood was definitely a life changing experience and it helped in some ways and didn't in others. Please do lots of homework before sending your child anywhere.

    I attended the June 2023 session at The Bridge, and as I write this three years later, I honestly…read moredo not know what my life would look like if I had not gone. I do not know if I would even have made it to 2024. I came to The Bridge at 21 years old for major depressive disorder, anxiety, OCD, and an eating disorder, but primarily for major depressive disorder. Depression had ruled my life for nine years. There was not a single day that I woke up without feeling overwhelming sorrow and the crushing weight that depression can place on a person. I was also dealing with severe medical issues, including chronic stomach pain and acid reflux, and doctors could not give me a clear answer as to why I was experiencing them. I arrived at The Bridge hopeful, mostly because I needed to be hopeful. I did not know how much longer I could survive living the way I had been. What I found there was unlike anything I had experienced before. It was incredible to see how they combined Eastern and Western approaches to treatment while constantly working with me individually to determine what was most effective for my specific needs. My treatment included acupuncture, EMDR, massage therapy, physical therapy, foot zoning, traditional therapy, psychiatric care, personal training and more. The range of services available was remarkable, and I was given opportunities to explore approaches I never would have considered on my own. While I was there, I was allowed to have my phone. During my stay, I dealt with arguments between family members and other issues that would have occurred in my daily life. I was able to talk with therapists about these situations and work on how to handle them in real time. One thing I still think is the most interesting part of attending The Bridge is that they did not force treatment on anyone. At least when I attended, you were encouraged to participate, but ultimately the choice was yours. If you did not want to go on the hikes, you did not have to. If you did not want to attend a group session, you did not have to. If you did not want to participate in the appointments scheduled for you that day, you did not have to. They do their part by creating a clear schedule for you each day, making you feel wanted, included, and encouraged to be there, and showing up for every scheduled activity. However, you have to make the decision to get out of bed and attend. I actually think that was one of the program's greatest strengths because it holds you accountable to yourself, which in turn builds confidence that you can show up for yourself in life outside of the program. That said, you have to want it. No treatment center can make someone get better if they are not willing to do the work. My advice is to attend everything you possibly can. You never know when a single conversation, a single piece of advice, or a single moment will change your life. For me, that moment happened during a group session near the end of my stay. Something finally clicked. For the first time in years, I felt like I had the ability to take back control of my mind and my life. I was terrified to leave The Bridge because I finally felt free, and I worried that peace of mind would disappear once I returned home. For me, it did not. The last three years have been the happiest of my life. Not because life suddenly became easy. Not because I stopped facing hardship. Not because anxiety and depression magically disappeared forever, because they didn't. I still had to fight them, but day by day, that fight became easier. I'm not saying I haven't had moments where I felt depressed again, because that would be a lie, but I have been able to guide myself through those times and move past them. The difference is that I now have the tools to manage those challenges instead of being controlled by them. I have not experienced long-term depression since attending The Bridge. I am no longer taking medication, and my doctors have officially marked my major depressive disorder as being in remission. I completed college, earning almost all A's. My attendance was nearly perfect, which was a huge accomplishment for me because I had never been someone who was particularly punctual or consistent about showing up. I work as a math teacher now. I have been able to maintain friendships because I am no longer constantly drained by my own mind. I can be social and enjoy spending time with others without feeling a heavy weight on me the entire time. In fact, I am getting married exactly three years and one day after my first day at The Bridge. If you are reading this because you are trying to decide whether to get help, please take this as your sign. Fight for yourself. Reach out. Take the chance. The team at The Bridge will do everything they can to help you, but you have to be willing to take that first step.

    While I had some positive experiences here, the overall take away 2 years later is don't waste your…read moremoney. This place has caused me additional trauma that I am still working through today. Many levers of staff are woefully undertrained and can and do cause real harm to people who are very vulnerable.

    Okay, so I wrote a seven page review of Desert Solace outlining everything, but apparently there is…read morea size restriction on Yelp. So, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Here are the last couple of paragraphs of my review. The staff are my greatest complaint when it comes to Desert Solace. What it really comes down to is that they are completely unsympathetic. Now, please understand, I was not looking to be "buddy buddy" with the staff. I mean, looking at it, I was a client at a sex addition recovery center, already self-isolated and alone. I was not expecting to be best friends with the staff. However, they were more than just emotionally removed; they were rude and unempathetic. Let's take a step back, though. Addicts are all manipulators - that's just the way it is. And, by being rude and unempathetic, they are basically immune to being manipulated, so I get why they do it. But at the same time, this behavior stems from fear, rather than acting out of love. There was a problem in the California school system with the attempted implementation of Jim Fay's Love and Logic that had roots in distanced, unfeeling interaction. When educators tried to implement the program in the schools - it didn't work. Why? Because even though the teachers were saying all of the right things, they said them without love or empathy, and that one change made the program fail. The staff at Solace say many of the right things, but they say them without love, and that makes all the difference. As far as communication with the staff goes, it is very limited and short. The staff only communicate what they absolutely have to. For instance, if I asked what was for dinner, the answer would be, "Why do you need to know?" This lack of communication also extends to aftercare from the program, as I haven't heard from a member of the staff since I got home three months ago. So, when it comes down to it, Desert Solace has a great facility and a fantastic groundwork for treating addiction. The cons would be uncaring staff and lack of professional counseling. You may have picked up from reading my feelings above that I am bitter and angry at the staff at Desert Solace. This is definitely the case. I did, however, learn things at Desert Solace that I would not have been able to learn in any other way. It may seem that I have pointed out a lot of negatives, and I am not going to lie, my experience at the Solace was the hardest thing I have ever been through. I am frankly surprised I made it through the whole program. I would never go through it again, but I came out of it a new person. Thinking about attending Desert Solace? If you truly want to change, this program does indeed have the framework to make that happen. But, whether you attend Desert Solace or not, the change has to come from you. No amount of in-house counseling, money, tears, pleading, whatever, is going to change you if you don't want to change. Have questions? Feel free to contact me.

    I spent 90 days at Desert Solace, and it very well may have been the best experience of my life…read more Difficult, yes. But I learned more about myself, my relationship with God, and my relationship with others than I ever had previously, in any other setting or experience. A couple of staff members could be tough.. they definitely did not enable us in any way...and an important part of treatment was living within the boundaries that are set there, and learning to "govern myself". Addicts don't respect boundaries, don't respect or live by expectations set by or for themselves. I was able to re-learn that principle while there. But at the same time, my experience was one of great concern, love, and respect for my struggle and recovery. My time at Desert Solace literally saved my life. The facility is great, the food was awesome, and the mix of gym time, yoga, and hiking had me in the best physical shape I'd been in in years. The therapy sessions were insightful, and I discovered my recovery to be a wonderful, and difficult, spiritual experience...which I had not expected. I treasure my time at Desert Solace as a turning point in my life, and would recommend it to anyone suffering from sex or porn addiction.

    I will have to say in all honesty that I spent much time at The Retreat at Zion as the equine…read moredirector and hypnotherapist. I read the bad review by somebody named Mandy. I don't know a Mandy and know that there was no Mandy in the program ever. Her claims about paychecks bouncing are unfounded and an outright lie. It has been my experience that Robert Beatty has been incredibly beyond instrumental in the recovery of countless people thus far and continuing to do excellent work in the field! I believe that if you're going to throw stones that it's important that you first chat with the individual that you have a grievance with. Again, this Mandy person who left a review has no relationship with Robert to my knowledge or with The Retreat at Zion. In a court of law the information would be thrown out and considered hearsay aka gossip. It's too bad that this Mandy person feels the need to strike. Perhaps she would do well more constructively painting or taking up a hobby like perhaps kickboxing? Human behavior can either be witnessed on the upside or the downside. We are told to not believe everything that we read. It is important however to investigate and to look up the credentials of the individual perhaps behind the words. Working in recovery is not the easiest line of work and much sacrifices have to be made. I have witnessed Robert Beatty continually sacrificing and giving up his time for people without so much as a dollar. If it were about the money for him, he would be pursuing one of his other entrepreneurial endeavors that actually make money. Feel free to contact me directly and not on this public forum should you need any further information.

Staff need to be consistent with keeping patient room whiteboards filled in and up to date. Facility needs to have a check system for patients followup appointments with their doctors. No excuse for anyone falling through the cracks.Excellent transport staff (Lyn you are the best). Lastly, future patients should not be rejected if admissions is unfamiliar with insurance. Every effort should be made to accommodate insured patients. Coral Desert did. This is the cherry because all the above should be normal operating procedures. Dining needs some work.

Federal minimum requirements say each resident must have 2.45 hours of care time and enough staffing to make sure each resident gets that care. in a twelve hour day and one CNA you can tell the math doesn't line up. The management is fine, however there are lots of things that need to be fixed that they ignore. Just like they ignore the fact that dementia residents run rampant putting random food in their mouths Going into other residents rooms Stealing their things Attacking the other residents and aides. The mattresses are all dirty underneath the cover. There are many nights where only 1 or 2 night shift aides come in For the entire building With a census of around 80. there are times where generally continent and "with it" residents have had accidents and have been forced to stay in their chair for hours in their own mess "Because their isn't enough time" i left a review on google reviews but it seems as if they removed it and put up their own review instead taliking about how good Redcliffs is and how great the management change was. Which in some ways has been beneficial but Ive seen redcliffs and how it's fluctuated For several years I came in passing the sacrament to my friends and members and I've seen so much I wish I could un see. I've talked to many residents and most of them are unhappy with their living situation and conditions. certain residents also pass drugs around to eachother such as methamphetamines And marijuana. Red cliffs will accept anybody and a good amount Of the residents there are just homeless with no other place to go And no real physical limitations to their everyday life. some residents are very neglected and if your family is here you need to come in and physically check on them and make sure they get the care they are supposed to and deserve. If you want to make sure your loved one is safe and healthy and cared for then please DO NOT send them here.
