Treatment and healing is a very individual experience. For our family Orama has provided hope in our darkest time. Our daughter was anxious prior to arriving. Audra suggested that we FaceTime to familiarize her with the home, activities and the sweet cows (Honey and Biscuit). That helped to ease her anxiety. When we arrived our daughter was depressed, empty and visibly hurting. Stephanie, Julia, Africa and Audra warmly welcomed her. Working closely with the therapists and Dr. Knox we identified an accurate diagnosis, medication regimen and therapeutic outlets (she loves Yoga now). Their approach is very individualized in all aspects. This is what separates Orama - they care about each of these girls and their futures. I invested countless hours of research into finding the right fit for my daughter. Orama has been a game changer for my daughter and our family. read more

I was here as the 6th girl ever entering, yes they were new to everything but the amount of care and effort they put into each one of us was absolutely amazing. I have struggled a lot as a teen, I'll be 17 soon and I've been to 4 different residential and rehabs but I always turned back to my old ways, being at orama helped me in so many ways, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Dr. Knox got me on the right meds and finally balanced to feel how I should feel. I discovered so much about myself and it was so truly beautiful to experience. Chef kayla was AMAZING and the food was delicious everyday. all the nurses were so beyond sweet and caring. Mrs De'Anne (not sure if I spelled that right ) introduced me to sound bowels which I loved and actually listen to every night to help me fall asleep ! Mrs Audra was my orama Mimi and helped me on so many nights that I just needed someone to talk to. Mrs Africa, Mrs stephanie, and Mrs Julia were also so kind and helpful through my journey. All the techs were so sweet and helpful, everyday, special shoutout to Tony laila Anthony ashia Felisha David Elliott Sarah and everyone else. I've been out for over a month now and I'm doing absolutely amazing, I will be hitting my 90 days sober in 2 days ! Orama left a permanent impact on me and in the best way possible. read more

I was a patient here and the only good thing about this place were some of the staff, Asha, Tony, Laliah were the only nice people there. Doctor Knox had tried to put me onto a medication that I could NOT be on and my parents had firmly stated that I could not be on it. The nurses were somewhat nice but could not help me with some of the stuff I was going through. Doctor Knox had also not taken my homicidal ideation and past seriously, she was also constantly changing my meds. Stephanie was pretty okay for the most part and would sit and talk to me about most things but caused a lot of confusion for me and other clients there. There was also not a whole lot of communication between staff. The only bad staff was Falicia because if staff had told her something and the clients knew about it, she would act as if it never had happened and lie to us about it happening and would also say she would call the person who she had the conversation with but would stall so she wouldn't have to do it. read more
