My experience at Beachway was complicated. Parts of the program genuinely helped me, especially the…read moregroups. I learned skills I still use around DBT, emotional regulation, boundaries, slowing down before reacting, and recognizing dysregulation. Being away from home gave me space to focus on myself, and I made meaningful connections with other clients. I expected residential treatment to build on the work I had already done with my outpatient therapist and psychiatrist. I believe I signed releases allowing Beachway to communicate with both. However, my therapist at home was not contacted to establish background or discuss work we had already completed, and she did not receive notes from my Beachway therapists afterward. I am also unsure whether my psychiatric records were reviewed or incorporated into treatment planning. Several individual therapy assignments repeated work I had already done extensively at home. At times, treatment felt more like moving through a predetermined framework than something tailored to my history and progress. I also did not know until later that I could ask to meet with my individual therapist more than once a week. I struggled with how my initiative was sometimes interpreted. After a group on boundaries, I wrote boundaries for my family and asked another therapist to help me review them. I later felt chastised by my primary therapist for doing so and never received the individualized help I had been seeking. When I worked independently on concepts introduced in groups, I felt criticized for "controlling" my own therapeutic journey and was told this likely reflected how I showed up at home or difficulty with trust and interpersonal relationships. I understand therapy should challenge you, but I sometimes felt broad assumptions were being made rather than explored collaboratively. Communication involving my ROI also became a concern. On at least two occasions, my therapist's account of what had been said differed from what my partner told me. In one instance, my therapist attributed a statement to me that I do not remember making. When I tried to clarify these discrepancies, I did not feel they were adequately resolved, which made it harder to feel secure in the therapeutic relationship. I was also uncomfortable with the emphasis on extending treatment. At one point, I was told therapists could tell within about five minutes of meeting someone whether they needed to extend their stay. The pressure around staying longer became stressful and felt like it took time and emotional energy away from making the most of the time I could stay. After discharge, I have had difficulty reaching people, getting necessary documentation completed, and connecting with resources. At the same time, I continue to receive promotional emails for other Beachway programs and retreats, which has been disappointing when follow-up on actual care needs has been difficult. I do not regret my experience. I gained useful skills, benefited from groups, developed greater awareness of my emotional regulation, and grew during my time there. But I believe it could have been much better with stronger coordination with existing providers, more individualized treatment, clearer communication about therapy options and ROIs, and better follow-through after discharge. If you already have an established therapist or psychiatrist, I would recommend asking how they will be involved, whether prior therapeutic work will be reviewed, how often you can meet individually with your therapist, what will be shared with your ROI, and what follow-up support you can expect. I came to Beachway prepared to work hard. My biggest disappointment was feeling that some of that motivation and initiative was treated as something to correct instead of something that could have been used to create a more collaborative, individualized treatment experience.

I'm not discounting that this place may help people and I know everyone's treatment is different…read more I'm sharing my experience because I wish I had heard something like this before I went. My time at Viamar felt extremely unethical and completely opposite of how the program is displayed online. The conduct of the CEO, Michelle Klinedinst, raised serious concerns about client treatment, professionalism, and ethical standards in the program. She called me "rude, defiant, and disrespectful" in front of a group and said, word for word, "I don't even want you here, I would have kicked you out if you weren't court ordered." Later, in private, she denied saying it and told me I was displaying sociopathy. There was a moment during an intervention where I was having a full breakdown, crying and on the verge of a panic attack, and said I felt suicidal. Her response was, "there you go again, just seeking attention." I still think about that because I was not looking for attention, I was crying for help. The overall environment felt more like control than care. Group therapy felt like being ganged up on rather than supported. We sat in a circle for hours being told what we were doing wrong while struggling with EDs. We were encouraged to share opinions on others' faults. Language like "not functional adults" and "wounded children" was constant. It felt like your identity was being broken down, and questioning anything was discouraged. If you struggled outside structured exercises, it was turned into a character flaw. We were taught psychology concepts that could have been helpful, but in my experience they were used in a way that kept people compliant. It felt like the expectation was to stop being yourself and become whatever they defined as "functional." Some exercises were extremely intense and not trauma-informed. In psychodrama sessions, people screamed at others acting as figures from their past while being told to scream louder and hit objects. While that could help some, it was extremely triggering for others, especially those of us with PTSD who had no choice but to sit through it. There was group punishment for individual actions, which created a culture where patients turned on each other. I broke rules and other patients served the same consequences. I was searching other treatment centers on the TVs and texting on social media, along with discussing a crime documentary that was considered triggering. TVs were removed for everyone (my apologies). The techs, not all, but most came across as unqualified, condescending, and distrustful of clients. I had an accident and when I asked to shower, I was told, "if it's not dripping down your leg then there's nothing I can do." I then tried to access the bathroom and broke the lock, which I take accountability for, but felt the situation was mischaracterized afterward regarding blame placed on ED behaviors. The Clinical Director, Johana Aguilar, brought out AMA papers in a group setting and told people to take one and leave, including clients in fragile medical states. The Medical Director, Sophia Zaretsky, came across as unprofessional, for example, flipping me off in a meeting. The dietician, Leslie Tucci, refused my accommodations, and meal plans were hardly individualized. I chose pork and beef as foods I don't eat but was still served them regularly. The environment made my anxiety and paranoia worse. It felt like a prison. Phones, wallets, and keys were taken. Even though it was voluntary, people who tried to leave were brought back by police. Family calls were timed, monitored, and recorded. Mail was opened and read, and negative comments were not delivered. I wasn't told about a court hearing until the night before. Under the Marchman Act, I was told I had no choice but to stay or go to jail, but with legal counsel I was able to transfer. Even after a few days I didn't feel safe. I felt watched, judged, and unsupported. I went in with trauma and left with more, and it has affected my willingness to seek treatment again. If you're considering this program, please choose a different place to get help. Not every treatment environment is what it claims to be.

Don't be fooled by the water views. Viamar Eating Disorder…read moreCenter may try to sell you on the pretty scenery, but don't let that fool you--this place is a dump located in a bad area, and the care reflects it. Our son got worse while at Viamar. He was supposed to be in a safe, supportive environment--but instead, he came out more broken and discouraged than when he went in. The staff seemed indifferent, the communication was poor, and any concerns we raised were brushed aside. When we asked to pull him out, they refused to release him unless we agreed to pay. There was no compassion--just pressure and threats. It was clear their priority was not our son's health, but getting paid at all costs. To top it off, we are now being charged more than $25,000 for services that were never even provided. We've asked for explanations, but no one has been willing to discuss the outrageous and dishonest billing. It feels like a scam disguised as a treatment center. Our family feels traumatized--not just by the eating disorder, but by the damage this facility caused. Please, if you're looking for real help, stay far away from Viamar.
