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.

    I truly wish I could recommend The Bridge Recovery Center for people struggling with chronic…read moredepression and anxiety, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I came here after exhausting many other options--multiple medications, ketamine treatments, and years of therapy--hoping this would provide the structured, professional support I needed. Instead, I left feeling frustrated and misled. 1. Staff and Approach With a few excellent exceptions, the staff was generally underqualified and unprofessional. From day one, patients were required to sit through staff members sharing long, personal trauma stories--an hour at a time--without any actual therapeutic framework. This wasn't trauma-informed care; it was retraumatizing and distressing. Despite all the time spent listening to staff stories, there were no true group therapy sessions for patients. The facilities themselves are essentially rented townhomes. Most of the rooms have beds in the rooms where therapy sessions are held, making the environment feel unprofessional and awkward. 2. Program Structure The program was advertised as busy and comprehensive, but in reality it felt like an "adult camp." Days consisted largely of massages, light physical therapy, pool sessions labeled as "water therapy," and occasional talk therapy about 2 times a week. Provider credentials were never shared or posted, and I had little confidence in the training of many staff members. 3. Leadership and Oversight The founder, Dr. Darren, is a dermatologist--not a psychiatrist or mental health professional. While he is charismatic and well-spoken, his talks were self-focused and filled with personal anecdotes about fights, motorcycle racing (complete with slideshows of him jumping motorcycles), and his own life, rather than anything clinically helpful. He was rarely present, leaving the program without real clinical leadership. Overall Impression If you're looking for a wellness retreat or a place to be pampered and to have your days planned out for 3 weeks, you might find value here. The massages and bodywork were pleasant, and I appreciated the connections I formed with fellow participants. But for those seriously battling depression or anxiety, this facility is not equipped to provide evidence-based treatment or trauma-informed care. In my opinion, it is an expensive, lightweight operation that does not live up to its promises. One would expect alot more from a facility charging $18,000 for three weeks, that bills itself as a professional rehab center. If you are truly struggling with depression, I would recommend looking into other, more established centers. The Bridge, sadly, is not it.

    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.

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.

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.

We had to give up control of the situation. We were desperate to find her the help she needed after multiple in-patient stays and local therapy programs. I did a lot of research. Many places are very expensive. RCR is a more affordable option and provided a thorough and caring environment. Maybe some of these reviews expected their daughters to be babied. If so, this is not the right place. It's not a fancy 5-star luxury resort which is a good thing in my opinion. The girls learn to work, be responsible, and accountable. It is not a boot camp though. The therapists there were fantastic also. They have art, dance, swimming team, equine therapy, exercise and other things. Our daughter was there for 14 months and she is doing great now. It takes time for them to "buy in". You have to stick with the program to their graduation for it to work. Some girls leave early and predictably don't do well. Could I find things to complain about? Yes. I think anyone can complain about any school. The bottom line is, this facility in the middle of the desert in Arizona saved our daughters life. Communication was great with us throughout.

Randy told me I was faking my eating disorder, multiple girls were injured in unnecessary safety holds, along with a lack of proper education or qualifications for their staff. I've spent more time undoing the negative beliefs I developed about myself in the last 6 years than I expected. No need for justification on my part, they hide so much in this program from families I can only hope they are eventually shut down for Future girls' sakes. My education should not have been compromised due to a lack of educational resources as well. Cheers.

I heard more about his family business and how he loves to golf then about taking care of his patient. First off, I went into establish care. Not once did he refer me to a cardiologist, pulmonologist, or Dermatologist. I have had heart and lung surgery, so it is important that I have these physicians. I had to call back to get a name of a Dermatologist due to some spots on my legs. He said he could burn them off. He didn't burn them off before I left. A good friend of mine in the medical field said they should always be biopsied to make sure it isn't cancer. Guess what it was cancer. He should never have said he could/ would burn them off; he should have refer me to the Dermatology office. I felt like he thought he knew more and was not willing to listen to my needs. I had originally asked to be referred to a dermatologist, and he said he could handle it. Big mistake on his part. The staff at the office was wonderful. My only complaint was about the Kawika Tupuola. He needs to learn to listen to his patients and work with them not against them. Never again would I see him or recommend him.
