    The staff are so ungodly rude and ableist. I have Mutism. I am unable to speak. The staff belittled…read moreme for not being able to speak. At one point even took away my communication (any form of writing/paper). On top of this the therapists joked about me being suicidal to staff and each other. Basically treated me like garbage. I was allowed to fully starve myself to the point I required hospitalization. And even THEN it took them a full 2+ hours to get me to a hospital because they wanted me to "cooperate" with them. No fucking way am I going to. Also they strip search you when you first arrive. Taking away ALL privacy. And they joke with each other about your body and how you look. I came here in 2024 and spent a grand 6 days here. And the entire time I was mistreated, neglected, and joked about to all the staff. They also force you to do manual labor to "possibly" earn outside time. And even then it's a MAX of 15 minutes and you are basically put on a leash to be allowed outside. Completely unprofessional facility, absolutely destroyed my mental health/well being. If you are thinking of sending your child here, just know they will forever resent you and rightfully so.

    My experience at New Haven Residential Treatment Center fundamentally changed how I understand…read moretrauma, control, and institutional power. While treatment is often uncomfortable and adolescents may resist it, what I encountered at New Haven went far beyond the normal challenges of therapeutic work. New Haven was uniquely damaging. One of the most important concepts at New Haven is the level system, which is presented as a motivational and therapeutic structure. In reality, it functions as a system of control. Advancement through levels dictates whether you are allowed basic autonomy, including personal space. When you are one your first level you are followed by a staff two feet away and even watched in the bathroom. Till this day these moments I remember haunt me. I did not have any physical personal space. Until reaching Level 2, you are not even allowed to return to your room freely. This lack of privacy intensifies distress rather than supporting regulation or healing. The program emphasizes that levels are earned through growth, but in practice they are often arbitrary, inconsistent, and used to enforce compliance rather than encourage genuine progress. The system is marketed as central to treatment, yet its actual function contradicts the therapeutic values the program claims to uphold. Within the first week, residents are required to identify a so-called "core issue," a concept heavily promoted on New Haven's website as a foundation for healing. This process is rushed, poorly supported, and deeply destabilizing. I was pushed to identify my core issue before any trust or safety had been established. Being led to conclude that my core issue was "I am a burden to my family" did not lead to insight or growth; instead, it reinforced insecurity and shame. Rather than helping me challenge this belief, the environment at New Haven placed me deeper into it. Staff behavior, peer labeling, and constant surveillance made that belief feel confirmed rather than questioned. Group therapy dominated the daily schedule. After school hours (approximately 9:00-2:30), residents are required to sit in groups lasting up to two hours. There was little evidence of individualized care, and discussions frequently crossed into territory that felt more like forced confession than therapy. Physical activity was also presented as therapeutic, yet even this lacked integrity. In PE classes, effort was not required; residents could easily fake participation. Exercise is key to patients as I learned after getting out of treatment. Staffing is another serious concern. Many staff members were extremely young, often still in college, and lacked relevant clinical or medical backgrounds. They were not nurses, therapists, or trained mental health professionals, yet they were placed in positions of authority over highly vulnerable adolescents. This lack of training showed in how crises were handled. Physical restraints were used when residents attempted to run away, forcing other girls to witness traumatic events. This environment was not locked down, creating safety risks for everyone involved. Boundaries and professionalism were also inconsistent. My psychiatrist told me during my final two months that they could not help me, a statement that felt both unprofessional and abandoning. Communication with parents was tightly controlled; residents were only allpowedd to call parents on the first level for 15 minutes. There were also incidents that demonstrated a lack of accountability and safety: two girls escaped and made it all the way to Las Vegas using a staff member's car. Despite the seriousness of this event, systemic changes were not apparent. Instead of addressing root problems, the program continued to rely on restriction and control. The equine therapy program, which is advertised as healing and grounding, was another example of disconnect between image and reality. Residents were responsible for feeding and cleaning up after the horses, often in unsanitary conditions with stalls full of waste. For adolescents struggling with mental health issues, this responsibility was overwhelming rather than therapeutic. It felt more like unpaid labor than treatment. Daily life was marked by deprivation rather than care. There were no snacks available aside from fruit. When parents were scheduled to visit, residents were required to clean rooms to an extreme standard using detailed checklists, reinforcing the sense that appearances mattered more than well-being. Over time, the program made me more depressed, not less. I developed lasting trauma from the constant monitoring, lack of safety, and emotional invalidation. Perhaps most disturbing was how the environment slowly changed my sense of self. I convinced myself I loved the program because I believed it was my only path to getting better. Only after leaving did I recognize the major flaws and the ways it had distorted my thinking.

    We'll let me just start off by saying I've been to a few different treatment centers in my years on…read moreearth, and let me tell ya, Maple Mountian is the most unique and realistic one I've been to yet! The staff is super friendly, and accommodates to your therapeutic needs whether your someone who needs a little push with stepping out of your comfort or zone or a big one they're able to provide that here, plus the holistic approach to therapy is not only super effective but just really interesting/fun to engage in! Maple mountain truly changed my life for the better, so if your reading this or evening contemplating getting help, make that call, trust me you won't regret it! Love Pres Evan

    My daughter and I were very attracted to Maple Mountain Recovery and Wellness from their website…read more The integration of functional medicine was very appealing especially since my daughter has previously had mental health inpatient treatment. After several intake discussions via phone with Kris, an admissions counselor at Maple Mountain Recovery and Wellness, my daughter decided to admit to Maple Mountain Recovery and Wellness. I paid the $2200 bed deposit based on the information received during these phone calls. Within 24 hours of paying this deposit, my daughter and I travelled across the country expecting her to admit to a detox house for 3-5 days. Detox was required because of a drug she was prescribed by her psychiatrist for many years. My daughter is suffering from mental health issues. She does not have a substance abuse problem. When we arrived, and before any other information was obtained , the detox requirement changed to 5-7 days. We decided to tour Maple Mountain Recovery and Wellness before admitting to detox. While Kris from admissions was very personable, he gave us false information during our initial phone calls. He stated on these phone calls that during my daughter's stay at Maple Mountain her therapist would be physically present with her during ketamine treatment. When we toured the facility Kris told us that the therapist would see her 24 hours after therapy. Having experience in mental health treatment, this was a major setback for my daughter. Also during the tour it was discovered that male and female sections are loosely separated. Again, a major issue. We were mislead prior to the scheduled admission and decided to not admit. We didn't have a level of trust or comfortable feeling about the level of care promised. I requested a refund of my "non refundable" deposit based on the fact that we were mislead. I spent more than $2000 in last minute travel to admit to this facility which couldn't provide the services promised. While I believe Kris supported my request for refund, ownership denied my request for refund of the bed deposit. If you or a loved one are considering admission to this facility please know that it is not a facility that will do the right thing, it is very loosely run and doesn't have established therapy protocols. I speak from experience because unfortunately this would have been my daughter's fifth admission to an inpatient facility. Please be sure to tour this facility and ask very specific questions and even then know they will not do as promised nor do the right thing!! Side note: there was at least 4 open female beds at the time of our tour. Our bed deposit didn't keep anyone from admitting to their facility!!
