Like the others, I wish I could give this place a zero star. I live next door to one of their…read morefacilities in San Martin. Last night, a young child ran over to our house from the street barefoot, (we have a 5 acre lot, mind you), balling their eyes out, shaking, and desperate for help. The child expressed that they ran away because they were SA'd. The child had not showered or eaten in days. The child shared more horrific details about their treatment at the facility, but I don't think it's necessary to disclose more. We took the child inside and took care of them. The sheriffs office came over to our house, but the organization did not report the child missing until 2 hours after we had called the sheriff!! There are ONLY 6 KIDS there at a time!! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN 2 HOURS TO REALIZE SOMEONE IS MISSING. Unfortunately, about 5 hour after she had been at our home, it was decided that they had to send the child back, despite the fact that the child didn't feel safe and had been SA'd. (Please note, we strongly question whether the sheriffs enacted the correct protocol regarding the SA.) We were resistant to send the child back after hearing how they were treated but there was nothing we could do because of the legal restrictions. When we walked the child back, the staff treated the child, us, and EVEN THE SHERIFF with a cold, unwelcoming, and annoyed attitude. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. This is not the first time incidents like this have happened and we fully intend to report this to CPS to investigate the facility.

Although there were decent things I could talk about this place, the bad far outweigh the good…read more There are a few things that I truly hate about this place... - the discharge process was horrible. We live out of state and embark kept giving us different dates for discharge and could not communicate to each other about getting us a correct date. I got a flight the day of her discharge because, again, they wouldn't give us a consistent date. I got there the next day and had to pay for a hotel. - they were supposed to send referrals to several day treatments in our network the day we left. Which in itself is ridiculous to wait until a kid is discharged to send a referral that usually has several weeks of a wait list. turns out, they never sent the referrals, and the ones that they were supposed to send to weren't even in our network. - I emailed several times after she was discharged to ask about the referral and never got a response other that an initial response saying they were cc'ing the therapist. With me trying to follow up on this, still no response. - there was a staff member that told my daughter that her life goes against his (the staff member) beliefs. This was not relayed to me until after her discharge. My daughter was told that the staff member was fired, which I don't believe. I am sure he was just moved to another location to continue the trauma he causes to at-risk youth.

I cannot believe they charge as much money as they do & they talk to people like they are at a medicaid community clinic.
