It was a great program for my child. She has progressed little by little. It was a rough start but with time she began to show improvement. Therapy was useful. The discharge process was smooth.

I spent almost 3 months here. It was an okay stay, environment could've been more supportive, staff wise. Some of the other patients would case issues to get a rise out of others, and certain staff wouldn't do much to help. I was told by staff on many occasions that my body is "too attractive to be wearing clothing like that around male staff" (I was wearing the clothing palm shores APPROVED for me to wear, leggings). There was blatantly obvious favoritism, which made myself, and many others on unit feel unappreciated. I feel when you're in a facility like this, there shouldn't be favoritism, whatsoever. I did meet some incredible people in there (both staff and patients). I was doing amazing while I was within the facility. Just remember that, they are here to help GUIDE you to make better decisions and choices. They have no control of you after you leave the facility, it's up to you what choices you make afterwards. Once you leave, and you're back outside the facility, it may be difficult or hard to adjust, but you're the only person who can stop yourself from going back to your old behaviors. I will forever appreciate and remember PSBHC. You guys did collectively help me change and evolve as a person, and I really admire that. I do hope I never have to step foot back into that facility, or even near it. But some of the memories I made while I was receiving treatment was amazing. All of the stories, tips, and love from people that're trying to better themselves is amazing. It's nice to have a decent amount of support while away from home for so long. Thank you!! - Violet , Atlantis Unit

This didnt help me at all i came out if there myself but it helped with coping but the staff there was sucking mostly miss pam bc all she done all day was nag at you and yell at you. And she was hitting on all the men and touching all on the staff i would never take my child there
