New Perspectives

When I was unable to afford getting the help I needed new perspectives was there. They treat everyone well. The therapy side of it could use more work. For me it was a safe place to get away from a bad environment and start taking my meds again. Unlike a psychiatric hospital your seen as an individual instead of someone always trying to hurt themselves or others. You can use your phone read shower draw write even cook. I stayed there for a week they even ordered food for all of us staying there one time from a steakhouse If I remember right. They really do care about your well being and they deserve more funding.

This was the greatest experience i had. The staff was personable and knowledgeable. They made me feel like I was in a support group, and helped me face my own fears. Not hospitalize and medicate!!

This place is amazing!! The staff were very helpful and professional. Very nice, warming, clean, environment where you can feel safe and get help you need. Great educational groupswhere i learned alot of good coping skills. Some one on one sesions with a case worker, nurses, and staff and they really take the time to listen and help. Great people and a great place. Highly recommended. Thank you New Perspectives for all you have done for me and other people who reach out you guys are awesome!

I would give more stars if I could. This facility should be considered the gold standard for mental health care. There is a startling lack of resources for people who need something between weekly therapy and hospitalization, and New Perspectives fits that need. I was here many times during a rough patch in my life, and I am incredibly thankful. There are staff available 24/7. There is always someone to talk to - you may have to wait twenty minutes or so if they are assisting someone else, but it sure beats waiting a week or more to talk to your regular therapist, or not getting to talk to anyone as happens in the hospital. They will connect you with a case worker if needed. They have psychiatrists on staff during weekdays to help you with medication. They have lots of resources - books, packets, videos, etc. There is group three times a day, where they teach you skills and give you tools to help manage. Most importantly, they treat you with respect!!! Too many "hospitals" frequently disregard their patients entirely, or talk down to them. New Perspectives staff give you autonomy in your care and empower you to take direction in your life. There may be a staff you don't get along with, but overall, they are incredible. They take safety seriously - there is a screening process for those who are accepted. There are other safety protocols as well. They are common sense and easy to follow. They have a system to prevent the entry of bed bugs. (I have experience in managing a camp facility where i had to develop a system to manage this issue, and New Perspectives does a phenomenal job). You can come here without worrying about bugs - which I cannot say for any hospital I have been to. The facility is very nice. It's a comfortable house, and you are allowed outside. You are allowed to use your phone, and bring some.personal belongings with you, unlike at a hospital. This is helpful - I like to journal, but hospitals often won't let you bring any books in. New Perspectives rules are not so limiting that they prevent you from using tools that you know help you. I have not been there since COVID started (it's been years), but I imagine they are handling it appropriately, given what I've seen from them in regards to other health and safety concerns. If I had the money and the know-how, I would push to implement facilities like this everywhere.
