In patients' words

"From the moment I arrived, I felt a shift. The nurses, techs, social workers, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners treated me like a person – not just a patient. They weren’t there to judge; they were there to keep me safe and help me get through the storm."

Anonymous patient reflection, Flagstaff Business News (via CEO of The Guidance Center)

"Just to add to other reviews here and on Google, overall this is not a good place to seek help, and I recommend very strongly that you go elsewhere."

Yelp user review via MapQuest

"The reality I and many others know is not one of steadfast care, but of harm and abandonment."
