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."
