In patients' words

"Instead of finding respite, these people said, vulnerable people land in often chaotic programs — places where substance use is rampant, training and staffing are insufficient, living conditions are bleak and safety protocols are at times ignored."

San Francisco Chronicle

"The lawsuit accuses HealthRight of touting its facilities and treatment programs as safe, despite mismanagement, neglect and failing to protect patients."

Sacramento Bee

"The staff and counselors are highly compassionate toward each patient, and they are perceived as genuine individuals with the patients' wellbeing in mind."
