In patients' words
"Unfortunately, I feel that potential patients should avoid the psychiatry staff here... 'Dehumanizing' would be the most apt term to use, followed closely by 'Deeply Concerning' and 'Highly Frustrating'."
— Rehab.com review of Drug and Alcohol Services Johnson Avenue"There continue to be gaps in the local mental health system — particularly in regard to staffing at the agency and a lack of inpatient psychiatric services for children and the elderly."
