Very nice place. Everyone from check in, admissions, counselors, supervisors and front desk were friendly and helpful. Plenty for them to do on their breaks and love that they had a wellness center and music room. They always asked for feedback in groups to see if there was something they could do better. My son was comfortable here and had nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend!
I saw a therapist here for a month for anxiety and stopped going after he pretty much implied he couldn't help me.
Their billing department are scumbags who will try to get you to pay double for services that are already paid for. They don't answer their phone ever. They don't return messages ever. They throw away any documentation sent to them in the mail and just continue sending out bills every month. They're hoping enough people aren't paying attention and pay twice (or more) for their services. It's very dishonest and unprofessional.
The experience I had was life changing and life saving. The staff is the best of the best. I was at my lowest point in my life and Prairie Ridge and it's community helped put me odd that path to get my life back and enjoy life once again. I'll be forever grateful...
I can't even begin to explain. Unprofessional place . That's best I can say for them .
I want to give a shout out to my counselor Jodi Leal. She has been a God send to my recovery. I highly recommend her services at your facility.
