Mrs Monica is the best. She changed my son!!! Mr. Will was also great with parents an the kids loved him. I never want to be without my son again but glad that he came there an got better. Mrs.Chasity was also so sweet an very helpful even came out her pocket for a going away present for B.S thanks guys for giving me my son back.

Very unorganized. This facility gave my son twice the dosage of Adhd meds that he's used to receiving without me knowing. Only 25 kids at the damn place and they act like they can barely control them. They try to justify their wrong doings but I'm not having it. Make sure your child isn't African American when sending them there. I saw the lack of care and concern when it came to my son's mental health. These people literally signs my name on medical documents and thinks its ok. Its actu...

I was there when I was 15, my old therapist Gail Mullen made my stay hell, she only listened to what she wanted to hear and was rude. For anyone looking for a child behavioral place this place is not the best I recommend anywhere else. I would never send a kid or even mine if I had a kid here.

After 3 months, my relationship with my parents have never been stronger. Even today, despite myself still ...

Not gonna cap, staff there are nice and it's not all a bad place besides the kids causing problems. Though my favourite staff that was once there isn't anymore. (Mr. Marshall) Most staff only wanna see you get better and then leave. Though certain staff wanna see you fail. Mrs/ms. Peach can cook fire food.

Cannot say enough positive things about McDowell! The staff are amazing. My sons treatment plan was fabulous.

June 1st, 2025

My son learned a few new coping skills and how to start opening up to therapists.

June 1st, 2021

This place is horrible because the staff won't let you see no one in less you're 18 and above.
