Over the years, I have struggled profoundly with many psych inpatient stays, institutes, and facilities. Over this time, for six months, I stayed at Orchard Place Campus. This, was my lowest point. I was immediately cut off from the outside world, and forced to live and share rooms with other teens with various conditions. There is little to no care when these housemates are chosen, and is only changed after extreme circumstances. Many people in my home lashed out, hurt others, hurt themselve...

Over the years, I have struggled profoundly with many psych inpatient stays, institutes, and facilities. Over this time, for six months, I stayed at Orchard Place Campus. This, was my lowest point. I was immediately cut off from the outside world, and forced to live and share rooms with other teens with various conditions. There is little to no care when these housemates are chosen, and is only changed after extreme circumstances. Many people in my home lashed out, hurt others, hurt themselves, fought staff, or screamed constantly. Through all of this, I was alone. Staff in majority did not care about the wellbeing for myself and peers, and school staff were quite similar. My experience there, is another traumatic event in the sea of many. However, these people are here to help, and there is nothing worse, than getting help, forced or not, and being turned away by the ones who are supposed to care. And, there is not much else in Iowa. This is the highest level of care, and every moment I wished and prayed that I could die. Today, I am doing very well, and I am stronger than ever. In my opinion, as a child who experienced Orchard Place, it is under great stress, that I don’t recommend treatment here.

I found out a week before my admitted date I was going to orchard place. I was at my lowest at the time and not even therapy or medication was helping. When I got to orchard place I was very insecure andi thought everyone was out to get me. It took me about a couple weeks to start to open up to my peers around me, I would cry every night cause I was homesick I missed my family and my pets so much to the point where I started getting worse.

I found out a week before my admitted date I was going to orchard place. I was at my lowest at the time and not even therapy or medication was helping. When I got to orchard place I was very insecure andi thought everyone was out to get me. It took me about a couple weeks to start to open up to my peers around me, I would cry every night cause I was homesick I missed my family and my pets so much to the point where I started getting worse. That was until I started school, there I had made a few close friends, and I loved the teachers! Over time I was doing so well I started to earn privileges and got my first discharge date. I couldnt go home to certain circumstances. So my first discharge date got taken away, that really set me back. I started doing really terrible things, and would attempt to get others to join in. I started doing a bit better so I got another discharge date. That one didn't work out either, as you can guess everything went downhill again. I was at my lowest, I was defiant, rude, just nasty. I acted that way for a couple of months. Staff would always try to sympathize with me, and bring out the best but I was defiant. That was until I started actually reaching out for help and being aware of how I affected others. I eventually got another discharge date that was taken away by my own actions. This time I started to loose hope, I thought I was never going to go home. At that Point i was put in 2 psych wards because I was so messed up to the point where I wanted to die. When I got back from the psych wards my therapist and staff helped me work through my negative urges. I started doing so good. One day in family therapy I was told I get to go home. Thistmeit was for real. (If your going to orchard place just know it's not forever, and it's worth it in the end!

As a former resident, dont listen do the bad reviews. This place helped me a lot, though I am not fully recovered, I am recovered enough from their help that I can stay clean on my own. I realised that recovery takes hard work.

Absolutely love this place for my child. They are professional and compassionate. Thus place is an option for children who have mental and behavioral problems that just can't be taken care of in the home for whatever reason. They offer schooling and program groups along with the in treatment so your child inst just sitting in a room. Everything is earned and the have other kids their age they live with.

They offer schooling and program groups along with the in treatment so your child inst just sitting in a room. Everything is earned and the have other kids their age they live with. On site nursing kitchens etc. They take kids on trips and provide extra curricular activities on campus. They have a gym work out room volleyball pit and a greenhouse. Waiting list is always long for a reason. Truly helpful for kids who need help.

I spent 4 months in orchard place at 13 and am now 18. I'm glad to report I am now happy healthy and stable but quite frankly orchard place left me worse than I started. Their treatment was not truama informed, their staff lacked basic knowledge on needs and development of kids with mental illness, and therapists blantantly ignored both mine and my families concerns. in all honesty as much as I would love to say they helped I wound up going to two more placements after this before truly getti...

The amount of trauma I have from this place is ridiculous they dislocated my arms trying to retain me I was there for over 2 and a half years and I am disgusted with the living situations they had there. Mold, and rats like seriously who can do this to their children

If you care about your child DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. Was there for 9 months when I was a sophomore in high school. Came back so far behind in school I almost didn’t graduate. I had 2 staff that actually cared about me. Because they couldn’t keep good staff. Was put on crazy amounts of lithium as a 15 year old child. Came out with more trauma on top of my existing trauma. I had trouble with isolation and for punishment they would give you “time” which was literally making you stay in ur room fo...

I had 2 staff that actually cared about me. Because they couldn’t keep good staff. Was put on crazy amounts of lithium as a 15 year old child. Came out with more trauma on top of my existing trauma. I had trouble with isolation and for punishment they would give you “time” which was literally making you stay in ur room for however long they decided. You couldn’t sleep during your time and you could only leave to go to the bathroom or shower. They did not help me work through any of the issues I came in with if anything they made it harder then threw me back into school.

As a former resident of Orchard Place (for about 8 months December 18th, 2019 - September 27th, 2020 ) I can gladly say it saved my life. I went in with extremely severe Depression, Anxiety, Drug issues, Suicidal ideations and Anger issues. I left not perfect and totally cured but I left knowing how to regulate my emotions and actually deal with them the proper way instead of doing something risky that could hurt me.

As a former resident of Orchard Place (for about 8 months December 18th, 2019 - September 27th, 2020 ) I can gladly say it saved my life. I went in with extremely severe Depression, Anxiety, Drug issues, Suicidal ideations and Anger issues. I left not perfect and totally cured but I left knowing how to regulate my emotions and actually deal with them the proper way instead of doing something risky that could hurt me.
I will not lie being there as a resident isn't the best time and it can for sure be straining but at the end of the day its worth it. I would say Orchard Place isn't for everyone however as it after all you are away from home and can for sure be scary to be there. It took me a month to actually feel okay with being there and actually start to open up which unsurprisingly is quite normal.
Along with all of this you as a resident have to be willing to put in the effort and work to actually change. They wont do it for you. You have to do it yourself with guided help
I stayed in Unit 4 of Bright house which is towards the back end side of the campus. I was a student of Mr. Kox (who I hope is still there) who was genuinely one of the best teachers I have had in my life time. Might I add that the schooling there at Orchard Place is so much better then normal schools given it gives you that pace you actually need and its actually fun and enjoyable.
There are not many cons to Orchard Place other then your fellow residents given they are there for probably the same reason you are. The staff are great and genuinely care about you and your well being. The Therapist and Psychiatrist work with you on your medication and keep you in the loop and make sure all is well. The only real con is the Beds and the Sleep Routine but that's more because I like real comfy beds and only sleep about 4-5 hours and wake up at 4:30am everyday for work.
As of now I'm 20 years old, with a job I love, a person who loves and cares for me, and can function normally and would not at all be where I am today without my time at Orchard Place.
From the bottom of my heart a huge thank you to everybody in Bright House Unit 4 Team, The Orchard Place Staff, and Orchard Place School System.
