If you are searching for a place that offers intensive mental health treatment for your adolescent and you are not as concerned with substance abuse, this is NOT the place for you!!! They will tell you that it is the right fit but your child will soon realize that they are in the wrong setting!!! I was looking for an intensive outpatient program and was willing to travel the 1.5 hours to come as often as needed! (There is no adolescent program available in the Triad) They said they would provide individual, family and group therapy. I asked if they had any sort of pamphlet or printout explaining the program as well as schedule and it was made clear that they offer no documentation whatsoever. This caused a lot of miscommunication/misunderstanding and disorganization!! When my daughter was upset about being in a substance abuse program, the director said she did not have to attend group. WHY would I drive 3 hours round trip to receive individual and family therapy?!? I COULD get that locally! I did find a place and if you are searching for an intensive adolescent outpatient program, call HOPE SERVICES! It is not far from Sigma and offers so many therapeutic options! Their group meetings are to receive information and not share info between children. (Unlike the one group meeting at strategic where my daughter learned how to make a drink out of hand sanitizer!!!! Seriously?!? ) Anyway, please note that my rating is based on mental health and not substance abuse. I have no opinion either way about their SA program.
