I was reading all the reviews on Riverside, that was called Peninsula hospital when I was admitted. I was admitted May 1986, and I have to say, looking back at it all. I hated it, I was always freaking out being inside there, and I was constantly fighting with the staff over petty things I suppose. However, this place saved my life. Period. I would have not have had the life I had if it wasn't for the hard work of the staff, and doctors that looked after me. It's heartbreaking that I see a lot of negative reviews, and only tells me one of two things. The place has gone downhill in a horrible way, or people are not working the program. I am still working the program after all these years. (not drugs or alcohol) The big thing I really learned? That just because you say you're fighting doesn't mean you are. It's an uphill battle for life.
