I went here as a teenager from 2013-2014. Sending your teen to a residential treatment center far away from home will not fix the core issues at home. My experience here was a mix of negative and positive, but there was a lot of victim blaming mentality that didn t get to the root of my issues. Get your teen a therapist that they like and trust and get a family therapist, try from home in the environment that they will be in long-term. I wish my parents would have done that for me instead. Being sent away was way more trauma than what it was worth and I believe that Sunrise didn t help me, if anything if traumatized me more. Additionally when I was experiencing gender dysphoria I was mocked by staff. This place is not LGBTQ+ friendly and it s wrong that they list themselves as being so.

Also, whoever is responding to these reviews you re coming off as very dismissive either denying previous girls claims or saying I m sorry you feel that way . Especially since there is no way for us to publicly respond besides editing the previous review.

Last thing I want to add is that like others have said the main people leaving good reviews are previous staff which seems wrong because it s not like they were the ones that were sent here.
