Let me start out by saying that there are different stages of treatment at FHE. The first one is residential, which is meant to stabilize you. It drove me a little bit crazy because I felt like I was locked down. However the staff there, especially Tammy, do an exceptional job and go above and beyond to make the best of your stay. The reason I am only giving one star is the next stage(php). I am currently staying in the 6 story apartments, which is where you stay when you are in PHP,IOP,and OP. Some of the techs here do a great job at trying their best to meet your needs,despite having close to a 1 to 20 tech to client ratio. But most are unapproachable, confrontational, and just straight up rude(especially corrin and jessi).They act like correctional officers instead of counselors. It sets an extremely negative vibe for the whole facility, and I am definitely not the only one here who thinks this. I understand that their jobs are stressful but taking their anger out on clients is definitely not the solution. Me and other clients that are currently here have gotten comments such as "that's not my problem" and "well I've got better things to do". I will most definitely be going to IOP elsewhere. It's a shame because the therapy groups and medical staff have actually helped me in ways that many other facilities have not been able to. But the living situation is far from the bare minimum, and makes it extremely difficult for me to continue making progress.
Also, this is a repost because FHE recently took a bunch of reviews(including mine) off its page.
