In February 2018 I was admitted into Partial Hospitalization Program of Peachford hospital due to major depression and extreme anxiety caused my my work and family situation. I stayed in the program for 3 weeks. The counselor in charge of my group was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The rest of the counselors were not very qualified. The doctor was just ok. I needed to have a psychiatrist after being discharged. He offered his services, but he was never available in his office, and I had to see his PA, who was extremely nice. After I got out of the PHP, I lost my job, my insurance and my income. I had a big copay. To my great disappointment Peachford hospital neither would work with me on payments, nor offer me a application for financial assistance. Their answer was: " You had insurance when you were in the hospital!" I was making payments every month, but not to their demands. They sent my account to collections. This is the first time in my life my account was sent to collections. I have never missed a single payment or was late on a single payment in my life before. The collection agency they are using is ruthless and they charge interest on my debt. They ruined my perfect credit score.
After I lost my job, my husband's caregiver got sick and I had to return back home to take care of him. He is a disabled veteran and requires care 24/7. I am not able to have a job due to his condition and and due to the fact that there are no job available in my field in the area we live.
I am making payments every month on my debt, but it seems not getting any smaller and my credit is ruined. Very disappointing. I would not recommend Peachford hospital to anybody!

Update: 12/14/ 2019 Contacted Peachford Hospital as they suggested in response to my review. Will update my review as soon as something changes!
