I am the parent of an adolescent patient. Please note that a LOT of the reviews on this page are from patients involuntarily held at the facility for a brief period, and should not be used to judge how this place actually works. Their views are skewed by the understandable frustration that comes from being on a temporary involuntary hold for their own safety and the safety of others.
I worked here as a nursing student intern many years ago, and also brought my daughter here for both inpatient and outpatient treatment, after two stints at CHCO in Aurora failed her. The care and counseling in this facility are AWESOME. They got her out of inpatient in 5 days, and into the outpatient 3-day-a-week program immediately after. Her suicidal ideations have vanished. Her self-confidence and self-esteem have soared. Her meds were updated. The afternoon DBT and CBT group therapies have been incredibly helpful in her fighting against unhelpful thoughts and discussing strategies with her peers to better tolerate stressors and adversity in her life and relationships. She is emerging from the programs far, far better off than she was before. She is no longer drowning in a swamp of depression and suicidal thoughts. Our lovely daughter is back.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend and appreciate Highlands Behavioral Health. Thanks for listening
