I really don't want to give them stars. I went there 2years ago. They discharged me unsuccessfully, and moved me to a step down. One of the staff YaYa said I wasn't ready, back then I didn't agree. I just wanted to go home. I had to go to another facility in Utah again, but this place was much more better. Shout out to Copper Hills.
After several years of trying to help our child we finally sent her to Provo Canyon School. For us it was the best decision we ever made. I am so sad to see that the majority of reviews here are people responding to the recent press instead of people who have actually been enrolled here.
The staff were wonderful, kind and still continue to support us. I am aware that there are facilities which could definitely use some examination, but I have never felt that way about Provo Canyon. My daughter never complained of any mistreatment and, in fact, was sad to leave her friends, therapist and staff. We actually went back 5 months after her discharge for a visit.
Please consider the damage done by second and third hand reviews of this school. You may cost wonderful people, who had NOTHING to do with the trauma caused in the past, their
livelihood.
***update- I have seen a couple of reviews which have accused me of being paid or posting a secondhand review since I wasn t the actual patient and I wanted to assure you that I have not received any compensation for my review and my child was upset that my comments were being questioned.
This was the third residential facility that my daughter lived in. We reside in Virginia and needed a location that was not limited to the DBT model of therapy. She blossomed under their more spontaneous therapeutic model and was able to receive treatment in an significantly more individualized approach. She has not needed to return to residential since being there because she received more meaningful results.
I understand that some previous patients had bad experiences, and we have had some at other locations, but this facility is currently not even remotely the monster it is being made out to be. Everyone is there for a reason, so perhaps that should be considered when reading the patient reviews.
Sick Evil Place! Do NOT send your child here. Different forms of Abuse and other wicked things go down in this facility. They need to SHUT DOWN.
If I could rate 0 I would... It is not okay for the staff to put their hands on these children! It is ridiculous how you guys claim to believe this is helpful when in all reality your breaking people and this shouldn't happen. #SAVETHECHILDREN.
terrible. although I did not go to this treatment. facility, I went to another one close by that was just as bad. my friends. who were patients here said they were emotionally abused here. dont send your kid here and have your. KID write a review, not their parents- they havent endured the trauma.
Amy Gerber can we hear from your child please? Your own review is 2nd hand! Even if somehow all you say is true and all your child has nothing but happy memories, how is it ok as a parent, infact as a human being to just discount all those who report abuse at this school?
I'm convinced Amy Gerber is getting paid to write reviews. You have multiple on here. Even if I were to give you the benefit of the doubt that your kid came out great - almost none don't or you don't care about the mountain of outing on this facility. I don't event need to speak on my experience because there's so much you can find on YouTube already.
I encourage anyone to look up how much it costs per day to send a child to a lockdown treatment center. Also, because PCS calls themselves a school they don't have the same liabilities as a real RTC.
Love,
A 31 year old ex 402 PCS survivor
I m sorry to those that have experienced the same things all of us who attended have been put through. My self esteem, trust issues, self harm, suicidal ideation, runaway attempts, mental trauma, and anxiety and depression all got worse. I was here from March of 2019 to November of 2020. This is where people lock away their kids so they don t have to fix the problems they created. Please just try to understand.
I was there from September 2011 to August 2012. I have never felt so disconnected from who I was. They cut off ALL of your clothes and put you in a cement room that was freezing and left you there for hours. I couldnt wait to get to class or therapy just to escape the treatment. It felt like a prison. You weren't allowed to sleep during the day. Wanting alone time was punished because you were self isolating. And the list goes on. After a while I numbed myself and set my brain to default. I have never been the same since I left. I have ZERO trust that anyone has my best interest at heart and I spend as much time alone as I can.
I went here for 9 months and was released about 7 or 9 months ago. To anyone who may remember me from there my name was Kat. This folks at this place are NOT here to help you. Even worse I went there when I was 12, so young. To anyone who cares, I am now 14 and a half and have a better life.
