Savio House Reviews

My experience with Savio House was nothing but good. They helped me immensely on the tough road of sobriety and 4 years later, I'm still sober and have full custody of my son.

My family and I have worked with Savio off and on for a while. We had great experiences with Most of our therapists except for our last therapist unfortunately... When you struggle with substance abuse or have a track record from the department, be prepared to be judged right off the bat. This therapist that we had the LAST time was HORRIBLE. She was a former CPS caseworker and it showed.

One time, I was tired from working three 12 hour shifts back to back. I honestly didn t want to participate that day because I was tired to the max. **I was tired, not intoxicated** The therapist abruptly stood up and said I can t continue to work with you, when you re not sober and left. mind you: (this was family therapy, not individual therapy.) At any point did she ask me: Are you ok? , you seem tired would you like to talk outside or, I will call you later to check up on you. No, She wrongfully accused me of being under the influence when I in fact was not. She didn t even continue the session with my children. Or, try to call me the following day to explain why she did what she did. Not OK.

Furthermore, I have never dealt with a therapist pointing their finger at me, and blatantly accusing me of something without asking. Therapists are supposed to be rational, understanding, empathetic, etc. Not, Judgmental and rude.. It was very hurtful and degrading. She handled herself very unprofessionally. She should stick to being a CPS caseworker since she likes to judge, Jump to conclusions without open communication, and point fingers without facts.

Those actions, cause more trauma and hardship on families and individuals. Real therapists should know that. That s exactly what happened; More trauma and hardship because of her jumping to conclusions, and lack of communication and understanding.

Most annoyingly green therepist I have ever met ended so angry I handled everything myself I do recommend this service unless ur desperate and expect any referral for service to take forever!! All they tell you is how they aren't trained for that my therepist had to have her boss walk her thru my case voices Meeting... Rookies with book solutions no real experience ALWAYS QUESTION DENVER HUMAN SERVICES THEY WILL PLACE U WITH WHATEVER CHEAP SERVICE THEY CAN AND THEIR SUPERVISORS ARE A JOKE U HAVE RIGHTS QUESTION EVERYTHING AND SEEK ATTORNEY LEGAL AID IS FREE DHS FAILS OUR KIDS EVERYDAY LETTING THE REAL BAD MOMS GO FREE TO KEEP BEATING KIDS!

the house was ok but the fostercare was the worst thing ever. i liked the detention centers better then the fostercare.

Working here wasn't the best experience ( King St. location). Management, specially the school director Lori and the executive director Norma Aguilar, lacks of professionalism. Counselors, teachers, social workers and administrative staff are nice. Be aware of pay, vacations and holidays days; I ended referring them to Dept of Labor and Employment and won. Communication between managers and employees was nonexistent. I had Beth Humphrey as my sup and what can I say...at least she was more professional than the school director and the executive director.

Also, if you speak Spanish, and even if you are hired as bilingual staff, you won't be allowed to speak Spanish. Sadly, it was too late to report this part to the Department when I did the complaint.

Best wishes if you plan to work here.

I work at the Colorado Springs location. I absolutely love working here. It is a great, supportive environment. I appreciate the work that my team and I do everyday.

This place does not know what they are doing they just tear families apart . No matter what you say you are wrong .. ! They are out of control they make your life a living HELL. The state needs to step in and shut them DOWN

As a former employee, I do not recommend Savio s services or employment to anyone. Horrifically unprofessional and not therapeutic.
