Honest to god, this program is horrible. My best friend jeremy andrews killed himself at this placement, and i can only assume why. This placement has had a horrible toll on my mental health as a growing kid, and their pictures they have on their website now is NOT what they look like. The hallways reek of shit almost 24/7 (mostly being because the bathrooms reek.) The kids here are aggresive, and are not kind. They only seem that way to staff to avoid getting in trouble. Your son/daughter will only be able to go home after 2 months IF they phase up which is a low possibility since they are shellshocked about them getting placed there. In all of MLA they are very FEW kids that have every succesfully made it out of the program phase wise. If your a parent, do NOT send your kid to this program. It is traumatizing. I was fought multiple times at this placement because the kids there have anger issues. People AWOL there all the time. I've seen a kid awol multiple times out his window. Ive seen people get cops called on them for AWOL'ing. I didnt start cutting untill i went here. this place has messed with my brain in ways i would never understand. There are very FEW staff here that are actually sweet, without having to yell at you. (Stiles and Kristian, if your reading this i love you guys <3) People have overdosed here.. and it just creates a more sneaky kid. All i can say about this place is, is that just looks okay on the outside but is horrible on the inside.
