I tried multiple times over two days to get ahold of my son there. The staff kept telling me I would have to talk with someone who was not available. I would leave messages with these staff, but I nev...

The worst communication out of any facility. Days go by with no one relaying important messages. No return calls. Zero care of the actual patients well being.

This place is hell. I would give them a -5 if I could. Untrained and extremely unprofessional staff. The charge nurse had no personal boundaries with patients. I was forced to stay in a room with clea...

This place is a mini prison, I brought my husband there he didn\'t get any help they just put him in a room to detox, no comfort what so ever. I wouldn\'t send my enemy there .

Horrible experience. It\'s sad because for the most part the people that work there are good people. If you have a serious medical condition do not go there. The Doctors think they know everything, an...

A family member was sent here by a local hospital for the detox program. I do believe that part of the program was effective, but I have no basis for comparison. Sadly, other mental health problems ...

My daughter was admitted to cedar hills today. The people who go to cedar hills need help so they can get better not to be given meds by irresponsible staff.

Areas of Focus
Dual Diagnosis/ Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

These two terms describe a person who is not only addicted to drugs or alcohol, but also has a mental or emotional illness, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Facilities that treat patients with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders provide psychiatric treatment in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.
