I’m very thankful for the staff at Youth Care. Our son’s therapist and his other counselors were fantastic. Everyone we dealt with was caring and very professional. They challenged our son just enough and knew when and how to encourage him and to push him just the right amount. If it wasn’t for Youth Care, the chances are great that our son would have overdosed or be in jail by now.

As a parent, I highly recommend Youth Care. We were involved in all aspects of my child’s treatment plan, the staff provided a safe and friendly environment, we enjoyed parent day participation and, most importantly, the therapy my child received while at Youth Care was exceptional – pretty much life-changing. My child made more progress there than had been made in 10+ years of therapy elsewhere.

Now I can sleep at night. My son is safe and finally moving forward after three other residential facilities and weekly therapies of all kinds – for years – in three different countries.

I have nothing but good things to say about Youth Care. From enrollment personal, the staff, doctors, activity coordinator and Therapist! I was apprehensive to send my son away, I knew he needed help I wasn’t able to give him. I was also exhausted with all the lying, stealing, drugs, alcohol and police. Youth Care provided a safe place for my son to face his addiction and learn the coping skills to help himself.

I chose to come here myself. Through the level system here, I was able to make it to level 5 (the highest level) by my last day. I’ve been to the behavioral health pavilion of the hospital 6 times, and none of those times were even close to as helpful to me as Youth Care. I’m extremely grateful to have such a place. Thank you for everything.
