I would rate this 0 stars but it made me at least do 1. It was the worst experience of my entire life, staff treated kids like they had no feelings and did whatever they wanted with them. I stayed for 9-10 months and I never learned anything that was beneficial. It just made me worse. The school there teaches you nothing, and I'm sorry for the people who actually went there to learn and get better cause that's not what that place does to you. I would encourage every parent and child to seriously reconsider going there. It's a very aggressive, traumatizing and dictative place. I would never recommend

I have to sayi was worried about sending my son here. My son was at another place before three rivers. He never really opened up he knew what to do to get out but once he came home he went back to his old ways After being at three rivers my son has opened up he took the program seriously with the help of the staff at three river. He seems much happier and has learned to open up with family members The staff dont just treat the kids as a paycheck they care for the kids well being. I would highly recommend three rivers

This place was a detriment to my mental health. The staff are completely unprofessional and do not protect or look out for the residents. The therapists at this facility abuse their power and treat their patients like garbage, and broke HIPAA multiple times throughout my stay. (Mr. Ryan specifically)
While I was there, a friend of mine I made at the facility was locked into a room with the two lead therapists, and was made fun of for his mental health until he was crying and begging to leave. Barely any of my therapy situations were actually about my mental health. Most of the time, all Mr. Ryan

If i could give a zero i would. My son has up until last week been fighting and damaging property. I informed them he has trends of behaving for a few weeks then act out. He was supposed to have a mental health exam and his meds are not even stabalized. They are releasing him early evem though i have 4 young children and his history. Do not waste money on this place they do nothing in providding treatment. They will be held responsible if an issue occurs

My Wife and I were completely impressed and blown away by the entire process of admission, the facility and staff at 3 Rivers. The Staff was extremely professional, gracious, and comforting. The facility was top notch, the structured program is exactly what we need for our situation. Regardless of the final outcome of the treatment, (yet to be determined) the initial process , facility, staff and program filled us with hope, ease, and knowing we made the right choice for our needs. Highly recommend
