GBSending my daughter to PTT was the best… Sending my daughter to PTT was the best decision that I ever made. We were at the point where we did not know what to do. Everything that we tried did not help and we are at our wits end. After doing lots of research, I came across PTT, which was exactly what I was looking for. Once I talked to Jeremy, I knew this was the right place for us. Jeremy and the staff were not only welcoming but they communicated with us every step of the way. They always made themselves available for questions And they kept us in the loop. My daughter was at PTT for 45 days and she came home a brand new person. from the time we dropped her off to the time we picked her up, it was a night and day difference; she looked and seemed a lot happier and healthier. transitioning home the first couple of weeks was a little rough but we got back into the swing of things pretty quickly. Our daughter has been home for about 5 months now and still has not reverted back into her old ways. PTT helped her deal with her issues, frustrations and feelings and showed her how to manage them. It is so nice to have our daughter back!!!!! I would highly recommend PTT to anyone that has a teen that needs help. It's obvious that it isn't just a job to all of the staff, they really care about the teens and their well-being.

GBHighly recommend! When we realized our son needed a higher level of care, residential treatment scared the hell out of us! We called several facilities across the country and became even more skeptical when learned about other programs. Most facilities were "lock-down" facilities and focused on a punitive style of therapy. We later learned how outdated this method was and decided against programs that appeared to only "warehouse" struggling kids. I couldn't understand or come to grips with this style of punitive treatment when our son had done nothing wrong, he just needed someone to understand him and learn how to cope and heal. When we made the call to Pacific Teen Treatment, Jeremy knew exactly where we were sitting and gave us hope for treatment...treatment not only our son, but for our entire family! I have been trying to come up with the words to capture the beauty and love put into the program at PTT. Our son was there for 2 months and received the best care. Each staff member from director, therapist, clinical assistant and chef contributes their unique talents and gifts to the program and the families they serve. They do so without question or judgement which is what mattered most to my son. The education we received as parents will be treasured and put to good use throughout our lifetime. We understand that there will still be bumps along the road but we feel more confident every day and we are thankful for the continued support of PTT even after discharge! It's never easy trusting someone to care for your child, even more so when your child is struggling. Confidence was established immediately at PTT which made trust that much easier! Thank you Pacific Teen! You've changed our lives for the better!

GBMental health Mental health, we take it for granted until life shows us that we can't. This is certainly the case for us and our family. After two hospitalizations in a one month span for severe depression with seeming psychosis, we were in a bad place with our young teen. We felt lost, alone and very much lacking in the skills necessary to continue to raise day to day someone who was this ill. Truly a miracle, on a whim, I reached out to Pacific Teen Treatment (PTT) and immediately felt saved. Jeremy, the company's founder, personally handled all of my initial concerns and questions as we wrestled with the very difficult decision to place our daughter in a 30 plus day residential program. He made magic happen and just days later, our daughter, lost and seemingly lacking in life light, was taken in to PTT with open, caring and expert arms. Over the next 33 days, with the astounding care of the entire PTT team including Mariana, her individual therapist and Angela, the family therapist, our sweet daughter came back to life! Needless to say, I could write pages about the wonders that is this program. How can words alone suffice what PTT has done for not only my daughter, but our entire family? The program has it all- individual daily therapy, group therapy, family therapy, therapeutic school time, all facilitated by licensed therapists. Plus, the program has 24 hour care and supervision all in a gorgeous and spacious facility that felt like an ocean paradise to this desert dweller. Along with therapy, PTT offers a licensed nutritionist who works along side their full-time chefs who prepare the most delicious, healing meals each day. The program also has clinical interns who bring a caring, yet more youthful demeanor to the center. Pacific Teen Treatment truly rescued us. From the darkness we now have light. As others have mentioned, mental health is precarious and our journey will continue to have tougher days and long nights. However, thanks to this program we are ready. We are strong. We have hope!

GBOur family will be forever grateful for… Our family will be forever grateful for the folks at Pacific Teen Treatment and what they accomplished with our daughter. Unlike the vast majority of treatment centers they stress the importance of family participation. This is an invaluable part of the program. When Jeremy Manne answered the hotline we were almost immediately put at ease and knew this is where we would take our daughter. Jeremy is one of the most caring and compassionate people I know. Only allowing 6 teens at one time is unheard of and there is a 2 to 1 ratio of therapist to teen. The staff is awesome. They are all highly trained professionals, very pleasant to work with, and most importantly, involve the teens in a variety of ways to help them absorb what they are there to learn and experience. The place is in a beautiful and comfortable setting, and the food is amazing. Our daughter learned so much about the importance of good, healthy nutrition. They are also very focused on helping with the transition when they leave. After bringing our daughter home, there were times when we had questions and needed some advice. They were very accommodating and took the time to speak with us. Our daughter even called because she knew she could ask questions and get what she needed. Our family can gladly say that we consider the folks at PTT to be friends for life. Speaking of life, they saved our daughter’s life and prepared us all for being able to communicate and support each other through life’s journey. Our daughter understands this is just the beginning and that she will never forget what she has learned. Thanks so very much to PTT! We love you guys.

GBThank you Pacific Teen Treatment When our teen son came to us with a mental health crisis, we didn't know where to turn. Thankfully, the Pacific Teen Treatment Center website caught our eye and we made the call. That was the start of an incredible journey of learning and healing for our family. The therapists, staff and other client families have been kind, respectful and accepting. As a parent, trusting the life (physical and emotional) of your child to a group of people that you don't know very well isn't easy. But, there was never a moment that we didn't feel safe and accepted. Their non-punitive approach and therapies focus on the whole person and include the whole family. Our son received wonderful guidance, tools and strategies for coping with his mental health struggles. We highly recommend Pacific Teen Treatment and are forever grateful.
