John Mignanelli2025-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Trails was the best gift I could’ve ever given myself. The Trails well exceeded my expectations. The clinical staff (Ben, Talya, Erin & Jen) were all outstanding clinicians. The behavioral health techs were also so supportive and helpful during my treatment. The nurses were also so professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. The facility itself was immaculately clean, prepared meals were delicious and the activities that the staff offered were enjoyable. I can not say enough good things about The Trails. I would highly recommend The Trails to a family member or friend if they were in need of help and would entrust their care in the staff. The Trails should serve as the example and the gold standard for what a treatment facility should offer and look like. I would venture to guess that there may not be another facility like The Trails in this country but other facilities should use The Trails as the blueprint!

We had tried everything, and after dealing a few horrific inpatient psych facilities we had almost lost hope. It was not like that at The Trails, my brother felt safe to heal in a calm supportive environment. The therapists and nursing staff were so attentive to her needs and really gave her the individualized care that she deserved. Our family is forever grateful Mia Meow2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Talia and Dani the techs make a huge difference around here, welcoming with warm smiles. Amber and Erin on the nursing staff are kind and definition of care givers. The environment is beautiful for this kind of setting. Although there are growing pains, It’s a facility one of a kind in the state. Literally. heaven sayers2025-02-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a nice time at the Trails. I learned quite a bit about myself and the guilt/trauma I was carrying. I felt heard by all of BHT’s, I even bonded with quite a few of them. I had already been in therapy for about 1.5 years when I entered this treatment facility, but being there allowed me the time I needed to focus on me. I was originally planning for a week not knowing it was a 30 day long plan, but ended up saying the whole 30 days because I could feel the change. I could feel everything working. I learned what I loved, I found hobbies, I made friends. The worst part was the food, I don’t eat ground turkey, and for the first two weeks I was getting a no ground turkey meal option but after two weeks they stopped bringing them so I didn’t have much to eat (thank god I can cook) . The staff overall was super nice, I felt like I had made friends in there really. You also have access to Amazon and can order toiletries or anything you may have left at home. It was a well needed break to focus on me.
