  I will preface this review by saying that I have not heard the best things about the inpatient program. Also the waiting room in the main intake/emergency (E & R) area made me feel unsafe, and needs at least one security guard watching over it in person. Those are the reasons I am not giving the facility 5 stars.
  
  The crisis prevention team were extremely helpful and courteous, and got me seen right away. I was admitted into the partial hospitalization program (and am not ashamed to admit it), so I was not inpatient. Folks who had been in the program a while or had finished it when I came in spoke very highly of it, and it was excellent. I adored my therapist in the program, Caitlin, and all of the therapists (who also acted as group facilitators) were compassionate, caring, professional, and intelligent. The program psychiatrist, Dr. Caneva, treated me with respect and dignity (people who have had a few psychs in their lives may know what I mean) and made decisive choices with my medications so that we were able to stabilize me more quickly than I'd thought plausible.
  
  At no point did I feel that I was being treated like a child or like a nutjob. I went in extremely skeptical of the "skills-based" approach to mental health, and after a month I can say this program did more for me than years of traditional talk therapy had done. Thank you to the partial staff, for everything.
