Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Spencer, IA

Nurse Megan that just helped me in a professional way. Great bedside manner. I was very pleased with the care that she provided for me.

I just had an MRI done here.. i had the best imagining techs the world could ever ask for!!! They made jokes with me cause they knew it would help, they went at my pace so i didnt panic and the one even offered to keep her hands on my legs the whole time so i knew she was there!! I wish i could remeber her name but if i ever have to have one again i will be back!! You made a very scary thing for me almost fun!!!!

I was admitted to the psychiatric hospital wing in March and long story short, this place saved my life. I was in a really bad place and had the wrong medication prescribed to me, it was so bad I went to the ER because I was thinking about hurting myself. Spencer is 5 hours away from where I live and I was terrified of going that far but I believe it was where I was meant to go. The nurses were AMAZING, the groups were extremely helpful and supportive, and the psychiatrist was kind and understanding. I was there for 4 days and felt completely safe and comfortable there. Never once did I feel judged. To the staff that took care of me, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This is my preferred VA facility. I've had no issues any time I've gone to them. Scheduling is always a breeze, and I never have any unreasonable wait times. The staff is always great to work with and they listen to my concerns and provide solutions. Referrals have also been approved without issue as well. My care team always responds as soon as possible whether I call them or message on the VA app. I highly recommend this clinic to any eligible vets nearby.

I appreciated the personalized service and care I received there. They really cared!

As with most mental health facilities, some of the practitioners are cold and uncaring while others pour their hearts into their work. One significant pro is that the rooms are private. Just be aware that the staff will constantly be checking on you if you are in your room alone. Sometimes this disrupts sleep and they will not care about leaving your door open and the light shining in. If you are coming here due to legal reasons or need to just escape the traumas of modern living, I do think that a few weeks stay has the potential to heal much. Doing the 90 day program, though, of course, is labor intensive and exhausting. The rules and regulations of the Eleva Care handbook are restrictive because they've had people violate minute rules and minutiae and get away with inappropriate behavior. Overall, staff really helped me get my head on straight and I am very grateful to have gotten back in touch with my true self and connect with inner values that I hold. If you're having severe and persistent mental illness, I do recommend this treatment facility. I found the experience of being here for a sustained length of time to be very humanizing.

Was there about 20 years ago it was the best decision I made I wish I could go back cuz I could use it now. Met a lot of good people through that program. We all go through tough times in life in a place like this really helps you just got to give it a chance. Don't give up and get help.

Was in the unity House about 20 years ago was the best decision I made and I wish I could go back.

Dr. Hillman is a wonderful doctor whom I just started seeing at Avera in Worthington. She is kind and takes time with me to figure out meds and what will work the best for me and my situation. I'm so glad to have her as my physician!

Many of the people posting negative comments are not complaining about Avera, they are complaining about a particular doctor. The trick here, as it is in every clinic in the country, is getting a doctor (what we used to call a GP I guess) that's right for you. I have Dr. Lilgaroth, she is great, so I gave 5 stars. My wife has had bad experiences in the past with so many male drs (the old "you're a woman & I'm both a man AND a doctor, so I'm gonna ignore what you say") that she finally demanded a female doctor, and that happened to work out great for her. Gender may not have been the reason, she may just have got a great dr-- the important thing is, my wife was comfortable with her. When her female dr retired, she ended up with a male dr (Dr Gunderson, I believe?) and she says he is great. Ya just gotta shop around and get a doc that is a fit for you-- that is true of any clinic, not just Avera. But I've also had pretty much all positive experiences with other parts of the clinic-- reception, labs, nurses, Avera hospitals, even the money people. (Btw, I'm not a nice guy or a pollyanna; I am by nature an extremely demanding pain in the, uh, rear.)

The reception is usually fine though I may know who the other reviews were trashing. I have seen a few therapists here and a med nurse and they've all been easy to work with.

I love the support that Prairie Ridge offers. The caring people at this place are top notch, they are always searching for new ways to improve and provide better services. I always felt comfortable and would highly recommend them.
