Drug Rehab Centers in Haverhill, Massachusetts

Obviously a psych ward stay is always a tough time, and this is one of the most intense ones I’ve ever seen, but the staff really makes or breaks a place like this. And the staff in the North unit were incredible. They were firm when they had to be, and amazingly kind and patient for the rest of it. There was never a single moment which I felt unsafe in their care. It takes a particular kind of soul to work in a place where everyone’s at their lowest, and all the staff members I met demonstrated that. I took away something from each of them that truly helped shape how I’m going to hold myself and think about things going forward. I’m grateful to have met them, that they were there to help put me back on track, and that there are selfless people like them to protect folks with mental health issues/addiction struggles when they aren’t in a position to protect themselves. I wish I could list all the staff’s names here, it just would be too long of a review if I did so. North unit folks, if you read this, I hope you know that I mean every single one of you. You all are amazing. (That said, please give Logan a forced paid vacation— I feel like I saw that man more than half the patients I was residing with.) Other psych wards I’ve stayed in have been nothing but traumatic. In contrast, I can genuinely say my stay at Haverhill has been for my greater good because of the people there (staff and patients alike). My love to you all, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A mothers NIGHTMARE! That’s what it feels like when you have a loved one dealing w/ mental illness compounded by “legal” use of THC. My adult child 23 ended up in this facility 2x. As a Social worker myself at first I was frantic, reading the reviews and 1st visit seeing that it was CO-ED. I was even skeptical about the medication protocol used for stabilizing. If you have a loved one here know that they are SAFE!!! The prescribing physician meets with and listens to the patient. The social worker listens , helps make realistic goals but not always what the patient wants to hear. My adult child made complaints , cursed out staff and family. It was so scary because I know first hand from working in a skilled nursing facility that staff are “human” and abuse by staff does and can happen. LISTEN carefully to any complaint a patient here gives. Most likely they are there against their will “at first” because they were a risk to themselves or others. It’s NOT home and the staff are there every day with people that are at their worst! My sweet child was a terror and although some of her complaints were valid concerns they were exaggerated, twisted and misunderstood. Believe me some staff can have an attitude, some staff follow protocol while others may use discretionary judgement. If you have a concern talk to a supervisor ! Ask questions! Learn about the diagnosis and most like you will come to realize the lack of COPING SKILLS is what drives the majority of negative reviews. We are fortunate enough that we could afford a more luxurious facility and have access to many other options but due to a wait list and positive feed back about this facility from highly respectable professional in the field we chose to leave our adult child here until ready. The 3 day notice in place to prevent anyone from being institutionalized unnecessarily was constantly being used by my child every time they didn’t get their way. I will say that my child was able to advocate for themselves in refusing one of the medications and knowing that in doing so they got themselves sanctioned due to threats (idle )of harming themselves or others. However after several days I finally had my child back. Without facility like this and staff that choose to work with patients suffering mental illness where would they go? Just know your loved one is safe!!! The non luxury amenities and institutional rules are made to keep everyone safe. It’s not a retreat or vacation I am Grateful and thankful to this facility in helping get my child back! Special thank you to Wendy (the supervisor) All of the front desk receptionists that are so nice. Asunta the SW and Dr. Jessica Sweet and the BHT’s that had to deal with my child 🤦🏼‍♀️ God Bless

Best place for recovery a shout out to Jess and the crew love you I was the dragon name jose it was an honor to spend my recovery here

PLEASE SAVE THIS HOSPITAL FROM BEING CLOSED. This is the only hospital where you can be seen and released within a reasonable time frame. The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I have had harrowing experiences at other hospitals. Never this one. I do wish they d clean up the waiting room a little though.

I can offer nothing but superlatives for everyone: doctors, nurses, and supporting staff. I received excellent care and can definitely give Holy Family Hospital -- Methuen (MA) -- my strongest endorsement.

Was very comforting knowing i was in very qualified hands

Place has been very helpful with treatment etc

Today I got to speak to the one person who was my safety net& advocate for the first time since I lost her.Shes the best Councilor I've ever had & I truly trust.Now she's in her office as one of the Top positions you can have without moving on. GOD help me if she was completely gone because sure enough so would I be.Christana Brown personally and professionally is one of few who truly get it.The world is blessed and so was I no matter how I ended up. Merry Christmas & God Bless all the unsung Heroes fighting a battle most can't look at.

This place saved my life

This was a life changing experience! Everyone from the clinicians, nurses, to the people in the program with me made me feel at home! I m definitely a better person mentally, emotionally, and physically compared to who I was coming into the program. Group topics were super helpful and well planned. So thank you to everyone!

Best IOP I have ever been to in my life and I've been two. Well run you actually learn something from the groups. I highly recommend.

This is an EXCELLENT place! They are compassionate, lots of good information, friendly people leading and assisting in the sessions, etc. When I was at my lowest, one of the staff sat down with me and helped me out of that dark place. All my interactions with those doing the programs or the one who I think is the 'boss' are all great people and I have heard and seen from others in my group the positive results from participating in the program. I grew up in Haverhill, and it was good to get back to it, also. I am looking forward to the rest of my time there. What a blessing when I needed it! (whether your religious or not, "blessing" is the right word for me to use)
