I was sent here from St.johnsbury Vt, hospital because I came to them suicidal. They took me even after the admin had left for the day. I was put in I believe the Tyler 2 ward. Although this particular ward had not been updated, it was still clean. The staff was exceptional. The group therapy was amazing. They always took the time to talk to everyone. We even had a music class with one of the employees that was great. It brought a lot of people out of there rooms . I was they for I believe 10 days for a mental evaluation and to keep watch because I was suicidal. They always took time to help me when I had bad days.

The Brattleboro Retreat saved my life. It is a true treasure, especially for a mental health hospital.
The bad reviews make me sad, because I think this place is misrepresented. I’ve been to bad mental health hospitals, and this is not one of them.
We got to do art, music, and have outside time.
It is such a beautiful setting right on lake with beautiful views. It was built in the 1800s as a mental health hospital, and I was told they intentionally built it at this location with all these huge windows because they know that being around nature can help heal people. It really made a difference for me being able to see the snow and nature out the window, instead of just being trapped with white walls and fluorescent lights.
The people really care. What I learned when I was there is if you’re serious and you put the work in, and you take the advice that they’re giving you, and you participate in group therapy and individual therapy, and do the work, you can get better and you can heal and you can make sure you never have to go to a mental health hospital again.
Some people would just be there and blow it off and not take it seriously and complain the whole time and not get better.
You get back what you put in, and The Brattleboro Retreat is the most beautiful and safe setting to recover and heal in.
Is a great place for people in pain an addicted to opioids they offer both methadone and Suboxone and help care for you in the best way possible. They even offer coffee and snacks on certain days. 🥨 ☕... Iv been in the program for over 10 years iv had ups and downs but if it wasn't for them I'd probably be sick or gone from this world..

Due to personnel constraints everyone there does multiple tasks & that's why they don't answer, HOWEVER leaving a message will get you a call back pretty quickly, usually an hour or so. I always leave a message & indicate if I need to speak to someone ASAP & get quicker response. Great care & they try to address any problems you may have.
Everyone at HCRS is absolutely amazing. Everyone makes me feel so welcomed, and all of the groups are great. Everything there is so helpful and I look forward to the days I go. Thank you so much everyone.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We wish you all the best of health and happiness in your recovery!
