Rock on!
I wish I could give zero stars. I was here about ten years ago. They pumped me full of meds. I must have been on a dozen different meds when I left Spring Lake Ranch. All they care about is your money. When my insurance ran out…they asked my father to pay their exorbitant fees and he basically told them off. So….boom I was determined to be well and was shipped back home. I went back on drugs soon after. Spring Lake Ranch did nothing but made me feel mimiserable about myself
My counselor was an ex nun who pumped me up on more meds whenever I disagreed with her. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It didn’t cure me. Just made me worse. But I am happy to report that I did become drug free and have been so for 10 plus years but it was not due in any way to Spring Lake Ranch.
My daughter needed a place after in-treatment and SLR provided a great place to re-enter. The facilities are magnificent and the staff cares. One must work there – as their motto is thru work you get healthy. Mental health is not an easy process, it is a process. You as a family member must also be part of the process.
Spring Lake Ranch helped me recover in the context of a community. There needs to be more accessible places of refuge like SLR for people who experience mental illness.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃❤️SLR you have given so much to me…a place to reset. The opportunity to learn how to work in a garden, a place to share my talents in the people’s kitchen. Caring for my recovery and health. Supporting my efforts with kindness, compassion and honesty. A community of healers and friends who incorporate skills without measure to live my best life. I haven’t been perfect but I have been progressing and I don’t know where I would be without you!!!
Many years ago, (the early 1970s), I was at SLR, and had a wonderful, memorable, healing experience.
The formula for healing, then, was excellent, being a grounding in work tasks, a good interaction with Nature, and a healing theraputic community.
As I live here on the West Coast, I have not visited SLR in many decades.
That said, I will mention some of what worked for me then, in hopes that the same opportunities are still available for others at SLR today.
