Reviews:

As I read other reviews of this place I am just reminded of what I go through everyday still there as a daytreatment patient. The effort put into groups are a disgrace. The groups are over full where people have to sit on the floor. Needless to say, not everyone gets a chance to speak in the 45 minutes. I went to a group today where we read a PSALM. I am not Christian....it was incredibly innapropriate. The music therapist at Skyland is highly underqualified for the job. His education in music is zero, that is from his lips. In one group, the counselor said the words, I don't know what I'm doing. It's like she forgot she had to teach the group that day. But after four weeks of attending the class, I realized it was like that everytime. They might know your name there, but you are a number. If you do not fit their mold of treatment you are suggested to leave and go somewhere else. Stay away from residential treatment, the staff that work at those buildings are rude, condescending and overworked black people that are problaby being paid too little anyways. They like to take you on "outings" and then buy lots of togo things for themselves to take home with the same money that buys things for the patients. It's a very pretty facility and they will tell you things during admission that end up not being true, for example: that treatment is individual based. It's a real shame for such a potentially very beneficial program. Kudos to the staff Stacey and Libba, they are a ray of sunshine after sitting through all the other staff and classes. It's sad to see there are no positive reviews on the web of this facility, but it's the truth.

I'm going to preface this review with a disclaimer: one of the biggest if not THE biggest problems with mental health treatment in the U.S. is that simply being labeled "mentally ill" automatically throws everything you say and do under suspicion. The mentally ill are not stupid; many of us are quite lucid and brilliant, but the reasons why treatment never improves is because the people in the best position to point out the flaws the mentally ill are too often written off as being liars and exaggerators. Therefore, I understand that there might be people who will say that I'm making this stuff up, but I wasn't the only one at Skyland Trail who witnessed what was going on, and I do still keep in contact with several people I was there with who can validate everything that I say. Simply put, Skyland Trail is a mill. It is an expensive babysitting service for those declared "mentally ill" who have trust funds or really good insurance. Nothing actually goes into trying to help the clients, and ANYONE who says that Skyland Trail "helped" them was helped DESPITE being there, not BECAUSE of it. The staff turnover is so high that people didn't bother putting nameplates on their office doors. The staff at the South Residence were known to sleep during the night in the patient lounges, and often used the money that was supposed to be spent on patients for their own personal purchases. They didn't want to make two trips to places sometimes, so we sat on the floor of the van. There's not one aspect of this environment that was safe or stable ESSENTIAL for recovery and healing. If you go to the website, the first thing you'll notice is their blatant placement of links one for "admissions" and one for "donating." This should clue you in right there that they are way more interested in money than actually treating people. Though I've asked to be taken off the mailing list, my family still keeps getting mail from Skyland Trail asking for donations.
