EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Tony MoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredibly compassionate team, helped my son who transparently we were not sure would ever be himself again, they communicated timeframe and discharge/aftercare wellPosted on Casper TerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went there when I was 17 in 2023 it was a good environment had awesome staff who seemed like they actually cared had good laughs and therapyPosted on Danielle DulaneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A previous derogatory review made here is inaccurate, and should be dismissed. My Mother needed geriatric care, not New Journeys, and the staff were 100% in support of her decision. They did not hold her money, they were kind, gentle, and compassionate to her unfortunate wrong placement at New Journeys. The staff worked hard to get her a plane ticket back across the country, provided her with transportation to the airport, and made arrangements with her for a fair and reasonable reimbursement. They only charged her for the services she received during her short stay. Mom said the facility was intimate, clean, and very nice. She was very thankful for the staff’s willingness to work with her in finding a more suitable placement-they even made referrals.Posted on JASON PARTRIDGETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience this was my first time getting help I’m so glad I didPosted on Teddy NamaulegTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The treatment that I received at New Journeys was incredible. The team was genuine, caring and insightful and the program gave me a new perspective on life, the tools necessary for healthy living and prepared and inspired me to continue my own personal journey.Posted on Dallas FisherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff, great house, great program. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a break to get their mental health together ❤️Posted on Nick ZervasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an amazing experience being here. All the staff took care of my needs with extreme care. I want to thank new journeys for the guidance towards a new journey of my own. I also would like to point out the fact of the matter of that they were the first mental health facility to get my medications correct and the clarity I have obtained is like putting on a pair of glasses for the first time in 20 years after not being able to see. I also want to express how awesome the staff is here. A few names I’d like to acknowledge who went above and beyond for me and my designed treatment is Brooke, Tess, Jacob and Emily. Although all the staff here was incredible those are the staff members that really made an awesome impact of my new journey. Thank you New Journeys for such an awesome treatment and for taking care of my needs to help me along my way on my New Journey 💪❤️💯Posted on Kaylie TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New Journeys was the second residential program I’ve attended. I have nothing but great things to say about New Journeys. The staff/clinical team was personable, supportive, knowledgeable and overall very helpful in my healing journey. The house was always very clean and tidy. I felt very safe and my needs were always tended to. Staff was always open to compromise on any issue or idea I had brought to their attention. Overall this program was a phenomenal experience for me and I’m beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to come here.Posted on Kelly BuckleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t thank New Journey Behavioral Health enough for the support and guidance they’ve provided. Their team has been instrumental in helping me learn how to cope with PTSD, giving me tools and strategies that have truly transformed my day-to-day life. The staff is compassionate, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable, creating a safe space where I feel heard and supported. I finally feel like I have control over my journey to healing, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful professionals at New Journey. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking help with trauma or mental health issues.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
