Misty M.

I was at a very low point in my life when I went to new journeys. I had lost myself in life between kids and grandkids. I didn’t know where I fit in life, I had to dig deep to find myself and learn what brings me peace, and at new journeys I was able to find me with the help of staff and peers. I will definitely choose them again if I ever lose sight of myself again.

My experience with New Journeys Behavioral Health in Orange County was one of the highest-quality mental health programs I’ve ever attended. I’ve struggled with major depression my entire life, and in most programs I felt like just a number. The 6-bed setting at New Journeys was exactly what I needed—individualized, focused care that helped me uncover long-standing trauma and truly move forward in my life.
I couldn’t be more thankful and grateful for the person who answered the phone and for the clinicians at the facility. They made all the difference.

Incredibly compassionate team, helped my son who transparently we were not sure would ever be himself again, they communicated timeframe and discharge/aftercare well

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 therapy

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.

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 💪❤️💯

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.
