Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program - San Jacinto

"I'd give zero stars if i could. On 2 separate occasions we found dead rats in the swimming pools. There are roaches. Some staff are unprofessional and gossip about patients. Special shoutouts to everyone's favorite staff: Ms.Sunshine/Donna, Marina (redhead), Ms.Shanae from LA , (Not Connor),WE ALL LOVE MS.ALINA SHE IS THE BEST GOD BLESS THAT WOMAN!"

"Having had the pleasure of collaborating with Discovery Mood & Anxiety as a therapist facilitating an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), I can confidently say that this facility exceeds expectations in every aspect. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you're greeted by a beautiful and inviting setting that immediately puts clients at ease. What sets Discovery apart from other residential programs is the level of trust it instills in both clients and professionals. The environment fosters a sense of safety and security, allowing individuals to fully engage in their treatment journey without fear or hesitation. This level of trust is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the staff, who go above and beyond to create a supportive and empowering atmosphere. I must also commend Shawntae, the referral contact at Discovery, for her unwavering dedication and passion for helping individuals access the resources they need to improve their mental health. Shawntae's caring and compassionate approach ensure that every client receives the personalized support and guidance they deserve, making the referral process seamless and stress-free."

"DO NOT GO TO SAN JACINTO. Here is the san jacinto experience. I have been to a discovery residential in the past and i had an amazing experience, i came here expecting structure, cleanliness, and a safe environment to work on myself and recover in. The fact that this residential is under discovery’s company appalled me. This residential literally sent me into fight or flight for the first 4 days. I left after 5 days It was so horrid. It was so unstructured and we just sat around all day, it was all just downtime. The way I preoccupied myself was pacing back and forth, crying, and journaling. And the way patients treated each other and the staff was crazy. There was endless talk about drugs, profanity, cursing, and so many other insanely inappropriate topics and no one even batted an eye. I left knowing about so so so many more drugs and ways to get them just by being there, not even engaged in conversation. People touched and roughhoused with one another and people touched me a lot and didn't think anything of it which i was very surprised by. There was tons of bullying and cliques among patients and people were so judgemental, it was like highschool but with more drugs. There was a guy that was 2 months away from turning 18 hitting on a 15 year old, the same guy called a 13 year old ugly for no reason, the patients could do and act however they wanted with no consequence or redirection. They let people comment and judge the way others ate and what they were eating, and they didnt do anything to treat eating disorders at all as they stated. The meal tickets from the dietician weren't taken seriously, for example in the mornings for the specialty items they never gave those to you. It was dirty there was mildew in the bathrooms and was just filthy overall, with broken furniture as well. The kids rooms had clothes thrown all over the place, and there were tons of bugs. The whole thing was a mess and super disorganized, and the groups were so unproductive, there was 0 psychoeducation and sometimes we just watched a disney movie for all of the groups. We would just sit and discuss like a process group but they didn't teach us anything. Even some of the staff were disgusted with the way the facility was ran, patients have to give 10,000% to get anything out of this place while the program give them 2%, and most people don't have 10,000%. It's unacceptable and unhealthy. It was a miserable 5 days i spent there. The staff were extremely lax and did not monitor the patients hardly at all and let the patients run things, a lot of them just didn't seem to care at all. I was so stressed out in that environment, and all the other patients were complaining it wasn't helping them and they wanted to be taught more and have better groups. It was sad and hard to watch people get that kind of care. There was an autistic kid having a hard time with a treatment goal and the staff told them “your making it harder than it is!(frustrated)”. The place was a joke and out of control."

"As an interventionist I’ve had nothing but great outcomes with the adolescents that have gone through here for treatment. I’ve witnessed complete change in behavior, better attendance in school, relapse prevention tools….. 3 kids (now adults) that I’ve heard from recently that are doing outstanding! I love that the families, patients and therapists work together on an aftercare plan that includes a behavior contract. I love that every patient is sent home with a plan that includes intensive outpatient and therapy. Every time my staff and I drop off an adolescent we love how comforting and welcoming the staff at Discovery are. Big shout out to am awesome program!!"
