Essential Behavioral Health Fair Oaks

"This place was a wonderful experience for me and they helped save my life. The staff was caring, friendly and educational. The place itself was clean and allowed me to feel comfortable. I've been to many detoxes and this one really helped open my eyes. I strongly recommend."

"Horrible. My Dad contacted them around the 4th of July looking for help. They did not have any beds open at that time and was promised or reserved a bed for the 17th. He didn’t want to wait that long and the “admissions department ” said that if any openings happened before the 17th he was the first person to get a bed. Anyways no beds opened up and we made it to the 17th. Once we arrived at the detox to drop him off they said they had no beds available, refused to let him wait inside and eventually asked him to leave the property. On top of that the woman at the detox said she had beds open all week and was trying to call people. To do that to someone who wants help, who is struggling with substance abuse issues is unacceptable. This business is life or death and you can’t treat people like this. I realize that you probably have a call center handling “admissions” but that is no excuse for the major disconnect we have experienced."

"I have been for 3 times for alcohol detox. This place is amazing and does everything they need to do. They always welcome me with open arms while I fight this disease. But they really do care. Start your detox here. And if you are worried I highly recommend the residential program for 45 days. Amazing program."

"My son stayed here for one month. After one month received a pass to leave for the weekend, which he did with a former resident from there. Next time I saw my son was when I was signing paper work at the hospital to donate his organs. I wish I realized he was allowed to leave for the weekend so I could have talked to him first and told him to be careful & had one last chance to say "I love you"."

"I put my son there to begin his journey to free himself from alcohol addiction. It is a great place, professional and understanding staff, they are concerned about their patients. If you have a substance abuse and need help, I highly suggest this center."
