Specialized Treatment Facility 14426 James Bond Road, Gulfport, MS 39503

"This facility has made impressive changes to our sons life. I cant believe it took so long to find such a valuable facility for our son."

"Job itself is not bad, but management is horrible. The “lead techs” are very lazy and don’t do nothing but Tell techs what to do, even when we are short handed. Used to work here and didn’t like the way they began treating employees. Supervisors are no help, so it’s like the lead techs and shift supervisors get paid for nothing. Lead tech on my shift walked off the pod all night, never did paperwork and enjoyed bossing people but never properly trained them. If they get new management this place would be better. Treat employees like slaves. Staff are messy"

"This place was ok when I first started in 2017 but after a year of it I was done.It wasn't the residents,it was the staff.The resident living supervisor on B shift show favoritism towards the MHATT.If you're not one of her favorites and put a request in for days off you might as well forget cause it happened to me four times.There were techs just had been there less than six months putting in to be off and she approved their time so after my last request I put in and had been there for a year and it wasn't approved I resigned from STF.Just couldn't deal with the pettiness anymore.I miss the residents but I will never go back to STF...."

"I was transferred from hell called MS State hospital to here in October of 2009. My stay lasted until June of 2010. I walked I and thought this place was going to be like the rest. I was wrong. This place saved my life. The third shift were loud and obnoxious and a few of the first and second shift staff were, in my opnion, not meant to be there. The therapist, phychiatrist, "the board", and everything else was different. Most of the people there would go out of there way to help you. The one on one time, walking around outside talking to a trusted staff member, the nurses were amazing and patient, especially Nurse Scott. They helped me obtain my GED. If this place is still the same as is was when I was there, I would HIGHLY recommend this place. I wish they had an adult facility because I need the care this place gave me as a teenager. Plus the food was decent too. They made the place feel somewhat like a home than just a facility, which made treatment easier."
