I loved the therapists and group leaders, however the director was more interested in blaming patients, and adamant that the patients were ungrateful because of “all of the things provided to us that we didn’t pay for.” (My bill says otherwise.) Her lack of accountability and lack of desire to help those in mental crisis was a weekly negative impact to those in care.

Additionally, the nurse practitioner was not well suited to mental health and was frequently rude or cruel to patients during my time there.

Over all, though the therapy I received was top notch, I would never recommend a loved one to Blue Hills while the nurse and director are employed.

I went to Blue hills for drug treatment and basically received very little. The way it works you have individuals who are there for drug abiuse as there primary diagnosis and others for mental health as there primary diagnosis. This all basically means your treatment is supposed to be tailored based on this primary diagnosis hence you will have what’s called a substance abuse track and a mental health track. Well when I was there I was on the substance abuse track along with about 4or 5 others but there was about double or triple that amount on the mental health track and so us substance abuse people were basically lumped in with the mental health track and barely given substance abuse treatment at all even though that was our primary diagnosis and the reason we came to blue hills. When I asked about this I was basically told “Well we don’t have enough staff to run the substance...

My experience here has been one lie after another. I was told I would be here for seven days for mental health. When I get here, they go over all the paperwork so fast, never giving you the chance to read everything. I am now stuck here for 30 weekdays, because weekends don't count. If you try to AMA, they retain your belongings for 72 hours. You are also responsible for your airfare home. I would recommend going to your local hospital before coming here. I failed to mention there is no psychiatrist on staff. So if you need a medication change, a PCP is the only medical professional on staff. You see your therapist once a week. Since housing is free, this is considered an outpatient facility, they do not need to get prior authorization from your insurance company. Which means they can get by with being out of network with your insurance and not tell you.
