I cannot recommend this facility highly enough.The staff are kind and attentive. And they will feed you well. The facility is very clean. The groups are always educational and fun.Dr. Wilson is fantastic and really listens.
Helpful in dealing with episodes
omg, My son is there :'(
horrible
the food wasnt bad ;/
Nuts running the nut house. Should have a zero star option, Google. 🙂
I’ll keep this short and sweet….take your business elsewhere
Like others have said, communication between doctors, staff, and family is completely horrible.
It’s Arizona, I expected the kind of treatment since I was visiting from Texas. Prob worse than the ghetto.
They helped me get a handle on my depression and suicidal thoughts.
Have caring and supportive nurses in the “back” part of your treatment hospital.
My friend went there for 5 days when he got back he told me and showed me he got stiches on his lip. 1 star place sucks.
This place is a joke…. they will torture and tranquilize your child.
Was sexually assaulted, and nothing was done. Don’t send your family here. This is coming from a 14 year old. They don’t know what they’re doing there.
I was treated less than a human being. Terrible energy and the place was extremely dirty. Really inhuman.
It’s a terrible place to send you children people my wife was sent there because CPS couldn’t find placement for her when she was younger and she was told she had all these problems this place scared her for life ….
We had good communication between us and the staff. No parking but on the side if the road.
This place was something different i was here for about a week ive seen and heard things and i have to say this place was amazing the staff was very nice and helpful i dont think i would have made it in there without their amazing staff. Thank you guys for helping me.
this place is so horrible, i went 2 years ago and the edges of the mirror were sharp, there was mold in the showers and they didn’t check on us at night
Best “vacation resort” ….. I go in broken and come out whole again…… they were all there for me….. most of us patients can’t see it for a while…. trust me …. I have done in patient by request
Loved it 10 out of 10 would go again food amazing beds separated art room like what else would you want cortyard lik fam it was lik 10 feet long but was gud
So far so good, secretary could smile more. I get work sucks but I’ll peoplet don’t need a grumpy mcgrumperson.
If I could give 0, I would.
They did not treat my son. They said he was dine after 4 days. He has to go longterm inpatient elsewhere because he is worse now than he was.
Usually see Tyler but he wasn’t there this time. Go check him out and tell him I sent you. Does good skin fades.
They release the patients as soon as possible and never do anything for them but make things worse.
Disgraceful place, do not send your loved ones here if they need help. The staff are terrible people who don’t care about helping anyone.
Go to another city if you must.
Lack of communication and does not listen to patients needs.
What Kind Of A Place Is This ??? They don’t even answer phone on one number after 10 rings, or internet main number after 20 rings. How am I supposed to get a hold of my friend in that place ??? So, I call again at 11:50 AM and this time …
their food was nasty and i only made one friend there its a she and i first got there it was a very scary experience and i got there by midnight and at the crc it was much more scarier i saw two fights start and of course i did not like …
I can’t give ZERO STARS SO I HAD TO GIVE 1. This place is absolutely HORRIBLE. Our 9 yr old son went there, he’s autistic and has some other mental health issues. The staff there are lazy, incompetent and uncaring. All three combined make …
I want to thank the tremendous IOP staff for helping me reclaim my life. The therapists taught me how to manage my addiction and I will be forever in their debt. Thanks for literally saving my life.
Head nurse Rob is amazing!! He really helped my son during this difficult time as well as communicate to me his strengths and stress areas!!
I have been here twice now now this can work for some or might not work things to expect when admitted the staff will show you around show you where your bed is at then your pretty much on your own with a bunch of people you dont know and …
Where to begin. First of all the mission statement does not correlate to what you will experience at this facility. The mission statement states: “blah, blah, blah.” But in reality, it’s all about the bottom line–AKA $$. I worked here …
It was everything I needed. Very friendly and informed staff. I met some wonderful people even if we were on the sickly side. Good laughs and honest tears. Facing things to hard to do alone. Made me feel like I am a special person. Only one like me!
My stay at Sonora Behaviorl Health was excellent and the staff was in good standards and attended to the patient’s with good care.
Thank you to the staff that attended my care..
Both the Hospital and Outpatient programs have helped me immensely. Far better than the CRC, Palo Verde or Mountain View. Programs both for mental health and substance abuse. Would highly recommend for those needing help.
They steal you things and not do anything about it.
Interesting that staff working here are now starting to post positive reviews in order to counteract the legitimate (and often negative) ones that patients post….Mine from a year ago “mysteriously” disappeared….
I was a patient here 4 years ago as an adolescent. My records contained false information because someone misunderstood what I said, and I was ignored and victim-blamed by the psychiatrist. The food is barely edible. Don’t send your kids here.
This place needs investigated. My 10 year old was here them knowing this was Nuro did NOTHING! I am filing complaints. Disorganized, my daughter didn’t get her own clothing till 4 days later, ran NO testing and NEVER had answers. If you …
I will say that if you suffer from depression, PTSD, trauma of any sort, Dr. Wilson is your man. He and his team will go the extra mile to save you and your family from much grief. I Cannot recommend this facility more highly.
If I could give Zero I would. No communication and when you try, no one calls back. Daughter doesn’t know her case worker or anyone supposedly helping her. I will be filing a complaint with insurance for them to investigate practices and falsely providing services!
I spent 2 weeks there & it would’ve been less if the nurse had paid any attention whatsoever to the medication I needed and gave it to me right away. It was there the whole time & they thought it wasn’t. Completely incompetent staff.
By the time you read this review it will be too late. Took my daughter to the CRC to hopefully get some outside treatment plan and help to help with her combative behavior. They kept her overnight and called me the next day to tell me that …
Worst hospital I’ve ever been to! Most of the staff were rude! I heard one saying “don’t work too hard and don’t let them get on your nerves.” They almost never had beneficial Classes that helped with mental health. Only thing that …
After 8 different mental facilities in 5 months my Fiance is finally getting the care he needs. I have been treated kindly. Best of all my loved one is no longer being put thru hell, praise God. Thank you Staff.
They did nothing to help me dr douglas only spoke to me three or four times out of the seven days i was there robin my social worker spoke to me three times very briefly and i was sitting in a blank room for about 6 hours waiting to be …
The IOP is amazing. It has really helped me make many positive changes in my life. The group therapist really knows what she’s doing and very intuitive. She put things I didn’t know how to say into words for me. Almost like she was right …
Worst experience of my life. The doctors are undermanned and they put you on whatever medication they guess might work. I filed complaints against the Military ward clinical director (Dr Stibek) and in-turn was discharged from the program …
My son was admitted to the Hospital near the beginning of March. The staff and facility were very nice. My son’s doctor at the Hospital began treating him with a new medicine. Within 5 days he improved remarkably well. His train of …
The experience is very close to being in prison. The will also pump you full of pills no matter what your situation is and turn you into a zombie. There was nothing but pill-pushers who would prescribe you a smorgasbord of medication after talking to you for a minute and no counselling or anything. They will admit anyone to fill rooms.
well this place is horrible, the employes are very disrespectful and rude to the families here, they only seem to care about themseleves and not their patients, they are very unorganized as well, my brother was staying here and they …
A person I know was transferred to this place and I have to say this was the worst customer service I have EVER encountered. I am in the healthcare field and I would never treat any of our patient’s or their family like this. Myself and …
I was admitted to Sonora when I was 14 for a suicide attempt & stayed for a week. The BT’s don’t care about the kids, one was using his phone under the table and playing games while I was having a panic attack and he was supposed to be …
Horrible. They don’t help adolescences at all. I stayed there for about 5 nights and practically had to kiss a** to everyone just for them to believe I wasn’t the slightest bit of crazy. Every “nurse” there clearly hates their job. Just a …
I went to this hospital a little more than a month ago. The techs and nurses helped make the atmosphere more comfortable. I only didn’t like one thing, which were the beds. They’re literally yoga mats stacked on top of eachother.
Called to check in on a family member and Dean answer the phone extremely rude saying they don’t have a program due to my area code when I hadn’t even told him what I needed!!!!! Not the place to call if you need help in a serious manner!!! …
The staff of Sonora went above and beyond to accommodate my child and help me find the resources we needed after her discharge. They genuinely cared, which is something that is few and far between these days. Thank you all for everything❤
They never answer their phone, but when they do, they want to hang up the phone as quickly as possible. Also requests are ignored even concerning medications for patients! …
Dr. Diaz should lose his licence for what he does to his patients. Forcing patients to take heavy dosages of medications the patient have never taken before, lying that he has called family members and relaying info that was never said, and …
I was suffering severe psychiatric anxiety and depression. I spent 10 days in a mental hospital for an attempt on my life. I was prescribed increasing medicines that sedated me, but did not see enough improvement to be functional. I was …
From Jennifer at the front desk to all the excellent nurses, Tami, Crystal, Donata and Kelly in the preparation bays to the recovery area all steered by Dr. Weigund’s expertise, we could not be more thankful. My husband and I are treated with the upmost professionalism and empathy while making him well.
Ashley has to be the worlds worst social worker. She never shows any emotions EVER! Her face always has a blank look on it. She also has no personality and is rude and uncaring. I called the director and of course he didn’t return my call. …
The majority of his stay was good. But the day he was being discharged a tech came in my sons room and was taunting him, trying to get my son to react .when he didn’t the tech then put an elbow to my some jaw. Continued to taunt him. And …
when my child was admitted at SBH it was scary, confusing and unsettling, but the team there made it easy, questions were answered and concerns were addressed. Social workers, Ashleigh and Alexander were amazing! They had solutions and …
Is there anyone who is having communication issues with the social workers? Only one staff member I’ve felt keeps an open line of communication and from what I see and understand the children get to be in charge of there life as if they are …
I’m particularly fond of the staff at Madera. They are great ON every day and both 7p -7a or 7a-7p.My only problem was when I was moved to? Ward. They only are allowed to give what’s supplied. The med nurse,male ,he’s delightful and always …
Monique Lancaster started contacting me on fb sending harassing & vulgar messages. She bragged in one sentence how she was an RN & in the next sentence put down the mentally ill. I immediately Googled Sonora Behavioral Health so that I …
Sonora has dramatically changed between 2010 and now. They were once the best Psychiatric Hospital in Tucson. Now they’re pretty much a joke. The staff has become uncaring and unmotivated. Social workers are more concerned about getting …
Most of the night staff nurses and techs were great but one nurse named Jill C is incredible and should be recognized for her dedication and service to making everyone’s lives better and the experience of a stay at Sonora more comfortable. …
I am in healthcare and ended up here involentary…would defiantly suggest they provide more educated individuals for processing clients for intake. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN RETAINED. I was there for almost 7 days. My spouse was completely …
I requested my medical records so that I could get a security clearance for a job. It took about a month of me calling the line to get a person to talk to, and even longer for my records to be released. As the position was time sensitive, I …
I would not recommend this facility to anyone suffering from depression. There is no counseling of any kind and you are lucky if you see a doctor more than 3 minutes a day. The worst part of this experience is dealing with the billing …
I felt that staff was caring and as helpful as they could be with as many patients they have. Nurses were always on top of everyone’s meds. Doctors did the best to get around to all the patients. Thanks to them i finally received the …
Looks like most reviews from patients that have spent time at Sonora are thankful for the life-saving care they received. The negative reviews come from parents of children that reported unreliable perceptions to their parents. Sonora is an …
My daughter was in this facility the first week of August, 2019. they did everything you could to release her as fast as they could…She had attempted suicide, and miraculously pulled through. She was very sick, she was not ready to go …
Completely not happy with this place. My child has been here since Wednesday a.m. I have not been contacted by a professional at all. My child calls me once a day for 5 min as that’s all that’s allowed. My child did not break the law, just …
THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! My daughter was here for 8 days and 7 nights. Some of the workers were very rude to her and myself. The staff do not communicate with eachother at all. They cheat you on your visitors time. The dinning hall where you …
My child is protected by a restraining order and they REPEATEDLY allowed unauthorized, illegal contact with my child and then tried to deny the contact occurred when law enforcement was able to validate the breech. My child was also …
My son was sent here after being at CRC. He had already previously been to another level 1 and did well there. He is autistic as well as ODD and ADHD, he has explosive violent behaviors. His placement prior to Sonora was amazing. The BHRF …
A month ago my 13 year old son went from CRC to Sonora due to depression and saying suicidal statements. I read all of the terrible reviews and was really nervous about sending him there. I’m so glad I sent him! I really appreciate the care …
I have stayed there two times, each for a week and personally without it I wouldn’t be alive to talk about it. The facilities are clean and well taken care of, they treat the patients with respect and are truly there to help. Inside the …
was great but i got sent to an abusive wilderness therapy program by doctor remolina so somebody please push him into traffic if you see him 🙂
Was sent here (involuntary) after a suicide attempt at age 16. Being here was one of the worst experiences of my life. Staff constantly made me feel as if i were crazy, i had to go to extreme lengths to prove that i was a normal person that …
Terrible place for minors to be. Was admitted here after a suicide attempt when I was 16 and stayed for about 2 weeks. Staff doesn’t care about the kids. They sit there and will swear in front of them, use their phones in front of them, use …
There is NO communication between doctors, patients, staff, an family. The doctor never called back when asked to be spoken to, Doctor says one thing nursing staff says another an the patient is told something entirely different. Nurse Kyle …
My family member was lied to! We called and described our situation which the intake coordinator said was appropriate. We finally convinced our loved one to go and then he was denied for the very things we described beforehand! I worked as …
Pray to God you never have to come to this place. Staff is unorganized, unmotivated and uncaring. If a request is made of them by a patient they are quick to complain and requests are ignored. Wife was here for 4 days before even seeing a …
When I was there things we’re great, the staff I had were caring and understanding. When one of the patients, including myself, got overwhelmed they did everything they could, while still helping the majority, to help them. The only …
After seeing the difficulties this institution has had, I had to tell a bit of my story. I was there for five days and released on Thursday, very positive experience and want to give a special thank you to the patient tech named Tyler and …
My child was admitted due to SI. The staff here have been so helpful and have helped my child more in the short amount of time that they have been there compared to the 3+ years of being treated at the behavioral health center we are …
They were horrible. It’s been years since I went there and I still look back at how bad the place was. It was cold, not only outside, but indoors as well. I didn’t have a jacket and was not allowed to go indoors unless everyone else wanted …
If you love your kids do not bring them here this place is horrible only there for 24 hours and was lie to by the supervisor I tried calling to talk to her in the morning she was upset and I wanted to talk to her before she went to bed …
I got a fungal infection on my face from the pillows and blankets there. Staff For BHT are unable to manage special needs or even needs since they’re on their phones most of the time. Case Managers and Nurses were the worst part. One …
I spent the absolute worst weeks of my life here at the very vulnerable age of 16. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression since age 10, and my hospitalization here only added to my trauma and was extremely detrimental to my mental …
Sonora behavioral health is so awful they hung up on me twice and they won’t even accept me Because I have issues
As long as they think they can get away with it, they will waste NO opportunity to commit abuse against patients. Recording fraudulent information on records, lying about the fact they have ZERO counseling services for inpatients, no …
The obnoxious person on the phone was all I needed to know this place has no compassion, most horrible thing they have children at their facility.
The front staff is so rude! They think they are nurses and dont want to transfer to the right departments. I recommend speaking with the director or doing a report to the main corporation if they hassle you without need. They are very …
I spent 9 days there detoxing. The politeness of the staff was absolutely few and far between. I would have given 5 stars but Amber, Wich I believe was a nurse was absolutely rude and didn’t seem to care about her job much less the …
I was admitted voluntarily for a depressive episode about 6 years ago now and in the time since I’ve gained some more insight about my experience at Sonora. Most of the staff in my impression were well intentioned and good people, but I …
The atmosphere and culture at Sonora is one of compassion, understanding and safety and is very patient focused. It is a pleasure to work here, from upper management to floor staff… everyone is dedicated to doing what’s best for the …
They left me in a locked room for an entire day with one meal and no water, and that was before I was admitted.
They had no therapists available, staff was uneducated and knew next to nothing …
They need a lot change , new better management, new system , new everything and people who are kind majority don’t even put a smile when starting shift some are rude . Unprofessional, no one perfect but comparing it from other places this is the worst place I ever worked for.
I was able to get healthy and walk away alive. I’m struggling with paying but they have been very kind to me. As long as you’re respectful, they were respectful.
DO NOT GO IN – HORRIBLE it was the worst fours days of my life. Rooms dirty and everything was hardly wiped down. Food was bad they lost my clothes all the time. They threaten to keep me there multiple times and putting words in my mouth. …
probably one of the worst places to send someone. while there were a few good staff members most were incredibly negligent. i gained 10 pounds in a week because of being excessively overfed (full meals eaten 100% plus ensure drinks and …
Sonora behavioral health deserves a zero. They do more damage than good. Rude, abusive people working there.
Even when you walk in voluntarily they lock you up and don’t let you leave. The …
Around a year ago I was at Sonora and I asked a male nurse what the pills he was trying to give me were and him and the other male nurse next to him decided to give me no answer and forcefully pushed me into the room past the bed I had been …
For my first experience, I would like to rate this place a 5 because it is helpful and I liked how caring the staff was and me being there with a roommate kinda wasn’t the best for me but it made me communicate with her and the food is okay …
Thank you for saving me. You all changed my life for the absolute best. And I’m up right now because I just got off work. I want to buy you guys flowers or Starbucks. You don’t understand what this means to me, you saved me. I am so …
I was basically kidnapped by this place. I just wanted to talk with someone for a few minutes and next thing I knew I was admitted. They wouldnt let me leave for 5 days. I never ate or changed my clothes. They lost my personal belongings. …
