Peachford Behavioral Health System of Atlanta Reviews ( 92 )

  1. Absolutely disgusting facility. I just left my daughter there and I regret it so much. She came in by ambulance at midnight and they didn’t get her checked in and moved to a room until 6:00 am. They brought us to a private waiting room …

  2. Everyone gives this place a poor review. Mainly because they are not open-minded and not willing to admit there is a problem and they do not want to accept the help that they need. This place helped me out alot.

  3. IT MAY NOT B THE HILTON BUT THE ACCOMIDATIONS WERE FAIRLY GOOD CLEAN ROOMS NICE SHOWERS GREAT FOOD THE STAFF WAS KIND AND CONCIDERATE OF THE PAITENTS PROBLEMS AND WERE REAL HELPFUL IN GETTTING PREPARED FOR RECOVERY WASNT TOO EXCITEF BOUT BEING THERE AT FIRST BUT GLAD I WENT

  4. TERRIBLE PLACE . AWFUL THE STAFFS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR CHILDREN ONLY A HANDFUL ACTUALLY CARE. WHEN A PERSON IS CRYING EITHER THE STAFF WALKS AWAY OR GIVES THEM A SHOT TO MAKE THEM GO TO SLEEP. MY DAUGHTER WENT THERE AND CAME BACK SELF …

  5. I have not personally been here, but I called a friend, and I had the nastiest phone service I have ever had. The staff was extremely rude and cold, and I did not appreciate the way I was talked to.

  6. I was there and even when they got everything right, the kept changing my discharged date and my medicine. Will never go back there ever again.

  7. I was 12 and was there for self harm and the gave 6people the pass out shot the first day I was there and only got worse they wouldn’t let u know what time it was and they do not care about anyone’s problems and when I got in my room there …

  8. I was there in 2013 and at first it was a little rocky but once you put your guard down it was Awesome friendly staff truly good food and plenty ofit a very refreshing release back to civilization and life if you need help this is the place REAL talk

  9. I would rate them zero my brother just got released two weeks ago, and my brother died yesterday. I would never send any one here they don’t give a damn about their patients apparently

  10. This place saved my life. I’m over two years clean and now work in the fielding helping others recover from substance use disorder. I owe a lot to peachford.

  11. dis place is horible the staff are rude and disrepectful to us as kids when i was just i just discharged to day on thursday april 7 but the staff cursed at us said that are better then us that they really dont get paid of nuff to deal wit …

  12. NEVER NEVER send any one you love to this place. From the day of admittance to the day of release, it was absolutely horrible. There is not one good or positive thing to say about this place. It was a nightmare for my daughter and myself.

  13. This is the absolute worst place in the state of Georgia. Nurses and doctors are worthless pieces of trash, and don’t care at all. Give you wrong information when you call, and don’t help with anything. I highly recommend avoiding this place as best as you can please.

  14. I was 9 years Old when I was admitted to the hospital for 38 hour evaluation …. it was the most traumatizing experience of my life …. The place was on inviting ….I was pumped with antipsychotics simply because I had anxiety and …

  15. Awful place. My 9 year old son was admitted by his Mother against my judgment. He wore the same clothes for three days running and was allowed to mix with suicidal teenagers that told him of their suicide attempts. …

  16. Give no star! Disgusted the way they handle discharge with my child! They referred him to a doctor who can’t refill his medicine and when tried to reach Peachford we can get a answer back from his doctor. So heartless. They don’t care about patients! Thumbs down.

  17. This place is HORRIBLE !!! No communication no professionalism !! It’s all about money !!! How can you keep some there for 5 days and no doctor come talk to my sister !!! The lady hanged up in my face when i asked to speak with my sister . …

  18. If there was a place for 0 Stars that’s what I would. I ended up because of serious depression and anxiety. It was like I was in jail and like I had done something wrong, instead of being nurtured back to health, they treat you like a criminal. The staff were awful, at times almost sadistic. Do not send someone you love there.

  19. I went to this place and it was pretty bad.
    The thing that scared me the most is when a kid or teenager is misbehaving they give them “ booty-juice.” It’s basically something that puts you to sleep or …

  20. They get a bad rap because they treat damaged people that don’t want to be treated. My wife did their out patient program and she is alive and doing better than ever. These people deal with crazy so just be patient.

  21. My Friend Went here and there was a fight and girls selfharming so we had to take her out of there. Also they would not let me call her because I am not imediate family. Even though I had her Id Number and My Mom Checked her in. I hate that Mental Hospitals have to be like this.

  22. not therapeutic and you leave sometimes more unstable than you were than you got there. A waste of insurance or personal funds. Wish I had another reference to give of a better psychiatric hospital. Ive heard good things about Riverview. …

  23. A lot of these reviews have a negative bend. I guess that’s understandable considering that many patients aren’t intending to get admitted to Peachford and are not necessarily “happy to go” into the hospital there for a psychiatric or detox …

  24. My sister was hospitalized and Dr.Lewis Casal cussed her out! She’s 16 years old and was in there for suicidal thoughts. And he made her cry! The staff doesn’t do their job. They don’t care! They made my sister stay longer than needed so they could make money! I never thought this stuff actually happened at mental facilities.

  25. This place is bad but its not the worst. I was mad after being sent here then years later I was sent to a real horror movie hospital. Compared to that one this one may as well be a five star hotel. I say this to y’al; make lemonade because …

  26. My child has had to come here at least 4 times. Each time she has not improved and had to return. We only go here when there is no other place in the state of Georgia. They do not have therapy, only groups! They do not get the family …

  27. After spending some time at another hospital for Bipolar Disorder, Peachford was definitely not up to par . I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder around three years ago and upon arriving at Peachford I was put on an antidepressant, when I …

  28. One of my friends went there I think last year and I almost lost her. This place does NOT help. The other doctors didn’t believe her that one of the nurses used my friends restraining time against her in way i never thought would happen. NEVER GO HERE EVER! I will not go into detail im just reviewing for a friend who can’t.

  29. My husband was admitted here on Friday night. I am still trying to get him out and they are only holding him to bill our insurance company. You can’t get any info out of this hellhole and all they are doing is throwing pills at him. You can’t get a treatment plan out of them other than group sessions. Are you kidding me?

  30. This was the absolute worst experience ever. My 8 year old son was taken here under a 1013 and I was told he would be here for 3 to 5 days for treatment. He was there less than 48 hours because his his insurance denied it the first time. …

  31. RUDE employees. Nurses, doctors and staff do NOT communicate with each other leaving family members in the dark. Called everyday for a week to get info for my mom and got different answers every time on her release date and we live 3 …

  32. My daughter was sent to Peachford from our local ER after a mental health emergency in April 2015. While there, she was given some cocaine by another participant on her last day there. At first I didn’t believe her because she tends to …

  33. My Lifemate was admitted for Hallucinations. In 48 hours she was fed one small sandwich, denied her antidepressant medication (A dangerous practice), Told to tough it out when she had a panic attack (The nurse was VERY rude when she told …

  34. This place is something out of the American Horror Story. The only thing they are concerned with is the amount of money they can take from insurance company. Once the authorization for funds runs out you will be discharged immediately. GA …

  35. I’ve got to wonder how much hey paid the photographer for those pictures.
    The place is a dump. There are no comforters on the beds and certainly no decent pillows. …

  36. I personally had a horrible experience back in Peachford Hospital during March 2012. It did not seem like a mental hospital, as it was more like a prison place. Patients were locked in their rooms for hours on low quality beds. Though, what …

  37. Very rude people who work there.My sister was scared to sleep there.A girl tried to steal her shoes and slapped her in her face.The food had fly’s and gave her diarrhea. We brought her tooth paste and she never received it. Don’t send your …

  38. Visiting hours are only on Saturday & Sunday from 1-2PM and Wednesday evening for an hour. Kids are only allowed to call their parents every night for about 10 mins no more than that. When the child is crisis its important that there is a …

  39. Believe the rewiews! Went to PHP for 2 days, the group sessions were fine but my psychiatrist was beyond horrible and completely unprofessional. I tried to change and it was an absolute nightmare. They wanted me to go to detox but told me …

  40. Please do not take any loved one to this facility. My mother-in-law was a patient there and I wound up having to call the Dunwoody Police Department twice to make Peachford follow through with the paperwork they said was already in place to …

  41. Stayed 7 days for depression. Place was nice compared to Louisiana. Got to go in a court yard often. Cafeteria was nice with plenty of food options. Didn’t feel like a prisoner. Didn’t like the community area, was small and 1 TV to share …

  42. I was admitted to Peachford from a local ER on an illegal 10-13 warrant–involuntary hospitalization after having clearly and calmly denied any suicidal plan or intent, but that’s another story. Since my first psychiatric hospitalization …

  43. The quality of care is appaling. My wife was hospitalized due to bipolar disorder. Nobody, even a nurse, saw her for more than 24 hours after the admision. No physician was on the premises and her psychiatrist did not visit her for the same …

  44. Staff is rude. The staff shouldn’t be rude at all at a mental services institution. The place itself is depressing. They definitely need brighter colors on the wall. The visiting area is tiny and uncomfortable. The common area where the patients stay was crammed with patients. I felt like I was on Shutter Island.

  45. Please don’t send anyone you love here or admit yourself here. It is an awful place. I just got out yesterday. I was there for depression. First of all, I went there voluntarily for outpatient therapy. They took my things away and locked …

  46. I was there in march of 2012 and it was pure HELL!The staff are horrible and rude and ignorant.They kept changing my meds it was ridiculous. They lock you in your room and your rarely allowed to leave. It was gross,dirty and completely run …

  47. This place is terrible! My wife has been there more than once and I am never letting her go back! There are better places I’m sure and in the future we will research and find a place where they actually give a damn about the patient!!! …

  48. My aunt was in this place. She has excellent insurance and could use some serious help and doctors. Well after 7 weeks and their temporary facility ran out of insurance, they took her the streets, a nursing care hime, and dropped her off …

  49. I feel horrible for any juveniles that may end up here. My poor niece was abused by her father (both physically and mentally) and ended up RESENTING him for the emotional abuse. So, in retaliation to her reporting him, he sent her here to …

  50. I had attended the outpatient 1/2 day program, so when my depression was at it’s lowest it made sense for me to go to Peachford’s inpatient program. It was very scary. I did not feel that I was in a therapeutic setting. They would have …

  51. Worst experience I have ever had. Nurses and techs are rude and mean. Not at all kind. Treat you like prisoners instead of PAYING patients. Terrible food. Doctors in such a hurry, no time to ask them a question. If you go in on your own, …

  52. I was admitted to Peachford in May of 2011 for suicidal thoughts/actions after being in a local emergency room. I can honestly say that it was the worst 10 days of my life. The staff was very uncaring and didn’t offer any kind of …

  53. An honest review. It’s not a good place to have to be. The staff is uncaring and rude. They didn’t seem to have a care in the world about the patients. At times just shutting them in a room and leaving them for an hour or more at a time. …

  54. This place is a vacation compared to lakeview behavior health. Besides them freaking out on you when you are too tired to come to groups. It’s honestly just group after group. My complaint was that after you are better they keep you there …

  55. Want to start this by saying I am 23 years old at the time of writing this and I do make stupid mistakes. One of those said mistakes landed me in Peachford and I can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences of my life. They run it …

  56. I wish I could give this place zero star. My mother was sent there on court order 72 hour psych watch 5 years ago. Before the 72 hours was even up, the counselor was trying to release her. She finally agreed to hold a family …

  57. This was the most traumatizing facility I have been to. Patients were either given too much freedom, for their conditions, or too much restriction. A patient was choked by another patient, after he was checked into the facility. He also …

  58. THANK GOD for this place. When I tell you God intervened with the Dr & the social worker who has been working with our family member, it is the God’s honest truth. The level of communication, compassion & empathy and above all HUMANITY to …

  59. My daughter was admitted here by her aunt who was appointed temporary guardian over her. Anyway, try being in another state and your child is in this place where you can never get a hold of anyone on the phone and all you hear about is your …

  60. I would not recommend this facility to anyone who is used to open lines of communication about their child. My son has been at another facility in the past where they answered the phone and returned phone calls within a reasonable time …

  61. My child was admitted to this facility in late 2021. The staff was extremely compassionate towards her needs, the Dr was great, and the caseworker kept in constant contact with us. My child bonded with several of the nurses. They listened …

  62. i admitted here twice, both experiences horrible. the food was alright but thats it. the staff didnt offer any support and made you feel like you were in jail with the hard restrictions and set up. the rooms were not comforting at all and …
