The Center • A Place of HOPEReviews of aplaceofhope.com

The Center has truly changed my life..This program offered me a "dig deep" transformational process that addressed my whole self. I experience a deep sense of generosity and learned life long skills to practice ongoing that has changed my relationships both with my self and those I care about. I had worked deeply on personal improvement in the past but nothing has been as life affirming and empowering and supportive as what I experienced at The Center. I can honestly say I incorporate these skills and my self care every day. Blessed & Grateful...Thank You!

OK, I have nothing but fabulous things to say about The Center. I can say each and every staff member truly cares about their patients. Beginning with the initial admissions team conversations, the program is specifically tailored to exactly what you need. If you are looking for help and hope, this is certainly the right place to be!!

Wholistic...Professional...Collaborative Care. The Center is a spa for the soul. Care is catered to one's specific needs. Each day a team of experts look at every part of you and them compare notes, and I mean every part of you. Dr. Gregory Jantz and his team are top notch care-givers. The journey inward is the most arduous course any person can ever take. It is one we must all traverse and thank God there are places like The Center to aid us in this expedition. In a world of turmoil and trouble, The Center truly is A Place of Hope. Do yourself, and your family a favor, and go for 2-4 weeks. You will never regret it!

The Center is the best. Place. Ever. The culture of the facility is what sets it apart in mind. It is an atmosphere like none other where it is okay to not be okay. There are no masks or pretensions. The world-class professionals that compose personal teams are nothing short of amazing. They are warm, caring individuals who excel in their respective fields. The whole person approach to treatment is unique among treatment centers, but The Center has captured it in the most effective way. Yet, I am convinced that The Center's excellence is rooted in it's attention to Christian faith and spirituality. By no means is The Center limited Christians. You don't have to believe in anything to go there, but if faith is a part of your life, you seamlessly make it a part of your healing, regardless of what type of faith it is. Truly, The Center is a safe place to be. It has changed my life for the better, and I am forever grateful for the kindness of Dr. Jantz and his wonderful team.

This place provided a real turning point in my life. I can't thank the staff there enough for the work they do.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is seriously struggling with mental illnesses of most any kind. It was one of the hardest thing I've ever chosen to do and it was absolutely worth it. I learned things there that have helped me control worry, anxiety, and especially depression far better than anything else. The only caveat is that if you choose to live in one of their free (and pretty nice, as I understand) housing units, they are very controlling. They restrict what you're allowed to bring and will actually take electronics from you for a week or more. Appallingly, the admissions team will lie constantly during the intake process about the rules for their housing units in order for them to seem less unreasonable. Despite this, I strongly recommend this place, especially if you decide to live away from their housing units.

Truly the most skilled & most caring staff. Easily the most worthwhile experience of my life. I'd be happy to be their spokesperson. Thank you for investing in my life!

Well, its been 5 days over waiting 30 full days to receive a refund that we were told we would get. They took $12,000 of my Mother's money on 4/12 and I decided to not attend on 4/13. I never signed any contract stating I would attend. I have to assume by now (because we have e-mailed twice, called 4 to 5 times, left 3 voice messages with no response) they may not give us our money back. I hope that is not the case, but they have not reassured us. How ridiculous is it that a place called "A Place Called Hope" will leave you hanging with no communication regarding $12,000 they took for services you have NOT received. And they do this to someone with known PTSD, anxiety and depression. Someone they knew was going to have a difficult time financially affording the services anyhow. And someone who is waiting for SSDI and could use the money for basic survival or other treatment services. My Mom and I have both tried and they do not even have the common decency to return a call or write and e-mail to reassure us the money will be returned. We were told 30 days or earlier. It is day 35 and they are not returning my Mom's phone calls. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Will be getting legal advice soon if the money doesn't show. It's not like I don't have all the communication to them through e-mail and screen shots of our attempts when we called and heard nothing back. Very traumatic experience for someone already suffering from PTSD. This experience has destroyed my confidence in these types of treatment centers and will likely discourage ever seeking treatment like this again. UPDATE: Yesterday afternoon, after this review was posted, my Mother received word that the money was put in her bank "last night". This AM my Mother reported that had received a portion of the funds back and the other is coming hopefully soon: today or tomorrow. I am uncertain as to why if the money was coming, they could not give us an return call OR an e-mail confirming so. ANYONE would be anxious about $12,000 when the money was not returned in the time they specified and then they neglect to communicate with you. The other obvious issue is that my post had to be investigated because this organization falsely stated that I was reviewing a place across the country. BASICALLY, I feel VIOLATED because this entity that I gave ALL of my most private information about my mental health issues and trauma, not only neglected to have the common courtesy to communicate about a large sum of money that we were anxiously awaiting to receive that we had paid a month earlier, they also refused to acknowledge accountability of their neglect and made a FALSE statement that they were the correct organization. I not only gave them $12,000, but disclosed a lot of personal information in an intake assessment and in some homework they requested. Having this experience (and quite frankly others when seeking mental health services) has destroyed my confidence and discouraged me from ever seeking help. I have turned to other types of assistance: Yoga Therapy, DBT class, etc. But, will probably not EVER reach out to a center again. It felt awful for my Mom and me to worry daily if the money would return and once the 30 days expired, it not be there and no one returned our calls or answered our e-mails. I can't trust an organization that lies about me reviewing the wrong organization, yet, I gave them my whole mental health history and sensitive information. ICK. Violated. An extremely bad experience. I am relieved the funds are coming back, but feel sick about the whole experience. They also should know that taking that long to return that amount of money possible could prevent someone from going elsewhere when they really need the help. That's all.... I would not recommend this place because they are not trustworthy and you can find a DBT group, meditation classes, yoga therapy, a nutritionist without having to empty your pockets to people who are dishonest and neglect to communicate, causing anxiety and concern when you already have enough issues.
