Adolescent Growth - Lombard, Illinois

Sir M.

Man tbh this place helped in ways but low-key it was straight up ruined. I went there twice I succeeded the first time (barely) it was Ruff the first time but I got threw. The 2nd time I was kicked out. The reason being "i don't care abt treatment" i did, the day I was kicked out i woke up and said I was gonna like "put in my all" but it didn't work. But whats the point of this. I was in crisis and one of the staff (you know who you are) took my mp3 player away which she knew was keeping me from crashing out.
Then took me into her office called my mom and told her I "wasn't gonna participate in group thus it would be best for me to go to the hospital" ONE GROUP I didn't go to 1 group and then I was out. My main problem was this staff. Everyone else and I mean everyone else seemed like they cared. And she'll say she dose but I don't think telling a kid "i can call your mom so stop crying" is caring. I don't think kicking someone out of a place that was gonna help them for not going to the "teir meeting" is caring. Insulting your staff behind there backs saying "I'm gonna have to re staff cus obviously nobody is doing it right" is caring. You know who you are. To the staff that tried and cared kudos to you.i wanna say to the teacher while ik we had our disagreements you were always a person I looked up to so thank you. To MY therapist you helped me threw alot even tho you had to pry stuff outta me still thank you. To the chef "the G" you always made me feel heard and you were one of the first times I cried in front of a man so thank you for giving me food and a guy i could talk to. To all the ma's you guys really tried even when we were loud and didn't follow instructions. I found you guys to be very professional or just real. Also to the owners don't reply to this is really don't care because I am not coming back.

This review is for the Los Angeles CA facility in Korea town. If we could give zero stars.. We would. Unable to find contact information for owner or senior management to discuss MAJOR issues while our granddaughter was there. Some issues..No daily schedule, psychiatrist that only talks to patient on phone, understaffed, yoga is a video, physical activity is walking to CVS or Starbucks, Sunday is watching church on TV, no treatment transparency..etc....
Can Someone contact us!

Our son spent 50 days here. They were very kind and caring. The counselors and staff worked with his specific issues and came up with a plan that could help him. We couldn’t be happier with the help he received. We are forever grateful.

As a parent who was hoping to find guidance and help for my pre-teen daughter, all she got was trauma and heads being turned the other way at Adolescent Growth. Staff member overdosed in the bathroom for the patients to discover her passed out on the floor and even though cameras are supposed to be on and footage available when asked, I was not given any help when an physical altercation arose between my daughter and another patient living here. Believe your child if they are here and get them out of this place.

My child spent 45 days here and I was so impressed! The structure, the staff, the psychiatrist, everyone even the administrative staff was amazing! The director Angelia is one of the most amazing people I have ever meet and my child’s therapist Nancy was awesome, my child learned so many coping skills and how to deal with things better, they are doing amazing now back at home!!! Thank you all for everything you will forever hold a special place in our hearts!!!

Had a bad experience with this place. First, they couldn't do a phone call with us for two days due to "technical issues.." Second, they seem to think that because their facility is "nice" the program is really good. There's more to it than that. Their website says they treat ODD but then tell me my son with ODD is "too extreme." They didn't even talk to the hospital or his therapist before making a decision. Notice in the other reviews, they don't say whether the adolescent got better. Do yourself a favor and check out other places.

An absolutely horrible experience for me, I was in this residential for 34 days my mother had to pull me out. I felt unsafe i was getting homisidel threats from other patients the police were called to many times, there were fights, runaway patients the staff tried to argue constantly with patients it was not a safe environment for anyone who needs residential term support. if i could give half a star i would.

I have viewed this company on 3 different websites & 90 percent of the reviews on all 3 websites are negative with no response whatsoever from the owner or company itself. This shows lack of efficiency, integrity, & accountability. Recently contacted twice from 2 different recruiters & declined twice due to the negative reviews. When negative reports are coming from the patients/clients, staff, and their guardians, without any visible response from the company itself, there's a problem.
