"This facility has been a lifesaver for me. DR. is the most professional friendly doctor I've met in my entire life... he actually cares about the patient and not the money... I have been clean and sober of opiate addiction for just over 4 years."
— ProjectKnow.com (Clayton Behavioral)"To anyone who needs to talk about their problems - please avoid this place at all costs. The triage nurses are amateurish and the doctor I saw had absolutely no interest in discussing, or even acknowledging the causes of my depression."
