I had high hopes for Banyan heartland but unfortunately the services there were mediocre at best. My husband was placed there from October 10th until November 5th. For the entire duration of his treatment, I was NEVER contacted at all by the after care coordinator/case manager(April Long).I spoke to the assigned therapist, ONCE and that was only after I called the facility several times and was finally able to reach her(April Bradley). How can patients be set up for long lasting success when ZERO contact or collaboration has been made with the family?? I have been a social worker myself for nearly 30 years and as such, I can attest that the standard of care at Banyan is poor. I was the one to find the next step down placement for my husband, NOT the case manager. Patients are only there for a short time and as such, the family should be incorporated immediately into service provision. My husband‘s therapist was out sick for 2 of the 4 weeks he was there. You would think because treatment needs to be intensive in that short period of time, they would have assigned another therapist to take over while his original therapist was ill. They did not. They simply did not provide the individual therapy during that period of time. Then, in an effort to get some resolution, I called and left a message for the executive director but did not receive a return call. Unprofessional to say the least. It seems like the program is nothing more than an insurance suck. Very disappointing. I hope his next level of treatment is much more effective. I would not recommend Banyan.

A friend of mine has been there 4 times. I have seen others on here complain about the same thing, family inclusion and zero follow up with patients when they go home. It strikes me as just a money maker because of the massive relapses. On the last visit they told him some people have done it 18 times as if it's normal to relapse that much. I just wanted to ask them what's available for those going home to a house that is a complete disaster and what to do but received no call back after trying to get in touch several times. I am the one they called prior to admission to assist and am on his list of people to call.

So, I admitted myself to Banyan Heartland the Sunday before Christmas 2024. There were about 25 people in there. All male and 2 or 3 females. Right off the bat, I liked it. I had been struggling with suboxin addiction for 8 years, but it felt great to think i was going to get the help i needed. So I threw my script in the trash, kissed my kids goodbye, and got picked up to go to Banyan. 4 days later, I was abruptly kicked out of the facility and driven 2 hours back home to go threw suboxin withdrawal in front of my 2 six year olds the day after Christmas. My kids thought I was missing Christmas because I had to go to the Dr for a month. Seeing me after having been gone for just 4 days and not making Christmas was worse than the withdrawals. Don't trust this place with yourself or your loved ones. The people who work here play favorites. They absolutely knew I wasn't giving anybody any number for drugs or anything else, but because somebody claimed I was, I was abruptly removed. 0 evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Now they are trying to bill me for over 3k for being there just 3.5 days. I would have happily paid had they just provided the services the promised. You've been warned.

I am posting this review as the loved one of a patient. In our case, the patient relapsed the same day when they left the center. This place is ineffective and does not help individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. In particular, they are not a dual-diagnosis center. The goal of this center is to make money from inpatient program and clinically not provide the support for the patient after the treatment duration. In our case, after the inpatient program that lasts 14 days, the patient was asked to schedule a therapy session after 21 days externally by themselves. Do not get fooled by the numbers that are posted on the website about their success rates. In our case, the patient has severe depression and they diagnosed it, but they don’t do anything about it. In summary, addiction has an underlying root cause that ought to be treated - they do not address that. Secondly a 14 day rehab is hardly enough time - we learned all this in hindsight, unfortunately. They also do not communicate with family members, though they have consent. Emails and messages get ghosted because they do not want to talk to you. Giving the patient random advice and expecting them to follow through is not support or setting the patient up for success. They did tell me that you can’t work harder than the patient. Again, the patient in this case relapsed the very day he was discharged from rehab. I would certainly consider other less expensive places that may care more for the recovery phase of the patient, not just do the treatment and not care. Recovery is a lifelong process and any center that claims to do rehab has to address that through their treatment, or not offer it in the first place - they hurt real people. Yes, they have the same "canned" response that they copy and paste for any negative review posted here.
