Our Approach

I began treatment for anorexia at LAOP after being hospitalized. Between daily nutrition counseling and therapy, I am slowly building a better relationship with food and with myself.

We sent our son to Beachside Treatment Center for help. The doctors are wonderful, as is the entire staff. The facility and grounds are very nice and tranquil too. He learned how to avoid triggers and how to calm himself is stressful situations. He is now using his new skills to navigate life and functioning well.

After the death of my husband, I had severe depression and anxiety that I thought I was handling ok. It wasn't until my friends reached out to me about Los Angeles Outpatient that I realized it had gotten so much worse. The team of professionals working at the center have just really helped me with tools and techniques on how to deal with my anxiety and depressive moods. I'm grateful to this program and to my friends for recommending me to it.

While I knew I was not qualified to self-diagnose, I knew enough to know something was just not right. I have always been a social butterfly. Over the last couple of months I had no energy for the activities I usually find such pleasure in and no desire to see my friends. Coming to The Meadowglade has really helped me to get a handle on the inner issues that caused the change.

Our niece has been dealing with anxiety since before the pandemic and had started taking a turn down a scary path. We were there with her parents when reaching out to Beachside and what a tremendous help they have been in helping her deal with her anxiety and substance abuse. They have an amazing team there to support and who are dedicated to their clients.

After I described my situation to them, along with the steps that needed to be taken before I could start taking medication, they volunteered to help me. Fantastic physicians! Wonderful people who are also extraordinarily compassionate doctors.

The best decision I made for myself was to finally get treatment for my addiction. It was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do, there is no doubt about that. For quite a while I was too scared to even try to change that about myself but taking those steps has given me a new life.

I am so happy with the programs that Hillcrest has. My daughter has depression and the things we have tried so far were not really helping long term. Like many, we did our homework and found this very nice facility. Everyone is very friendly and caring here. The rooms are nice, even the meals look delicious. It took a little work, but she is engaging with the counselors and other people and is really making some headway. It will still be some time, but I am thrilled with her progress, and her positive attitude.

When my brother’s ODD came to a head last year, my family was at our wits end and it became clear he needed more help than we could provide. All of us did our research and eventually I came across Hillcrest. It seemed like a great place. So far, we’ve all been working with them for about a month and we’re seeing a huge difference in my brother’s behavior.

Lest anyone who hears postpartum depression think it is not a real thing, my sister is living proof that it is. She was always so happy around my three children and couldn’t wait to have a baby of her own. She was as baffled as we were about her symptoms. The Meadowglade has made a huge difference for her.
