Sunrise was a life saving & life altering experience for our daughter and family. As a parent you are making a choice you never envisioned making and my hope is you too will find the same experience for your daughter. I am confident in the …
When I first arrived at Sunrise I hated it. I was sent to Sunrise for being human traffic and not understanding that I can get adrenaline in a safe way. Sunrise has changed my life forever. If i didn't go to sunrise i would be dead right …
I've worked for Sunrise RTC since 2015 and have seen lasting change come from students who make the effort to do so. I strongly believe in the values and beliefs of Sunrise and have loved working with the girls staff and other employees. …
My 13 yr old has been there for almost 6 months and I am amazed at the progress she has made. It was very scary sending your child across the country but we were no longer able to keep her safe at home. She was cutting daily and expressed …
My daughter had a life changing experience at Sunrise. No program is perfect but Sunrise got the most important things right. And it worked. The therapists and staff are very caring and very competent. It was well worth it.
My daughter Sara went here several years ago when she was trying to handle life’s difficulties that arise as a teenager dealing with various stressful events and blended family. …
My daughter spent just over 10 months at Sunrise and it was life changing for our entire family. It was truly the most difficult decision I ever had to make to put her in treatment but we are thankful every single day. She was struggling …
I could not find the Washington campus so I'll do it on here. First things first it is an amazing house with large rooms and kind loving staff (Washington Campus). Amazing. Saved my life from the moment I got there and allowed me …
My daughter was at Sunrise for 14 months. Even though the work was hard and it was very difficult trusting others to care for my daughter if given the choice again I would definitely choose Sunrise. …
I firmly believe that while my stay at sunrise was challenging and uncomfortable at times: it changed my life. Just because something isn’t fun or comfortable it doesn’t mean you don’t need it. Sunrise tries it’s best to give every student …
My parents sent me to Sunrise a couple of years ago and I am very grateful. Without them I would have never been able to become the person I am today. I was able to get my diploma at Sunrise Academy with the help of their awesome …
I have known the Sunrise program for over a decade and can attest to their ability to work with complex cases and pull families back together. Southern Utah is such beautiful and healing setting for all the work encompassed in their program. I love the staff and would trust them with own my daughter.
Stellar care. Saved my girl’s life after trauma derailed her. Every day I’m grateful for the skills she learned and uses daily. She is thriving now. She is an amazing human and so are the staff at Sunrise that we knew in the 10 months she …
I have noticed a lot of either very harsh 1-star or very excited 5-star and not much in between. I would say that this is due to different perspectives going in and out of Sunrise. Because I went to wilderness before coming to …
Sunrise truly helped save my life. I was in a super rough place in my life with relationships (friends family and myself) and they helped me learn what healthy relationships are and appropriate boundaries. At the end of September I will …
I have worked at Sunrise just shy of 9 years. I have had so many positive experiences and have also witnessed the real life change that we talk about. Just the other day I sat down with a student who thought that she would never graduate …
I was at Sunrise from May 2018- May 2019. Almost 3 years after graduation I can confidently say that this place is the reason I am still here today. The journey is not always easy and smooth sailing but I am a personal believer that the …
I worked at Sunrise RTC for 2 years and if you choose to send your daughter there you would not be making a poor choice. I've gotten the chance to work at a couple Residential Treatment Centers and currently work at one in LA as the …
if you’re reading this I know first hand how much pain you and or your daughter is in trying to find a solution for someone who is hurting. I didn’t have the luxury of time to tour before sending my daughter. On drop off day was my first …
IGNORE THE ONE STAR!!! Those are definitely made by girls that never got the full value of this place. I HATED Sunrise at first. That quickly changed. With an open heart you can accomplish anything. This place changed my life. I …
In 2012 after over a decade of therapy and struggling with anxiety and depression i finally reached my breaking point and went to Sunrise. After 8 months i had done a 180 and they saved my life. 4 years after graduating I have been off my …
I've worked at Sunrise for just over 5 years and all I can say is there is no other environment where I feel like I can succeed and fail and still know that everyone around me is rooting for me. Work is hard but having the skills to know …
Although each person is different Sunrise helped us and our daughter communicate with each other and build a trust. The DBT program is a journey to go through together. It isn't always easy or perfect. Please don't be discouraged by the …
As a therapist with experience at different programs for youth I have found this one the most helpful. The girls are treated with respect and care. The philosophy of Sunrise is based in helping the girls with relationships and they do just …
As I hesitate to recommend specific treatment to anyone because we each have certain & varied needs I share with confidence & gratitude that Sunrise & therapist Derek Barney saved our teenager and has been instrumental in making our family …
i am not going to deny the fact that sunrise helped some things but the way i was treated was nothing close to okay. if your child is straight and identifies as cis-gender she might have a wonderful experience and really gain skills and …
First off the most difficult thing I had to admit was “I am not a bad mother I just need help in helping my daughter live. We had a beautiful daughter that suffers with depression anxiety and suicidal ideation. After spending a month in …
I spent several months at sunrise in 2010. The accident was a tragedy that was no ones fault. However looking back it is a reflection of how horribly the facility is run and operates. That was one of the most traumatizing times of my life …
I am so glad I came to Sunrise. I attended Sunrise from June 2016-July 2017 and it literally saved my life. Before Sunrise I was extremely depressed anxious and suicidal. I stopped going to school and was full of anger. Sunrise really …
I went here years ago. Now an adult one whom works in treatment I can truly say I do not recommend this treatment center. There were some good parts I will not deny that. A majority of my experience was unfortunately very negative. I did …
I wouldn’t wish this place on anyone. I was at Sunrise rtc from June 2020-August 2021 Sunrise is not a queer friendly place the staff would purposely deadname me if I wasn’t doing what they wanted or didn’t like what I was saying just to …
I wrote my initial (with 5 stars) on the request of a staff member. While I PERSONALLY thrived in this program they repeatedly used my (trauma-based) need for approval for their own gain. I became the “poster child” for recruiting …
If I could give sunrise a negative 10 star I would. Parents please don’t send your teens here. They try to make you be perfect. When you don’t do something right you get punished for it. You are not allowed to eat when ever you want. …
Our daughter went here that our EC helped us navigate. Therapy sessions were marginal and only after switching therapist (which actually took us several weeks and only after our EC got involved to push the program). Family therapy …
please DO NOT send your child here!! when I first got out and for quite a long time after I suppressed all that I saw and went though there but with the help of my current therapist I have realized how traumatic sunrise really is. I …
THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. I went here in 2007 when I was 17. Sunrise destroyed me. It broke my spirit and my confidence and I’ve never recovered. I’m 32 now and I still struggle to trust anyone. I’ll never trust my parents even though they …
I wanted to clarify on a past that's on here. The car accident that took place in 2010 was NOT due to neglect. The staff driving the vehicle was an amazing lady and the incidient itself was an ACCIDENT. I was there in the van and …
I was here for 15 months. it was very traumatic I made bad decisions and witnessed horrible things. I am safe and sober now even though Brad told my parents i would need a life time of treatment. I am home happy with a job getting my ged …
This is a long in-depth of sunrise: I have been out of sunrise after graduating the program for a while now. I was a student there for over a year and successfully completed the program. This might be a three star but …
Today Sunrise had a parent event and invited alumni who live in the area to join. It was really nice to be in groups and catch up with staff I haven't seen in a while. My friend and I were sitting in one of the houses during the second …
