A Place of Hope for Depression

I came for depression, anxiety and sexual addiction. I am 20 years old and I needed to learn to love myself as much as I love others. The Admissions Team was great and answered all my questions. My treatment team was amazing and let me vent my frustrations. The DBT classes were the best for me. The smoothies were radical too. I highly recommend The Center. more

Here is my experience, and this is humbling to write as I was an abuser and not abused. I needed help. I was severely depressed and suffered from challenging relationships and trauma. I had to learn how to control my rage and get tools to manage my emotions, especially the extreme ones. First, the admissions team was so amazing and helpful. They worked with me from the beginning when we did not think my insurance would not cover my stay. They stuck with me when we finally got the agreement to come to the center as in network. I found out on a Friday I was coming in on Monday for sure. Even though we started all paperwork and home work a couple days before. It was a smooth process a little confusing on the homework but I made it through. My treatment team was some of the most amazing people I have had help me with my all encompassing issues. My primary helped me with family issues with my wife, Grief managment also to better understand my diseases of Bipolar and PTSD. Another team member was amazing in giving me tools to help with my anger and rage and helped me realize my main core value and that is to be a compassionate man. For all the groups with counselors I have not mentioned was amazing I finally have the tools I have been searching for. That was a journey of over 3 decades. One last person that has to be mentioned was my spiritual counselor. He was amazing he helped show me the path back to sprituality on October 11th just three days after my arrival. The best way to describe it was a true spirtual experience. My primary doctor was amazing. She was able to educate on diabetes care and other things I may not been as receptive as I need to be but going forward I have the information. The other doctor on my team was amazing to give me insight on many things one thing that stuck out was I had several manic episodes spanning a couple of days and he informed me the medication I was using for sleep worked wonders for those episodes.Thank you for saving my life, heart, and soul. more

The Center is an amazing place for healing. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or anything that's keeping you from living your best life, I encourage you to call The Center. The staff is incredible - so welcoming, caring, and professional. There's a reason this place has been around for over 30 years. You can feel their passion to help people find hope again. And the location is beautiful - near the water with gorgeous housing options! The downtown area is incredibly darling and quaint. I can't say enough about Dr. Jantz and the people at The Center. They create custom treatment programs just for you. If you need help, they will walk alongside you on a journey to restore your hope. more

Please read this if you are considering going to The Center! I went to The Center last year for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, I decided to stay 2 additions weeks to continue growing and learning. I didn't know what to expect. On my first day, getting out of my car I met a 6'8" guy who was also unloading his bags. Together we walked inside, went through the orientation, and began our journey. Today, that guy is one of my closest friends. On the first day I attended a men's class. I was comforted to meet men who were surgeons, business owners, former college athletes, engineers, salesmen, etc. During our first class the guys opened up, but only if they wanted to, and shared their struggles. I was so comforted to find men who were "highly successful" in the eyes of the world, but who had real struggles just like me. My roommate turned out to be a surgeon. We had a good time getting to know each other and going through the Center. We shared things we were learning and became good friends. Over 6 weeks I learned a lot of helpful tools. Thought record/feelings journal...I have used that tool for 17 months and it has significantly helped me grieve out my pain and slowly change my thoughts. I also learned about "living in the moment without judgement"...something I had never heard before. This has proven to be a great tool reducing anxiety in my life. Everyone who goes to The Center gets a team of professionals that are selected to meet their individuals goals and needs. My team was very good. They worked together to figure out what I was dealing with and the best treatment to help me. My life has changed dramatically since my first day. I’m not “fixed” or “perfect” but I have grieved out a lot of my pain, slowly changed my thinking, started cooking and eating better, lost weight, reduced my anxiety. During my 6 weeks I saw a few people who didn’t like it, but 95-97% loved it and glad to be there. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering it. GO TO THE CENTER! more

Very good experience. Amazing amount of helpful info for my addiction and depression. It has changed my life. more

Almost immediately I found my team to be very skilled, compassionate, and professional. Helped me immensely. Highly recommended. more

I enjoy The Center's alumni webinars on my iPad. In a nutshell, the information is easy to apply in daily life. The instructor teaches in a conversational down-to-earth way that is easy to follow and points out the path to take towards happiness and freedom. I take notes because much ground is covered. It would have been great to have had this knowledge in my twenties. I'm glad to have it now. The Center deserves more than 5 stars! more

As a young woman, I was struggling. I needed help working on my depression and anxiety to get it under control so that I could have a happy and healthy life. Everyone who works at the Center is truly amazing. My primary counselor was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and good about myself. I would absolutely recommend the Center. I'm so thankful for everything that was done for me here! more

The best thing about this program is the overall loving and encouraging atmosphere at the Center. I always felt supported and welcomed by the staff, counselors and other clients. Kudos to you guys for creating such a great healing environment. I loved the faith aspect of the program. More than anything else, I appreciate the fact that my faith has grown exponentially while I have been here. I also found the whole person approach beneficial as it addressed more than just my mental health. The family sessions were necessary. Really the overall program was beneficial. I want to thank the Center so much for all your help. You saved my life. more

I spent six weeks at The Center - A Place of hope for depression and anxiety. I worked with counselors who were very helpful. The doctors were also helpful. I was dealing with issues of emotional abuse and found great support from the staff and the others who were in treatment at the same time. The facility is very nice and the housing is beautiful. If you are willing to do what they suggest as professionals, you'll be successful in your recovery. I highly recommend it for anyone suffering from anxiety or depression or relationship issues. I learned a great deal about myself and was given tools to help me cope. I would say my stay was life saving. more

The Admissions Team was wonderful. Everyone was very helpful and professional. The information provided before I arrived gave me a good sense of what was going to be expected and covered during the first few days. My medical team was very professional and knowledgeable. I thought the entire team was wonderful. Dr. Jantz was personally a huge encouragement to me before arriving. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. Thank you. The investment in me will last forever, I believe. more

This place is very “culty”. I went here for free the first time for 2 weeks and since it was the only real time anyone ever explained my eating disorder to me I overlooked the fact that they are a christian rehab and I do not believe in gods. The second time I had insurance and stayed for more than 3 months! During my last few weeks I was growing more and more devastated because it wasn’t helping, and a therapist at the time named Karen Brown told me I was truely never going to get over my eating disorder until I accepted jesus and god into my heart and worshipped them. It was the most devastated and hopeless I had felt in a long time, it reminded me of what my old abusive family church used to do to me, and she knew my history with that which is why I was floored when she said it. I can’t begin to tell you what that did to me, to this day it still really upsets me. All their books that the owners writes and sells to you end with a final chapter telling you to believe in god as the answer, they do follow pretty much all normal phsychology (ish) but their gods are always the final answer for healing anything and everything. more

I feel like the authentic me for the first time in my life. I am grateful to everyone on my team for changing my life and helping me learn to love myself as I am. My experience at the Center was absolutely wonderful and life changing more

I am very grateful for what the Center has done for me and what I can do for my family. I would like to write a review for all the staff I have come into contact with but I unfortunately do not have the time. All of my group facility, my personal team, the ladies at the front desk, even the pictures on the wall when I was having a bad day. I am very grateful for the opportunity and the ability to extend the program. I am very grateful for the program that Dr. Jantz has designed and everything that goes into the making of everything behind the scenes. Thank you more

This place is amazing. I especially love how The Center integrates faith with healing while still using counseling, scientific techniques. My experience here was a gift from Jesus. Thank-you Dr. Jantz and everyone at The Center. Also- a shout out to the amazing women who work the front desk and to those in charge of scheduling. Your hard work is greatly appreciated! more

The admissions experience was excellent. I contacted The Center on the prior Tuesday and was admitted the follow Monday. They took care of the insurance and everything was seamless. The staff was great and the clients were so welcoming. Getting to root cause of my grief and anxiety and getting some tools to help me be able to deal with them were my primary goals. The treatment team was absolutely amazing. They were very helpful ensuring that my plan was addressed from my most important issue all the way down the list. Learning about self compassion, mindfulness and interpersonal skills and emotional regulation were aspects of the program that I found beneficial. This experience changed my life. I'm going home with a whole new outlook and tools and skills to deal with anxiety and interpersonal skills. more

Admissions was so friendly and made me feel right at home from the first moment we spoke - always available for any questions and always got back with me immediately. Everything was perfect! The treatment team was loving, kind, compassionate...they never gave up on me. Even when I dropped weight and it was suggested that I might need a higher level of care, they saw the fighting spirit and determination in me and believed in me and prayed with me and encouraged me to keep moving forward because I am worth it! I will never forget them! They helped me remove my mask and learn to be kind and compassionate to both my adult and child self. I am so thankful to each and every staff member at the Center. I felt drawn here from the moment I saw your website and knew this was where I was supposed to go for healing, even though it was so far away from home. This is truly a healing ministry that you offer and I am blessed that you chose me to be a client here. Thank you for believing in me and accepting me! more

My treatment team was the best there was out there. I am so blessed and feel so grateful for each and everyone of their personalities. My primary was the best possible thing for me. She gave me so much confidence and belief in myself. She got me to the core and pulled the issues right out of me. That woman is an angel from the heavens haha. Kristin was awesome, too. She was always ready to help me execute new plans for my life always had new ideas of what to do and how to do them well. A little more to the point, but also so sweet and I could tell she really cared about me. Mike W. is such a sweet man. He changed my trust and view of middle aged men. He gave me so many helpful tools to deal with my PTSD and anxiety, as well as capitalizing on my abilities to nurture my introversion rather than working against it. Highly recommended: The personalization of every client. The whole person approach. The groups and awesome topics we all got. I didn't realize how helpful this place was going to be. I think I expected it to be a bit more clinical. more

The Center is really amazing. My entire treatment team was very knowledgeable, helpful, caring, attentive to my needs and concerns. I needed a significant change in my life, and The Center gave that to me. I can't believe where I am in my journey today compared to where I was just four weeks ago. It sounds trite. but I feel like a new person. more

Thank you for saving my life, once again. Your holistic approach to emotional/substance abuse care is outstanding. I feel so humbled and blessed that The Center has been an integral part of my life twice. It is apparent you take your time in hiring new staff, as everyone is phenomenal and beneficial to the team(s). The community of support one is able to create at The Center is life changing. Thank you, thank you, thank you more
