This former client felt that Eden Hill was like a "second home" and commented on her experience there as "a very necessary, nurturing, and healing time." She lauded the effectiveness of the treatment she received, writing: "Some of the tools I left with we’re effective communication, the development and use of boundaries, healthy confrontation (or “care”from ration) and how to be a part of the solution instead of the problem."</p> <p>On Eden Hill's Facebook page (which Eden Hill can manage), the facility received an average rating of <strong>4.4 out of five stars based on seven reviews, six of which were perfect five-star ratings.</strong> All alumni commentary was positive: “Eden Hills saved my life. It gave me structure. Met fabulous people and the staff was loving and caring,” wrote Heidi in a representative review.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>As opposed to alumni feedback, the two loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave Eden Hills <strong>mostly negative feedback</strong>. C.J.K. reported that the facility used their debit card without authorization and wrote that staff was "not very responsive at returning phone calls and seeking amicable resolutions to unethical situations."</p> <p>J.G., the parent of a former client, found the facility to be very pricey and claimed it did not follow through with the treatment it promised for their daughter. "We were mislead," the parent wrote. "My daughter went against one of their rules & she was dismissed after a week. We were promised supervision of a staff member anytime she would go out of the premises, because she was the youngest one there but that was never followed up."</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The one current staffer surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave Eden Hill a positive review, awarding it mostly five out of five stars across 15 different evaluated metrics, including the facility’s willingness to put its clients’ interests first, its client loyalty, its staff’s leadership and experience, and its overall quality of executive management and leadership.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to Eden Hill’s website, the facility is self-pay only – insurance is not accepted.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/EdenHillRecoveryRetreat/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/EdenHillRecoveryRetreat/reviews/</a></small></p>
