Visitation is offered for three hours each weekday and for six hours per day on weekends. </p> <p>There is currently no further information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings. However, one alum surveyed by Rehabs.com gave the facility a two out of five-star rating for accommodations and amenities, a four-star rating for meals and nutrition, and a five-star rating for cleanliness.</p> <p><strong>REVIEWS</strong></p> <p>The sole alum polled by Rehabs.com at time of writing gave a <strong>generally negative review</strong> and indicated that they would not recommend Danville State Hospital to others. The anonymous alum was critical of the way the facility handled patient placement, particularly the way the facility placed adolescents and adults in the same rooms.

B.A. wrote: “This is supposed to be a hospital to treat mental illness instead they just give the patients a place to live...Patients hit, spit, yell threaten you all the time nothing is done about it.” Reviewer J.K. corroborated that viewpoint, and wrote, “My friend got sent there by her parents, treatment was disgraceful.” </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by Danville State Hospital regarding its costs. Clients are encouraged to contact the facility directly for additional information regarding the cost of treatment.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a><a href="https://goo.gl/6dV9an" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/6dV9an</a></small></p>
