The use of electronic devices, including cell phones, is prohibited.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The two alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com to date had opposing opinions of the facility. The first, an anonymous male between the ages of 40 and 59, reported having a negative experience and gave the rehab just one or two out of five stars for its cleanliness, its connectivity and visitor policy, its staff support, and its holistic offerings. He also gave the facility just two stars for its exercise and leisure activities and wrote: "You should be able to go outside and walk around, even prisoners get to go out once a day."</p> <p>In contrast, the second alum (who also participated anonymously) awarded the facility four or five out of five stars across most of the metrics they evaluated, including cleanliness, administrative and discharge procedures, treatment of co-occurring disorders, and staff's level of training and experience. "By being in there with people who had different problems and with similar experiences and different adult age groups it helped a lot with understanding myself," they noted.</p> <p>On Google<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, Sundance earned an <strong>average rating of 2.5 out of five stars based on 208 Google Reviews</strong>. With the exception of a small handful of comments from alumni such as Cheryl ("Therapist genuinely cared about patients and assisted each of us in growing and learning positive coping skills," she wrote), the comments from former clients were negative and included complaints about run-down facilities, poor customer service, problematic billing procedures, and rude staff.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave Sundance mostly <strong>positive feedback</strong>. Both indicated that they would recommend the facility to friends and family, and one awarded it five out of five stars in almost every metric evaluated, including family participation, cleanliness, counseling options, and the staff's level of training and experience. "Awesome faculty, Really good staff," they wrote.</p> <p>The other anonymous reviewer, whose former spouse attended treatment, gave the facility three and four out of five stars respectively for the overall quality of its addiction and mental health care, but noted that their loved one ultimately needed a program that was more specialized.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to Sundance's website, the facility accepts most insurance, including <strong>Medicaid</strong> and TriCare, for inpatient treatment.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Sundance+Behavioral+Healthcare+System+in+Arlington%2C+TX&oq=Sundance+Behavioral+Healthcare+System+in+Arlington%2C+TX&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59.178j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x864e638a660b60bb:0x8b51d35ec4252e03,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
