On Yelp<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small>, Snowden at Fredericksburg received two one-star ratings, along with a single five-star rating. </p> <p>Across the three sites, the majority of former clients who left feedback described the programs as ineffective and <strong>lacking in therapy and activities</strong>. "Snowden was a joke for mental health patients. I was there 4 days n i had 3 group sessions. No 1 on 1," Wilma wrote on Google in a representative review.

He added: "I enjoyed the groups, especially art therapy."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave the facility mixed feedback. Both awarded the rehab four or five out of five stars for its connectivity and visitor policies, its counseling options, and its administrative and discharge procedures. And one, a 40-to-59-year-old female, also gave the rehab five stars for its staff's level of training and experience and wrote: "Professionals, patient oriented but its costly. Good experience care with results."</p> <p>The other loved one, an 18-to-25-year-old-female, gave Snowden at Fredericksburg just two stars for its family participation, and complained that there was not enough comfortable visiting space and that follow-through was poor.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Mary Washington Healthcare offers some financial assistance, which is determined according to the client’s family income. The center also accepts <strong>private insurance</strong> and self-payment.
