Villa Fairmont Mental Health Center

I was in Villa Fairmont several years ago and while it may have had some problems, it was a place that helped me stabilize in a safe location until I was accepted in a Dual Diagnosis Recovery Home (Bonita House). I currently work in the recovery field and live an independent life. To me that is worth all of the struggles that I have had with any of the programs I have been in. Gotta go through hell before you get to heaven. That's just the way it is when you have a diagnosis that isn't socially acceptable... The system may not be perfect and there is certainly lots of broken components, but we need some kind of system and it does work for some. I know because I'm one.

I was in this facility 2 years ago and I found it to be a great place. The doctor and nurses were all very kind and patient. I spent 5 days there and I have even recommended this hospital as a good place to get help . For a County facility it was always kept clean, and the food was pretty good. Each patient attends short meetings that relate to their individual issues. But it has been 2 years...........maybe things have changed............everyone has different experiences
