Gatehouse Academy

Although flawed in some cases. I spent 11 months at Gatehouse in 2004. This place changed my life. I’m alive today, and contributing to society in a positive manner. It’s a shame to see a place that focused on guiding troubled and confused teens to find paths in life that undoubtedly at least in my case, saved lives.
Gatehouse saved my life. And I hope that one day it will continue to do so.

This facility had five campuses closed due to non compliance with licensing standards. This company was laundering money and committing wire fraud which followed with an investigation and conviction of the previous criminal acts in a Wickenburg court of law. This company was extremely currupt and hired untrained abusive staff members. Their are countless violations, compliants, lawsuits and other serious concerns documented by the department of health. AZ officials closed over five campuses. I was seriously mistreated and lied to about the facilities ability to work with co occuring disorders. When I tried to speak up about fraudulent and criminal behavior committed by staff I was threatened. I could not leave this facility for the first three months because I had no ID and I was twenty miles out in the AZ dessert. I was not allowed to make a phone call for the first six weeks and when I was allowed it was closely monitored. All calls would be ended if I complained about the program. Please beware of any recovery home owned and operated by staff who worked for this company. I hold this company to the same set of standards as any other business providing healthcare except this company was providing care for a fatal disease. This facility was deemed abusive by multiple advocacy organizations including CEFTA and heal-online.org. This facility worked with minors diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. I hope this information is made public. The AZ attorney generals office deemed the program as "fraudulent". Don't believe me look it up yourself or call the department of health.
