Parent Testimonials

“This establishment truly saved my life. I had been to several hospitals in Texas and this was truly my last stop. I have suffered from bipolar disorder and anorexia since the age of 13, and I also had self-harm issues. My therapist’s dedication to my treatment is the reason I’m here today.”

“Our daughter needed help. We were anxious about placing her in a residential center after reading reviews of multiple centers online. However, our doctor recommended Meridell. From our first phone call, the staff at Meridell helped put us at ease. They walked us through the process and explained what we could expect. All the forms, handbooks, and checklists are available online. This helped us to quickly gather the information they needed. When there was an issue with the insurance, they quickly and efficiently resolved the issue. The doctors, nurses, counselors, and other staff were great. They listened to our concerns and coached us in ways to help our daughter. Fortunately, we were able to interact with the staff of her unit. It was evident they cared for the kids there. If any issues came up, they promptly called us. Our daughter is much improved after her stay. They worked to find a regimen of medication and taught her several coping mechanisms which has helped her to stay calm. Thanks to all of the staff at Meridell who cared for her and worked so hard to help our daughter.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Meridell. The communication was always there with the treatment team to answer questions. They allow families to make visits to their children, and they provide a charter school that gives students credits that are transferable. Meridell helped in so many ways.”

“We so appreciate everything you guys did for our son. We know that it was up to him to put in the work, but the environment you guys provide went a long way towards helping. You guys are amazing and you gave us our son back. Thank you!!!”

“Great calls at night with updates! They were very, very helpful.”

“I never thought my son would live at home or be able to go to school. Now he can! Forever grateful.”

“While my son was here, I met two parents and one former patient. Each one said Meridell saved their child’s and their own lives.”

“Meridell is a great facility! I want to express my gratitude from our family. All the departments were awesome. When I was searching for placement for my son, it was the parents I spoke to when I went to leave the admission packet that made me feel at ease. My son still has a long journey ahead, but it was the staff at Meridell that made the difference.”

“I cannot express my gratitude enough for the overall care of my son. It was different to leave him and go home, but when I spoke to him, the staff, the nurses, doctor and therapist, I always had a peace of mind that he was in good hands and was well cared for, and the plan in place was constantly being adjusted and met.”

“A very great experience. I can only begin to comprehend the logistics required for this place. It was all superb! Meridell has been exceptional. My therapist was outstanding through the entire process. The nurses were excellent as well. I would strongly recommend Meridell to any family going through the situation we have. We have hope like never before. Thank you to everybody!”
