Testimonials & Reviews

After having to leave school because of covid and an increasing struggle with his depression and anxiety we honestly felt so hopeless as a family. We found AMFM and the entire experience was SUCH A RELIEF. The admissions process was clear cut and professional. Their covid precautions are top notch and make you feel safe. I see a lot of negativity about the phone policy and outings. I guess people are unaware we are in a global pandemic. We were very pleased that our brother/son would be focusing on his treatment rather than on his device all day. The staff explained everything to us and the therapy he received was so so helpful. He can function and is happy and participate in life in a way we haven't seen in years! Thank you AMFM!

I had been caring for my niece and honestly didn't understand what I was getting into. AMFM was a god send and were able to help her with her mental health, better than I could have imagined. They taught her how to cope with her depression and set her up with a care team after she left! I can't say enough about this program!

Amazing place! From the compassionate staff to the comfortable environment, every aspect exceeded my expectations. They provided a safe space for healing and I highly recommend AMFM to anyone seeking compassionate and effective mental health treatment.

I will be forever grateful for AMFM and everything it has done for me personally. As a broken individual without hope, it equipped me with invaluable tools and understanding which gave me the chance to live a life filled with purpose and meaning. Cannot thank you guys enough for the support that reshaped my future.

Our son is 23 and has both mental illness and substance abuse issues. His problems derailed his life and education as he went through a series of rehabs and mental facilities. We had reached the end of our rope when Dr. James Tracy, a national expert on dual diagnosis, sent us to AMFM. The staff are highly trained and motivated. It's clearly more than a job for these folks and the facility has to be seen to be believed....a very special environment. We aren't delusional and we know that our son has to proceed day by day with his recovery. A Mission for Michael is a lifeline and my wife and I can't say enough about the staff. This is a place where they understand your loved one and will have expectations of progress and lots of accountability. Than you AMFM!

I could not have asked for a better experience to get my mind and life back in order. I will be grateful for the staff and this opportunity for the rest of my life. I have a second chance at life.

My adult daughter suffered a severe traumatic psychotic break and was hospitalized (involuntarily) for 7 days. She was about to be released and we needed to immediately find an Intensive Residential Treatment facility to transfer her to based on the advice of the attending psychiatrist at the hospital. All of this was new to us. Our daughter was still very much suffering, confused and in denial. In her altered state of mind at the time, she did not believe she was being helped (quite the opposite actually) and wanted to refuse any additional treatment. By the grace of God, we found A Mission for Michael and in particular, Trey Napoli in Admissions. He quickly arranged for a smooth transition and in a matter of hours our daughter was on her way to AMFM. Every single day, her caring clinical team worked with my daughter on recovery. Every single day my daughter *chose* to stay another day (she could have left at any time). Today my daughter has transitioned to IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) and is continuing her recovery day by day. I am forever grateful to Trey and the staff in the Intensive Residential Program. I do not believe our daughter would be with us today if it weren't for this team of professionals. Our journey has not been without its bumps and AMFM is not perfect, but we are eternally grateful, as the things that really mattered were done extremely well. I highly recommend A Mission for Michael's Intensive Residential Treatment Program. Shout out to Stefanni G, our daughter's therapist. She was kind, caring, dedicated and always made time for us. Shout out to Yassi O, our daughter's case manager. She had a tough job! Shout out to Kelvin at the front desk. He was always kind, professional and extremely courteous towards us, even as our daughter thought she was "against us" during her altered state of mind. And shout out again to Trey Napoli, without whom none of this would have happened. Really and truly, thank you to all at AMFM. Your work is very much appreciated.

I am the mother of an adult child who has suffered with mental illness since she was young. She is presently in treatment at A Mission for Michael. This review is my opinion of their admission process. From my first inquiry, Bruce has been my angel. He spent a long time on the phone with me answering endless questions and learning about my daughter. However, my daughter refused treatment for days and days. Bruce checked in with me every couple of days. Their intake coordinator made 4 phone calls until my daughter decided to talk to her/him. She agreed to go to treatment once she believed she could not live with me. All this to say, A Mission for Michael never gave up on my child. OK, you might say they just wanted the money, but get this, they even helped me find other resources! She is in treatment now, and I'm praying that something gets to her soul and spirit to make the most of this admission.
