Summitstone Health Partners - Garcia House's Online Review Report Card

Terrible terrible company. Started off small and wonderful and then capitalism got to em' and they've exploded into multiple different locations, even creating a new psychiatric hospital for Larimer County. Their psychiatrists are awful. Their therapists are "ok". If you want real healthcare and people who are actually professional, use UCHealth. And their current crisis center is in shambles. The staff there are wonderful and kind. The psychiatrists are clueless and will throw the most harmful meds at you first like Depakote or Seroquel. They even convinced me last year not to do ketamine therapy. I ended up consulting my UCHealth Psychiatric DNP, and she immediately approved ketamine treatment. And I'm glad it did because it saved my life, no thanks to SummitStone. Their mental health resources are poor. Their mental health "clubhouse" in town is in tatters as well. I had an incident occur there that caused the diagnosis of cPTSD. Nothing was changed. We never got Zoom phones like promised for over 1.5 years, no panic buttons, nothing. Shame on you, SummitStone. Your lack of care has hurt me and it's hurting my best friend currently who is under your care.

Having an addiction in today's world is more common and prevalent than most people know. It's a disease that causes many difficult and different experiences, for not only the individual, but the family unit, economy, community, and more. However, after searching for appropriate care for myself and my family, I found Summit Stone Healthcare, whose team actually treated the entire situation and the whole person, instead of grouping people together and using a "blanket" treatment. They have amazing resources for every situation, from child care, housing, food and even employment. One counselor said "if your therapist is your only resource, we're not doing it right." I found some extremely effective counselors, particularly Angela Conly, who puts so much effort into being down to earth, compassionate and encouraging to each client and treats us like the snowflakes we are. It's extremely clear that she has an enormous passion for what she does, and excudes joy in her approach. Learning from her has taught me to be grateful in my life again. I'm truly blessed to have her, and the whole team at Summit Stone, supporting my sobriety and life-long goals.

The first sense you get is the staff are as messed up as the inmates, or perhaps that they’re perfectly suited to their work. There was a therapist I saw, at the end of a day of poking and prodding, who was prescient and direct. You do find sometimes in this life a happy meeting between needs and services. Overall there’s well over two staff members for every client housed at the facility. Garcia House’s raison d’être seems more about keeping staff in work and bilking insurance companies than it does fixing people. What you do learn is how to wait and how to work the system. A successful graduate will have free housing lined up, or will be the recipient of a Colorado lifetime voucher for the same. There’s nothing wrong with expanding the social net, especially for those facing special challenges — mental or physical. But this approach is backward. It elevates in importance the provider, or the conduit to services, above that of the recipient. You’re taught to present as one with certain afflictions. If you’re a certain demographic, if a very specific thing is wrong with you… Sure you can argue there are categories of people who are overlooked, but to then construct a system that only serves them is as backward as only serving an elite. CAP does this. If you’re HIV positive, you’re in a special class. Free housing for people who practice unsafe sex. In China there are brand new cities that are empty. Russia had special numbered cities to build secret things. Here you can imagine cause you’ve heard about the government using loophole spending from a no line-item budget to construct a complex for an unspecified but exotic threat to mankind, complete with plush accommodations for the directors. Just like you can make money when stocks go down, you can make bad investments, you can buy tax losses. There are in the suburbs multimillion dollar developer-built spec homes that sit empty until a very particular purchaser passes by. My question is, who is García House built for?

I highly recommend Garcia House! Brianna was very helpful and kept me on track getting my paperwork submitted properly. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her help! My 2 hour phone screening was very comfortable and I believe I was speaking with Aaron but, if I’m wrong. The gentleman was very caring, compassionate, and gave me lots of hope! Garcia House would get a 100 star rating if it were available to post. Also, I’m really looking forward to checking in tomorrow and begin taking the steps I need to take to get my life back! Whoever reads this, may you be blessed and be assured that Garcia House will save your life!!!

Terribly disappointed with this facility, specifically Aaron Hill. We tried to get my partner the professional mental help she needs, hoping Garcia House would be the facility. Was told repeatedly Aaron was given the wrong number after not hearing from them for weeks. Yet, Aaron left TWO voicemails regarding TWO separate patients on our voicemail. I called to speak with the director, and left her a voicemail about the status. I told other staff that we did not want to speak with Aaron, as we didn't trust his knowledge. We never received a call from the director, and never was able to speak with anyone else. Aaron was the only means of communication. This facility is a joke, and we wonder why there is a mental illness problem in this country.
