I was institutionalized here back in September of 2025.
It was a great place, honestly, I enjoyed my experience and I am glad they were able to assist me in my struggles. I thank all the staff sincerely, particularly Parker and Crystal, you were amazing people. I’m actually in the process of documenting my stay in a journal (I’m quite a slow writer) and my experiences have also influenced my novel in which I have started writing after my stay. The ward was a great experience. While it was hard at first (How couldn’t it? it’s a brand new environment, one that I had never experienced anything like before) it did get better and I come to look back on my time in a positive light. Thank you, LPBHC, and it’s staff, you made my life better.
Dear, Jesse D.

As a parent my biggest concern is always communication. Lincoln never missed a beat. Haley his therapist and the rest of my son’s care team updated me every step of the way. My child’s safety is also always a concern and anytime I spoke with my son on the phone he always praised about how immediate the staff was to react to any situation. Lastly, about the food. Although as a parent this does not affect me, my son is a picky eater. Now I know each child that attends Lincoln will have their own opinion, but my son… read full review
i would highly recommend this facility. I brought my child here, he was in the program for almost 2 weeks an my child has come home with such a great mindset. Thank you for all that you do, and thank you for caring for my child when he needed it the most. The staff was very friendly an honest. I was a little worried about sending my child here but for my child's first time it was very beneficial. My child has came home with a better attitude, and mindset. Thank you for all that you have done for my child an our family.
