  • Alana S.

    Lotus Behavioral Health has been caring for our communities teenagers for the last couple of years. They are one of the very few organizations that I trust wholly with caring for our youth. They do an excellent job. Patient care, atmosphere and leadership is second to none in the adolescent mental health space.

  • Lyn Ju G.

    I've been fortunate to witness the positive impact Lotus and their work has in the community. It's clear that they genuinely care about helping people and providing support during some of life's most challenging moments. The team is dedicated, compassionate, and focused on creating a welcoming environment where adolescents can get the help they need. It's always great to see an organization making a real difference, and Lotus Behavioral Health has been doing exactly that.

  • Dorothy S.

    I cannot find the words to express how wonderful Lotus Behavioral Health was for my child. We had tried other programs without success. Then, we were referred to Lotus and from the moment we arrived, I was moved by the amount of compassion and caring that the staff had for us as a family. It took some time and work to get to a point of recovery, it was worth it. If you ever find yourself needing these kinds of services, don't waste any more time. The staff at Lotus is amazing and will work with you to help your child. I cannot thank them enough for getting us through a really rough time.

  • Kiki C.

    Lotus provided wrap around treatment and acceptance for my teen when I was not able to help him at home. We are so grateful for the progress he made while he was there. He can be a handful, and they approached his individual needs with care and compassion in a safe environment. By the time my teen was discharged, he truly cared for each and every one of the staff and leaving was bittersweet.

  • Lenna C.

    I'm so incredibly grateful for Lotus Behavioral Health. The staff was truly amazing—caring, supportive, and professional every step of the way. The group therapy sessions were not only helpful, but also enjoyable for her , creating a space where she felt safe, heard, and understood. The other kids were kind and encouraging, and the therapists were outstanding—compassionate, skilled, and truly invested in each teen's growth. I'm beyond happy with the progress and commitment my teen has shown since starting there. She has grown into a stronger, more self-aware, and confident individual. Thank you, Lotus, for helping my teen become the best version of herself:)

  • Susie Q.

    What a wonderful experience! Thank you to the caring people of Lotus for loving our family through a tough time. Every single staffer interacted with our teen in a fashion that helped him think about things differently. Every. Single. Person. Our teen loved the experience there. We could not recommend this facility highly enough. Thank you, Lotus.

  • Clint B.

    Lotus Behavioral Health is an excellent treatment center if you have a teen struggling with addiction. Instead of seeing this as a setback or obstacle, LBH turns this issue into an opportunity to educate our teens on the dangers of addiction and how to become better, responsible people. My son returned a changed and improved young man. He was open to the program, which is important if you want this to succeed.

  • Bo M.

    This was the last rehab facility I ever attended after going in and out of treatment centers since I was around 15 years old. Out of all the facilities I've experienced, Lotus was by far the best when it came to providing genuine care, effective treatment, and a true understanding of what individuals are going through. The staff treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism, and they created an environment where real healing and growth could take place. The support I received helped me gain the tools and perspective I needed to move forward in my life. I would highly recommend Lotus to any parent whose child is struggling with addiction or other serious challenges. If you're looking for a facility that truly cares about its clients and is committed to helping them succeed, Lotus is a place worth considering.

Referral Questions From Professionals

How quickly can a referred teen be admitted?

Every family is different, but we move as fast as the family is ready to, starting with a pre-screen and insurance check. See our admissions process.

Does a teen need substance use to be referred?

Yes. Lotus always requires some form of substance use, including vaping or nicotine, usually with co-occurring mental health needs.

Can you take a teen stepping down from a psychiatric hold or hospital stay?

Yes. Many of our teens come to us after a psychiatric hold; call admissions and we'll talk through the case.

Does Lotus do detox?

No. If a teen needs detox first, we help arrange it and plan the admission to Lotus afterward. Here's how to know if a teen needs detox.

Do you take Medicaid or Medicare?

Not yet. Call us anyway and we'll help the family find the right program; see the insurance plans we accept.

Will you keep me updated on the teen's progress?

Yes, with the family's consent, during treatment and at discharge.

Can you admit a court-involved teen or a Marchman Act case?

Yes, as a voluntary admission. Lotus is private, so teens can't be court ordered here, but we work with court-involved teens and Marchman Act families.
