Prairie St. John's

I don't understand the low reviews because my experience was incredible. Prairie's CD IOP program was truly life-changing for me. The structure, support, and accountability helped me build a strong foundation in my recovery. The program challenged me in the best ways while also creating a safe and supportive environment. My counselor, Dawn, was exceptional. She was incredibly supportive while also being tough when I needed it most. Her knowledge, honesty, and ability to ask the right questions helped me gain real insight into my patterns and behaviors. She held me accountable without judgment and genuinely cared about my progress. I am grateful for the skills, awareness, and confidence I gained through this program. I would highly recommend Prairie St. John’s IOP to anyone seeking meaningful, effective support in their recovery journey.

Prairie has been a very good experience for me. I did PHP both programs then started the outpatient IOP program at supportive housing. The staff has been very supportive and I'm very grateful to be 4 months 2 days clean. I got into school and got a job and started both after ten years of using I've made it back to healthy and happy. Thank you guys! Josh, Dawn, Ally, Jen, Monaya, Amanda, And Karla!! I am close to getting a new apartment and getting my boys back!!! 👇 That's yeti bear. I'm working towards getting him back. Without prairie none of this would of been possible

Poor communication with parent/guardian. Will send youth on their way without going over discharge plans. Staff discharging my child told me I could not ask any questions about medications or anything in the discharge plan. It was above his pay grade and shrugged when I asked who could answer my questions. They did not provide any individual therapy for my child and they were there for a month. I requested to speak to a nurse that COULD answer my questions. They only offered the front desk phone and I was put on hold 3x and they could not tell me much. There was an extra medication on the discharge list and they didn't know if it was an error or if my child had been taking the medication. They need to do better! I am adding to this review: My son had a sore on his inner finger upon discharge on 12/5. I don't know if this caused by the hand soap as my son said or what, but the nursing staff should have informed me and applied a band aid at the very least. This was my son's 5th stay here since mid July..... they have no issue taking patients for the money and not providing mental health services to those they serve.

I've been to Prairie St. Johns more than my share times for over 30 years. I was here off and on recently in the spring, summer and fall in 2024 and I'm I've back again for the past 3 weeks. I must say everytime I come back staff is so welcoming and non judgemental. From the staff at PHP and Supportive Housing and patients I don't know where I'd be. Everytime I come back I learn something new about myself. I would highly recommend Prairie to anyone with addiction and or mental health struggles.

I have not attended but 1 week in this program and i really dont have much to say. If there was anything that you wanted to know, it would be. Give this program a chance and you to would want to stay! I like it and im going to complete it because it matters to me that i become successful in my recovery and maintain a sobor life to be happy again.

I have been here at Share house for a while . When I came in I was broken, the staff helped me find me day by day ! Anything I need they help me with or find the means to help me get it . I love the way the groups are set up . The PhP houses are very home and comfortable. I love to go and chat with all the staff it makes my day. I love that there is room to grow along at Prairie St.johns . Thanksgiving prior weall got together and made meals . On the weekends asking to play games or some projects we all work on . Then having some meetings we have back at the PhP main building

i was put on an involuntary hold for 72 hours and was never informed that the weekends werent actually counted so they would have kept me for a full five days instead of the 72 hours if i wasn’t capable of seeing a doctor on monday that was very understanding about my situation and got me out of there that day. The first day i was there, i was forced to get completely undressed in front of a lady that i later found nodding off multiple times throughout the day. i was brought to the 2nd floor unit and given a room that was covered in urine and feces and later i took the bed apart and found a poo "puddle" in between the wood and the mattress due to the tech named Unma(i think) being too negligent to actually clean the room properly. I started to freak out because there were hours that all the nurses kept telling me they can’t do anything about the smell and never tried to fix it. The lady that brought me to the unit ended up having to clean it and there were multiple times that i would walk in there and she would be holding a wipe in the air nodding off. I asked all the patients on the unit if it was normal and they’d just shrug it off like it’s not new. I was finally sent upstairs to the 3rd floor where the nurses and patients were genuinely concerned for me and helped me in anyway possible. i had multiple nurses tell me that they were down in the 2nd floor unit that day and yelled at the head nurse abraham because he was there all day and nothing was being done. my mom even had lots to say about him because he would put her on hold for 5 minutes anytime she’d ask him to repeat something because he was so hard to understand on the phone. The first doctor i was allowed to see was a man that basically told me womp womp, shouldn’t have done what you did and you wouldn’t be here. like duh but you’re not capable of being professional with people who need understanding and respect and that is why he’s only a weekend doctor, thank god. Whoever is in charge of hiring these people, you need to be fired yourself because if you are willingly hiring people who aren’t capable of caring for others, you are being just as negligent as the tech that didn’t clean the bed. i have made complaints to mr. thurmond and i will never allow anyone i love or know to be sent here without me being able to contact them and i hope you would do the same. i met so many people in there and i genuinely hope they get the hell out of there and never have to see the walls of this building ever again. this place is not somewhere to heal, it has left me with night terrors and way more trauma than i came in with. Prairie st. john’s is the worst and it needed to be demolished and never rebuilt. you can always destroy the trauma of the old building, but y’all can never destroy the traumas that human beings have to endure in this hell hole. i can understand that some people see that place as home, but as someone who has a very loving and supportive home, i can never call that place a safe space. there were lots of great nurses and the doctor that helped me get out of there that aren’t apart of the 1 star but there’s way too many things that clouded how well they treated me. whoever is running this place should genuinely be ashamed in not being able to actually give the care that people need and y’all allow the neglect and that’s the worst part. this is not a mental health facility, this is a jail and i had multiple people compare it to such. fix ur training for staff, fix ur doctors, and fix the attitudes because i know damn well my horrible situation is definitely not the first and i doubt it will be the last, but i know i will never have to be in this place again. Already making complaints against the doctor who sent me here and finally able to speak on the horrible things i went through in this place without breaking down. you have done nothing but caused people with pain, more pain and suffering.
