EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on BrandyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Hillside Horizon for Teens. This program has been a true lifeline for our family and an incredible resource for teen boys navigating mental health challenges. From the very start, it was clear that this facility was built with care, structure, and heart. The environment at Hillside Horizon for Teens’s boys’ house is one of understanding, consistency, and growth. The boys are treated with dignity and are truly seen for who they are—not just their behaviors. There’s a strong focus on teaching accountability, emotional regulation, and life skills that set these young men up for long-term success. Director Victor leads with a clear passion for the work being done here. His dedication to both the youth and his team is evident in every interaction. He fosters a culture of respect, progress, and compassion—something you don’t always find in this field. Justin, the house lead, has been nothing short of amazing. He brings a calm, grounded energy that the boys respond to. You can tell he truly cares about each individual and works hard to create a safe, structured environment where growth is not only encouraged but expected. Overall, Hillside Horizon for Teens is more than just a program—it’s a place where boys can find hope, healing, and a path forward. I’m incredibly grateful for the work they do.Posted on Elizabeth KereluikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a great experience with Hillside Horizon for Teens. If you are considering sending a loved one for help this is the spot.Posted on Angela CasellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Hillside in Orange County. From the very first phone call to our final point of contact, the communication from the staff was outstanding. The level of care they provided was truly exceptional. As a parent going through such a challenging time, you need a place that genuinely cares, and Hillside absolutely does. From the beginning, they focused on understanding my son as a person. The program offered just the right balance of structure, therapy, and quiet time. They treated him with dignity and compassion, helping him work through what he was experiencing. He learned a great deal there and now has the tools to navigate life. They have helped to bridge a solid foundation and give my son the confidence he needs to shine. He is not "fixed" but that is not the expectation. The expectation is that he can sail on his own now. There may be some big swells he needs to overcome, but he can batten down the hatches with conviction. We were very involved throughout the process, and the collaborative approach made a big difference. The variety of therapeutic modalities, the presence of a chef, and the focus on celebrating small wins: all of it made a meaningful impact on our entire family. What really stood out was their professionalism and the consistently high standard of care, communication, and kindness. Honestly, it was above and beyond anything we expected. My only wish is that Hillside offered a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), so my son could have seamlessly transitioned into that level of care with them. Their customer service was so exceptional that I now find myself comparing his PHP to Hillside. They truly set the bar high. If you’re in a similar situation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hillside for your child. They don’t just care for the kids, they care for the whole family.Posted on Maggie BarkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hillside was an amazing place for my son. I can’t speak highly enough on the amount of care this place offered for my son. I was soo scared in the beginning, but from the minute he was excepted to the day he was released they showed an abundance of care for my sons success through there amazing program. I wish this program could be offered closer to where we live. The need for more places like this program is soo needed in the central and northern end of California. I would love to help get this established in our much needed area. Please don’t hesitate to send your child here. Be rest assured they will do every thing they can to help achieve what is needed for your child like they did for mine. Huge shout out to your amazing staff. There are so many to name all but to the main one that stuck out the most since day one was Jeremiah! You deserve a huge raise. Thanks for be there since day one, and coached my son through it all. You are a star. Please never let this employee leave as he is a valued employee who truly cares. Nurse Kat! You are Amazing! Thanks for making me feel so at ease knowing my child never missed his medicines and always kept me in the loop for his medicine changes. Thank you to the program director Victor! Your Amazing! To making us feel reassured the day we left our son in your hands. To an amazing chef! My son spoke so highly on your amazing food. The mental health clinician's.

Had a great experience with Hillside Horizon for Teens. They really stepped up and helped me with my son in a way that no other place had before. It was the right amount of structure and the staff is really supportive! He’s home now and doing much better!! Really couldn’t be happier with them.Posted on Jessica PeeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was so scared when sending my daughter to residential, as this would be her first time away from home. Luckily, all the staff made me feel comfortable and that my daughter was in good hands! From the team in admissions to the team on site, I was always in the loop every step of the way. I am also grateful that my daughter was able to catch up on school, while being in treatment! Very grateful for everything Hillside has done for my family and I!Posted on Tiffiny KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming all the way across the country from Maryland to California seeking treatment for our son and trusting the team at Hillside was hard for us to do. From the start of our journey to the end, the team members at Hillside made sure all of our questions were answered and always kept us up to date on our son’s progress. Their dedication to the children in their care is second to none and we would highly recommend anyone seeking help for their child to consider their services.Posted on Vanessa MercadoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
