EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Brandy2025-06-19Trustindex 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’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 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.

LeeAnn Savage2025-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely pleased with the program and the staff at this facility. Eric Nesper2025-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Facility with amazing staff. We had a great experience with Hillside Horizon. If you are considering sending a loved one for help this is the spot. Angela Casella2025-06-03Trustindex 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. Maggie Barker2025-05-09Trustindex 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. Your amazing zoom weekly family sessions. Keeping us in the loop in our sons progression. Thank you to all the amazing staff. There are so many to name off. You all know who you are and all played a huge role in my sons success. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!💖 Angela2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with Hillside Horizon. 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. Jessica Peele2025-04-26Trustindex 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! Tiffiny Knight2025-03-05Trustindex 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.

"I am truly grateful to Hillside for the treatment my daughter experienced. From the very first phone call to the last therapy session and everything in between, our family has felt cared for, supported, and encouraged. My daughter was treated with kindness, care and dignity and was never defined by her illness, struggles or behaviors...Thank you, Hillside Horizon!"
"First of all, no one can tell me that the owner, Anthony, is not a Godsend! Like a literal Angel on earth. This man went above and beyond to ensure that our family had the opportunity to get the help we so desperately needed. He offered empathy and resolve when it felt like everywhere else there were barriers. I’m so glad that someone referred me to his program. I will forever be grateful for Hillside Horizon."
"My daughter went to Hillside in late August; right before she turned 13. She was there for about 45 days and the only reason she left “early” was because I had to get her back in school here in MD... I could list out so many positive people who have impacted my daughters life in the best way, but I just truly want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of your facilities, I feel like I have MY girl back. Because someone FINALLY listened and didn’t see dollar signs over her mental health, my daughter is able to be the person who we all knew she could be."
"Hillside Horizon treated my daughter very well. The leadership and staff were knowledgeable and communicated well with us. My daughter gained a lot of knowledge and learned to love herself as well as others throughout her stay at Hillside. Thank you all for opening your doors and helping my daughter through her rough journey...."
"So happy that I found Hillside for my boys. My boys went through a tough time, divorce, smoking pot, new friend groups that weren’t the best of kids… we all know that teens are hard no matter what!!! To have a team of professionals, especially Felicia (clinical director) help out our family made it so much easier. The owner, Anthony really cared about my boys and their treatment- it was never based on the money or what I had to pay, it was always focused on patient care and having healthy, happy teens in the end....Can’t say enough positive things about Hillside Horizon. Love the entire team and my boys did too! Thanks for always making me feel like I had the support as a mom..."
