Center for Discovery – Glenview

This place was absolutely terrible. I left feeling much worse than when I arrived and was deeply traumatized by my experience there. The kitchen was frequently running out of food, which was extremely concerning for a… treatment center. I also felt that my therapist was constantly yelling at me and was very disrespectful toward the clients. She was eventually fired following a situation that left me horrified and caused me to lose trust in people. Throughout my entire time there, I never saw a dietitian. I was allowed to deteriorate while staff did very little, even when I was not eating or drinking. Overall, I did not feel safe, supported, or properly cared for, and I would not recommend this treatment center based on my experience.

KC parents: Would recommend to a friend, 10/10 satisfaction "staff is really nice and very professional" "best therapist of the world very professional" "everything all staff people is really nice and they explain any… question we have ."

My little sister went here, it was absolutely horrid, they ran out of food all the time and had the weirdest meals that were no where near good nutrition. The staff were so so rude and disrespectful to the kids there,… and they felt like prisoners there. I do not AT ALL recommend this place for any child struggling with any sort of eating disorder. Please please please reach out to somewhere more stable, helpful, and SUPPORTIVE because so many staff were never there. It was very difficult for her, DONT GO.

Worst experience of my life I did not make any progress here. Please think twice before sending a loved one here.

This place is absolutely terrible and treats people with eating disorders as prisoners. Never send someone going through an ed here EVER. It is absolutely horrible and unhelpful. Literally worst thing I have ever… experienced and I could tell it didn’t help the other patients either.

The worst place you could possibly go to be treated for a eating disorder. My old therapist got fired because she stood up for me when I had to be transferred to the hospital. When we run out of food, the operations… manager, Denise would say that we ate the food too fast and that the company was running out of money to buy us food. Me and the other girls that were there didn’t have a in person dietitian for a month. Staff was very rude, especially Rye who was just absolutely terrible and made me and a lot of the other patients feel very uncomfortable. They got rid of the one amazing staff who actually cared about us. Sometimes the staff would purposely give us more food than what was on our strict meal plan. Overall this place was an absolute nightmare and I am so proud of everyone who went through that. PLEASE NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU WANT THEM TO GET BETTER!

i went here when i was 16 and i thought it was hell on earth. years later there is only one facility in my life that hasn’t left me with nightmares and it is this one. i cook with the skills i learned there and it… helped me get confident in the kitchen before i returned home. tomorrow marks half way through my first week of college. i didn’t think i’d make it, but here i am

Amazing staff, so warm and welcoming

Therapist Lexi cares deeply about her patients and takes her job very seriously. Would highly recommend.

great therapists!

Couldn’t have recovered without them ❤️.

Great staff. My sister came back with a whole different view on life.

My daughter made great change and improvements during her time at the facility. The staff is kind and helpful and the facility is a wonderful place for treatment. Taylor is a fantastic therapist.

I honestly think this place is inhumane. They treat you like prisoners here. If you have a family member or friend going through an eating disorder, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT Send them here. They do not treat you… individually, they treat everyone as one. If one person makes a mistake, everyone gets the blame. I wouldn’t recommend this form of treatment to anyone. Outpatient is the way to go. Who thought sending a loved one to live with of bunch of people with eating disorders is a good idea?? This place should be shut down. Period.

I loved this place so much, it was the best treatment I have ever received. I had Taylor as my therapist and I could not have wished for someone better. She was extremely understanding and easy to talk too. She helped… me through my recovery in so many ways. Taylor is outstanding and I was so happy she could be my therapist. Grace was the dietician and I have always struggled with finding a dietician that I like. But Grace amazed me she was very kind and easy to work with. She is the best dietician I have ever had and I would recommend her a million times. This place helped me so much and it is definitely the best treatment I could imagine.

this place genuinely saved my life. the staff are amazing and so understanding. i had taylor as my therapist and i couldn’t be more grateful for her. every person that was there felt like family to me

If you or a loved one is struggling with an ED then this is a great place to go to. I was here for around 8 weeks and I had such a great experience. The staff here is so amazing and welcoming. I had Adrianne as my… therapist and she is so sweet and supportive. She is always there when you need her. Adrianne never gave up on me no matter how hard things got. Taylor the other therapist ran really good groups and is so sweet. Grace the dietitian is so knowledgeable. She is so kind, funny and always wants what is best for you. Out of all the dietitian’s I have had, Grace is by far the best. She will believe in you until you can believe in yourself. Anna the milieu manager (or as we like to call her the milieu momager) is always there for her patients. She listens to them and will always be there rooting for them. Kathleen the clinical director led such great process groups. She is always there to listen. Where do I even begin with the counselors. Holly is so great. She also never gave up on me. Through some of my darkest times, holly was there to pick me back up. Rachel is so fun to hangout with. She’s so nice and is so encouraging. Amber is the sweetest person ever. She’s always there to check in with you and makes sure that you are okay. Audrey is such a great counselor. She never failed to make me smile and laugh. We created some really good memories that I will never forget. She is so supportive and will always be cheering you on. I am so glad that I went to glenview CFD. I can confidently say that this place saved my life. Thank you so much to my CFD family for always believing in me even when I couldn’t believe in myself. You all will always have a special place in my heart.

I would give you a 0, but that's not possible so I give you a 1. MOTHERS- DO NOT SEND YOUR DAUGHTERS HERE, unless you want to further traumatize them. The staff are all incredibly inexperienced and quite frankly-… IGNORANT. These people are liars. I assume the insurance companies pay a pretty penny to this company to keep their patients for way longer than needed. My sister described this place as being "like a personal hell" and "like jail." STEER CLEAR.
