Center for Discovery – Wellington Drive, Fairfield

The dietician here, Dakota is absolutely amazing and truely cares about every client. Unfortunately there were some staffing issues and nurses that would come in not trained. The daily techs did amazing supporting the… clients and there was a lot of support in the environment. Carlene is the heart of this place and there are definitely more that helped my recovery.

I really enjoyed my time here though it was cut short (insurance) . Best residentially facility i’ve been to. Dakota (RD) is such a sweetie pie and cares so much about each patient there.

Yall, it was so great that I went again !! 😭

The doctor at this facility is on a power trip and goes against the word of the therapist against the words of social workers against the word of even other doctors in real hospitals. They do not care about patients and… may have just caused the death of someone they could have saved. I am utterly disgusted by lies and manipulation at this facility. If this is your last option this place will hurt you and your close ones mentally and emotionally. Therapist here is good but talking to them means nothing if a random doctor can have more of a say then someone constantly working with the paitents. I did not attened this place myself but followed closley what was happening and am shocked by failure after failure this place puts their paitents through.

Do not recommend this place at all! They where so short staffed that patients could not get medications they needed, they also ran out of clients medications and doctors where unreachable. This place is not safe!

Please do not come to this location. First, the program manager, tracy, is mean and does not care about you. She doesn't engage with the patients at all, not even a 'Hi' when she walks through. She is disrespectful to… clients and does not seem to have any one's best interest at heart due to the fact that she discharged people way before they are ready mentally, and even physically! She claims that they can not be a long term treatment center so you have to be sent home at the 6 week mark that. When I asked for another week or two I was given so much push back and no one seemed to care. I did not get the extra time... Then there is the therapists. My therapist, Nicole, is barely educated on eating disorders and she was just a horrible therapist. She also just didn't seem to really care and she just had a style that did not work for anyone. Then there was the level system. They did not care about your recovery or anything, they didn't move you up because of the tiniest things. That were not related to recovery! The people on your treatment team, therapist, dietitian, psychiatrist, and doctors, never communicated. Tracy had all the power, even though she wasn't the one working with you. If anyone other than Tracy and Nicole didn't want you to leave yet, that sucked you were still going to leave. However, the dietitian, Dakota, was amazing. She would do anything for us and cared so much about us. She ALWAYS came and said good morning INDIVIDUALLY to everyone. She cared so much about you really wanted the best for you. There wasn't much wrong with CFD as a whole. It could have been better but it could have been worse. However the providers at this location made it absolutely miserable.

This place is absolutely amazing. Can’t say enough good things about it. If you need help this is the place to go

when i was at cfd wellington, it truly changed my life. the staff who was there at the time was always so gentle and patient with me but most importantly they treated me like a human and not a patient. the staff… constantly encouraged me and pushed me to do things i was afraid of and i will never forget all they’ve done for me.

I went to CFD Wellington from mid-December 2017 - late January 2018, and CFD helped cure my eating disorder for good and completely changed my life. I could truly trust the staff and this environment was the most… nurturing ED treatment center I’ve ever been to. I thought I would die to this disease and lost all hope, but CFD helped my body and my mind heal to a comfortable place. A few months after discharging, I met my (now) husband, and turned to Faith like never before. We were married in August 2020 and now have a baby on the way. I went from the shell of a person barely surviving to a healthy, happy woman starting a family of our own. I will never forget the amazing staff and treatment provided. You have no idea how grateful I am.

carlene is the best
