Edited in response to the reply of this facility :.Transportation dropped of my father infront of the building ,we were not allowed to walk in .We were stopped before we could walk in and someone waving their hands… telling us not to enter .You were not met with profanity because we were not allowed to step in the building ,react or even respond when told not to come in.The management automatically rushed to the front of the doors and said “I’m Not even going to waste my time ,we cannot take someone like him here ,it’s a hippa violation “.i guess they used that as the excuse for not allowing a handicapped man on a wheelchair to receive services in this location .But when a client has a power of attorney as their caregiver ,they are covered by the hippa law.It would’ve been professional and polite to apologize for you’re employers mishave.My father was discriminated for being a disabled Hispanic man. If I can give it 0 stars I would . .UNPROFFESSIONAL.From the outside look of the exterior ,the place looks like It needs alot of constructional work,it feels unsafe.I was greeted by a young man with a ski mask standing on the door ,if he was an employee ,that was a very unprofessional attire ,if he is a client ,they should not allow someone to stand over the patients waking in and inappropriately intimidate them.I booked an appointment and expressed my father health and expectations for appointment over the phone explaining in detail he’s health records . I took an hour drive to the facility with my dad in a wheelchair and was turned away because of misinformation on the facility part.I could’ve been told over the phone.I was rudely confronted by an elder women with a colorful wig and was told not to step in the building because they could not take my father as a client .we did not receive an apology for their mishave .She kept ranting about “hppa law “ .I think the staff including herself needs more training on health facility laws because as my father ‘s power of attorney I am covered over the hppa law to be present during he’s psychiatrist and doctor sessions .I felt very disappointed this this location and advice others not to go.This facility needs a lot of work with customer service .my father is a disabled man who has gone through a lot in the past years ,he didn’t deserve to be treated in such way .There in a way that you can speak to others during a miscommunication and we were treated disgusting .

Very Helpful Service!

CPI has an ongoing ,unrelenting problem with bedbugs. My family member has been a client there for one year and has bedbugs 3 times that were brought back to the group home where she resides. There needs to be daily… visual checks of the clients arms and lower legs, as many clients seem to be not aware they have them. Not an easy task to eradicate, but something needs to be done! It's interfering with the families and clients quality of life . We're concerned of spreading them to our own home!

I have serious mental issues and a counselor can't even return a call back I've use narcotics stay clean for 15 months I was told by another counselor to come back, even my doctor said I need mental help I've asked to… change counselors because I don't think he likes me anyway it's to the point where I can't sleep thinking about this guy I'm running out of options

I sent over a client and they had a million great things to say! Angela at the front desk was super helpful!

They provide a wonderful service for the community. Staff is friendly and professional.

Friendly staffs and it's some nice friendly consumers there too you will learn different experience from I recommend this place to my family and friends

I go here the people are friendly but I've received no mental health besides medication that hasn't been adjusted trying to get ahold of My doctor is a fiasco you have to talk to someone to get on a list I saw potential… here but I've not gotten the best care

This is a great place

This is a fine organization helping the mentally ill as well as substance abusers. I applaud their hard work and efforts to help all those in need!
