The staff was amazing. In 2 weeks I made profound changes. The building was run down and they wouldn’t accommodate my food allergies. I raised my concerns and they found the first reason possible to deny me care. Poor unreasonable management to the point of being childish.

This was not my first inpatient rehabilitation for mental health, but this was first time at Akua for mental health. By far the best care I’ve received. I was amazed at their holistic approach and how passionate and extremely helpful every staff member is! Every staff member…I mean every single staff member on every shift helped me with one on one talks, exercises, suggestions, and active listening. The therapist I had was amazing and empathetic to my needs while doing Brain Spotting. I recommend this place to anyone who needs care, whether it’s addiction and/or mental health.

Allow me. I spent 40+ days at Akua on the mental health health side. I was greeted by friendly staff and clients who made me feel comfortable. Unfortunately It was hard to receive proper care for my diagnosis. The majority of the treatment was either group therapy led via whiteboard and worksheets, or an occasional ted talk or YouTube video. During my stay I met with a therapist a total of 4 times, and was unable to have any deep connection or help from that. Nevermind the 10+ requests I made to see the therapist. The food was okay some days, but repetitive or unsanitary. Lack of breakfast made it difficult to function in the morning. We went on outings 1-2 a week, usually to the same place over and over. The story gets worse from here. The facility was marginally cleanly, with most/all chores done by clients. Wakeup times were enforced for some clients but not all. I was discharged spontaneously for sleeping for two days and taking the mental health days myself. Some clients would sleep all day and even during groups. Some wouldn't attend any groups, so I figured it would be okay. I landed at a motel 6 after being kicked out. I heard from another client that a staff member I befriended was fired for being closer to me and taking small parts of the day to spend time with me since I was struggling. They assumed we were being flirtatious and this upsets me greatly. I also think this played a role in why I was discharged early. Oh, but they offered to let me stay longer if I paid a two day visit to a local psych ward to be re diagnosed, apparently taking alternative non pharma medication is against the rules. Ironically multiple clients would smoke weed pens as they're medicine, so this upset me. Especially being 10 feet and a fence away from a substance rehab. The main goal of this facility is to have obedient staff and clients who are taking meds 24/7 and putting up with the sub par treatment you'll receive at Akua. The only forgiving thing is the bond between clients and some staff who made my days brighter. Many of the "rules" were being broken by higher ups for profit, like the 35 and under rule, or the hypocritical way I was pushed out to the literal curb the morning I was discharged. Dissatisfied and upset by my treatment, I might as well have left myself rather than put up with the triggering experience I had at Akua Sacramento.

Akua Mental Health was a lifesaver for me. I was there about a year ago for a suicide attempt. The therapist and staff really helped me come to terms with why I did what I did and all the thoughts I had. I continue to go to the alumni meetings and check in on a monthly basis with all the amazing friends I met there. I can’t thank the staff for all the hard they put in and the they took to dig deep with me. They truly are the best and I would recommend anyone who is suffering from any type of mental health issues to go to Akua and see for yourself. You will be amazed. Thank you Akua for saving me!

Akua is a special safe space. They care about their patients and actually do things for the benefit of us. I met lovely people through the program. I was in it a year ago but it no doubt saved me. To the employees thank you for helping me when I needed it most. Forever indebted to this place.

Akua has been pivotal in my life and helped equip me with tools that I use to overcome every day difficulties. After receiving care at Akua I now have the peace, happiness and self love that I didn’t even know was obtainable.

5/5

Our location has very caring and compassionate staff who go the extra mile for our clients. Recovery from a Mental Health crisis is a daily struggle for clients. The staff instinctually know how to respond to the different emotions clients are going through and are able to support them individually.

Completely ruined a small, quiet neighborhood. Cars line both sides of an already narrow street where there are multiple no parking signs...take your business somewhere else this isn't the commercial district
