BNI Treatment Centers

Our autistic son with ADHD has struggled with impulsivity and anger for years. His stay at BNI has positively impacted him and our family. Most of the staff were very supportive and encouraging. There was an incident where a couple RCCs handled the situation poorly but they were spoken to and it didn’t happen again. During our son’s 2 month stay, the BNI teacher postponed enrolling him into school. By the time they finally figured out the schooling, he was discharged. Now, he is behind in credits. I was assured this would not happen to anyone again. The reasons why I’m giving BNI such a good rating is because of Nick’s Team: Dr. Corey Pearson, PsyD, Primary Therapist Dr. Arastou Aminzadeh, M.D., Psychiatrist Sondra Grossman, PA-C, Physician Assistant Lori Beckwith, JD, Executive Director Diana Monroy, Case Manager Maria Sarkissian, Director of Operations David Vakin, Director of Admissions Dr. Corey connected with our son and our family. We are glad he is still able to meet with him virtually every week for therapy sessions. Dr. A is meeting with our son every 2 weeks for medication management. Both of these men are very caring and truly listen to him. We were optimistic but nervous to have him come home but through BNI’s daily therapy and adjustments in his medications, we see a real shift in behavior. Such a blessing! Thank you, BNI!

5 stars is not enough to describe how impactful and amazing the care has been for our daughter. She had tried local IOP PHP and we didn’t see any change drive over 24 hrs from TX to Cali to get her admitted and would do it again. Game changer for our daughter she has her light back in her eyes. From admission inquiry to admit, therapists, nurses, house staff, Dr, pharmacy the communication about and investment in our child was seen and felt. If are Googling BNI you are looking in the right place. The family support is priceless. Thank you thank you thank you for giving us a wonderful place for our daughter to heal. K Davis

I went to BNI Calabasas in 2021. The first few days were hard, but the staff made me feel absolutely comfortable and validated. I’ve been to other residentials and I can tell you, this place is the best option. The groups are still memorable to this day, being educational and valuable for life. I was only 13 when I went in and had a group full of a lot older kids then me, I found a lasting friendship with a girl in there who was the same age as me who is still my best friend to this day. And when we both got on Level 3, they let us become roommates! It was honestly a great experience for being a treatment center. I absolutely LOVE and MISS Rose so much! So many other staff who helped me and sat with me through the laughs and the tears! BNI is a great place for troubled or lost teens. I absolutely loved all the activities we did (Equine therapy with horses, swimming , surfing, going on outings). This place is genuine and as fun a rehab can get 🥹 To this day, I remember Rose being the most amazing rehab mom ever and she is someone I will always remember and respect! Thank you BNI for the support, treatment, and tools you gave me to succeed in life!

I have been searching for support for my son for months now and after exhausting correspondences with 40+ treatment centers across the country, Doug at BNI treatment centers has been nothing short of a breath of fresh that has filled me with hope in this difficult process. Not only was he compassionate and understanding he was extremely knowledgeable and insightful. He also took the time to personally contact me to support us in navigating where would be the best fit for us whether it was with his program or elsewhere. He even gave me recommendations that saved so much time and provided clear direction and appropriate resources that have been invaluable. I have nothing but respect and admiration for professionals who show how much they care by how they follow through, offer their support in the way YOU need it most, and have the best outcome for the entire family at the forefront of what they do. I would trust Doug and BNI wholeheartedly with the care of my son and recommend this program to anyone finding themselves in my position and needing safe and effective solutions for their loved ones.

I honestly don't know where we would be without BNI. Our daughter had already been to 2 treatment centers before and they didn't seem to help at all. We were so skeptical about doing treatment yet again, but she was in such a bad dark place with her mental health, we had no choice. Thank God we found BNI!! The level of care she received there was unlike anything we'd experienced before. Her therapist was amazing, she really got to the root of her issues. And her psychiatrist was absolutely incredible. We had so many questions and concerns but could never seem to get answers from psychiatrists at previous treatment centers. Here, the doctor was extremely responsive and answered all of our (many many) questions. In the time she's been home she's doing absolutely amazing!! She's happier than I've seen her in years, attending school regularly, participating in extra curriculars again, doing great work in therapy, and our family feels whole again. Thank you BNI from the bottom of my heart!!!
