"I recommend the Group Home for anyone in need and cannot say enough 'good' about my experience there and how it changed my life in so many positive ways."

- Rehab.com review

"From the beginning, Dr. Pacheco has had a biased opinion about me based on information she received from my ex-wife. Over the 3.5 years that she has been appointed, nothing has been accomplished and my children are still mentally struggling."
