I ended up in their hospital for three days and was finally admitted to the day program, where I received services for two weeks.
My own pdoc has no affiliation with the Holly Hill, so once I was in, she was not my treating physician for that time. My meds were completely screwed up, and I never yet have been able to find a long period of stability.
Good luck to you, if I have to use one of the programs again I plan to go through Duke next time. I understand that both Duke and UNC have positives to offer.

One of my kids was in Holly Hill for a stay as was a friend who we visited. I have heard experiences from others at a NAMI parents meeting and I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything positive about Holly Hill.
