We were promised a pre-release meeting with the social worker and this never happened.
I plan to speak to an attorney. Not for the money, but to make sure these "professionals" do something for the LARGE amount of money they charge!
This place is terrible. My 19 son was there and he received ZERO counseling. He was released after the insurance ran out.
I've been a patient here twice and I was always treated well, and I always left feeling much better than when I first arrived.
When I was here I was so scared and anxious about everything. I didn't realize how much I liked this place and actually miss it. Compared to alot of other places, this is a great place to be when your not feeling so well. They where pretty much on top of everything.
They should be charged with abuse!!!!!
Went here for treatment April 2015...admitted for a week. While the doctor and social worker that worked with me were excellent, much of the time on the unit in the milieu was just spent sitting around. They ran groups, but they seemed to be few and far between, unless you were a dual diagnosis client (alcohol and drug addiction plus mental health issue concurrently). So the dual people got twice as many groups and it almost felt as if treatment revolved around them in regards to group therapy. We were given adequate outdoor time which was nice especially in the spring as it was starting to get warmer, so that also helped to break up the monotony. The good news is that after around 20+ years of treatment for myself, I found a doctor there that seemed to get my medications right. I have been doing quite well since my discharge in mid-April and am thankful as I said for the doctors and clinicians and social workers, but the milieu for non-duals needs work in my opinion.
I recommend never setting foot in there. A family member of mine was admitted on a Friday and was not evaluated until Tuesday. The symptoms were due to being prescribed a medication that was contraindicated. They continued to give the medication that was causing the problems. They caused permanent detrimental changes. Please protect your love ones by staying away from this facility.
When they let his out, they didn't even give him a pair of slippers! He walked out with only a pair of socks on his feet!!!!!!!
There was no assigned therapist or appointment for my son (my understanding is that this is a state law!
