This was by far the worst inpatient facility I’ve ever been to. I was taken there for anorexia and suicidal ideation and they immediately started giving me haldol and all kinds of other medications without explaining why. I hadn’t eaten in over 3 days my first day there and they started me on multiple medications before I even had my first meal resulting in me constantly throwing up both the food and medications because there was never any substance in my stomach and they didn’t care they just called me noncompliant and kept giving me different anxiety medications to knock me out so they wouldn’t have to do their jobs. I’m still dealing with the nightmares from that place.edit: I also forgot to add they refused to tell me what medications I was on until I was being discharged and that’s when I saw I was on SSRIs which I asked not to be put on because of bad interactions in the past. Also they refused to give me a doctors note until 2 months later after I lost my job because they didn’t send me the paperwork in time.
Had a fairly positive experience until they released me. I was only given 7 days of certain meds even though they were fully aware I had no primary care provider to continue them and would not be able to acquire one until my New Mexico insurance took effect in December. They didn't care and refused me any refills. Tried many many times to get in touch with my doctor and social worker and it took weeks to get a rude and terse return phone call in which I was basically brushed off. I have mental health problems and was on completely new meds, I was on no condition to receive any after care info, be able to sign consent forms or have the ability to carry it out and yet I was shoved out the door with no real idea of what the next steps were. They were communicated to be but VERY VERY rushed and poorly so that someone like me with my memory problems couldn't possibly retain it. Completely disappointed in my aftercare and would give zero stars if I could.
Was told im not suicidal enough. Thanks for the inspiration to try harder
Honestly - I feel bad for writing a terrible review . Was a patient there seeking help and the whole experience was traumatic. There were only a handful of nurses and BT’s who actually listened . Luckily my social worker was good and listened to me . A lot of the nurses and BT’s were very rude and didn’t seem to care about the patients needs. I honestly wouldn’t even give it a 1 star . Me and my entire family were very disappointed. My mom called 5 times and all 5 times was either hung up on or put on hold for 20 minutes . Had some friends call and the receptionist said I wasn’t there (which I was) . It would take hours for the nurses to attend to your needs . I understand they are busy but when it’s creeping up on 5 hours for them to actually help you is alittle ridiculous. Very disorganized. If you have a loved one or if it’s you going there - I wouldn’t recommend this place
I thought this would be a great place for family with mental illness to get better. WRONG. they don't feed them, I mean they don't wake them up to eat, and the food is horrible, looks like gizzards with meat juice. Don't allow food delivery. Don't retrieve messages from family members to call back. And the "deputies" that r there to give them support and make sure they shower, eat, brush teeth, etc.. r so rude. My experience, when I call they answer as if the people in there r in jail. I might be wrong but my experience is not good right now.
