To be 100% honest, not the worst place I've been to.
If you weren't eating the food they let your family bring you food, family was allowed to visit in rooms, a lot of the staff and patients were really nice.
BUT
This whole place was just ridiculous, I was held on a 51/50 for next to nothing. With the doctor basically agreeing with me that meds aren't the best option for me.
The social worker, Rachel was ridiculous. You could very clearly tell she prioritized private health care patients above medical. Her whole demeanor on me completely changed as soon as she found out I had private health care. She seemed completely dumbfounded when to get discharged i was required to set up an appointment and i specifically requested therapy vs psychiatry and she basically tried to talk me into psychiatry. AND when I was discharged I looked up the therapist i was assigned who was a child and family therapist. Im not a child nor do I need family therapy. She didn't seem sure she could find me a therapist let alone knew of one so i honestly think she picked the first one under my insurance.
I had also over heard nurses saying that the patients with private health care are kept longer to milk their insurance.
The doctor didn't even see me to tell me I was being discharge. I found out from my nurse who asked me if id rather go home asap or in the morning apparently the doctor wanted me to leave in the morning and the nurse had fought for me to get me the choice saying i was young and probably didn't care if i left at 11pm and she was right.
One of the patients wasn't even told she was being discharged she found out through her parents.
And I believe it was the head nurse that night Christine I think (the one with long hair. I had to get a doctors note for work so they wanted me to talk to a specific nurse (her) before I left. I walked up to her asked for a note and after she writes it she comes up to me directly not through the window with my finance right next to me and very rudely tells me "Your making a mistake, you should stay here." Im sorry, Im making a mistake for leaving when the doctor has signed my forms to let me leave? First of she had never even said a single word to me as was not my designated nurse. I don't know if she was trying to get me to scream at her or what but I've heard her say things like that to other patience one of the patients who you could tell was doing incredibly well for what he was in for she told him (again, rudely) "Only 5% of addicts actually recover" as if to say "we'll see you here again" I don't think this nurse should be working in the mental health field if she's just going to stick her two sense into everyones situation without even talking to them first. I'm concerned this nurse is going to set some poor soul over the edge one day.
