Reviews of Diamond Grove Center (Psychiatrist)

Alexa Kay

I was admitted here when I was 15, (about 6 years ago) they put me on drugs not even 10 minutes after I walked through the door to the living area. The staff were uncaring and unprofessional. My mother came to visit and got a look at me and said I looked 100x worse. She pulled me out immediately. I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone, we weren't even allowed to LAUGH, I was roomed with a girl and she laughed at a joke I made and they took away precious minutes on the phone with her family as a penalty. Not only was it cruel, it made me feel guilty for wanting to make someone smile, and it also reinforced the belief that we weren't allowed to be happy even for a moment. I had trouble sleeping for weeks after, afraid I'd wake up there again. I still get anxious going to Louisville. If she reads this one day, I hope you are happy and thriving. You deserve to laugh and be happy. I'd give this place zero stars if I could, if anything it made my depression worse.

My grandson was here a year ago, while there, The children were Fed a lot of sandwiches in place of Nutritious meals, Counciled, Educated or properly supervised,! His roomate gave him a concussion ! Another child was so severly beaten he had to be taken to the ER, ! I withdrew him immediatley, I need an attorney as I said this was a year ago,, Whatever was written in his file, has kept him from re-entering public school, I placed him there for severe depression, and He has been Evaluated for 3 schools,(To see if it was Safe for Others!) His New Therapist said He Needs to be Social,!Needs social interaction! he has been refused addmittance, to 'lost paperwork' 'Evaluation sent to wrong place' or 'Never Recieved',Hes denied Education for a year because of these people!(I refused to allow uneccessary meds.!)(withdrew insurance payment! Supposed to be 5 months,I pulled him out in 3 weeks). Now I want an Attorney! Hes only 14 ! He was depressed. Not a Criminal in Prison!

This is a personal review and what I mean by that is a bit of backstory to give clarity for my Review, if you don't wish to hear about it, please move to the next Post. If you are still here, read on and forgive me if I drag on. I was about 13 or so when I was taken into DHS and told them I tried to commit suicide Multiple times while I was abandoned. The Street Life is rough on a child and what I seen and done was beyond that I could have imagined at that age. They told me to be honest with them, so I told DHS everything. I was living with some Foster Parents for about a Month and it was wonderful living with them (And they were old friends I met as well! How Ironic!) and soon I was told I would be going here to be evaluated and see if I was "Okay". I looked forwards to this and went there, however I had no idea I had a whole different world waiting for me here. I was just a kid, I was abnormally tall for my age and was often mistaken for a grown man. I was tossed into this place with many MANY Behaviorally unstable children and teens, waiting for the slightest mishap to happen and fight or cause problems. I was there for 8 Months, the while I was there I was given 400mg of Seroquel, and like 3 other Meds I am not caring to remember (If you think I am lying about being hyped on this many Meds, I assure you these Quacks WILL give you're Kid(s) Meds and try many if not overdo the Dosage). Residential Program is closely like Rehab, but imagine as a Kid, no shoelaces (Velcro Straps...), 24/7 watched by Staff, you can't step outside when you feel like, a lot of basic possessions are either locked away or TAKEN away if they feel like it interferes with the Patient's "Treatment" (Books were my getaway and coping mechanism at the time, but was told "Books won't always be there" Meds won't either!) I could go on and on, however that would be very boring to read. The Staff here are both the redeeming and dooming aspect of this place. The Staff are quite annoyed with us, telling us all about how "I get to go home at 5, so you don't bother me." in such a smug tone. However... not all staff were like this, and I personally wish to thank them from the bottom of my Heart, that they did indeed help me pull through the worst of hell in this place, Thank you and I can never repay you! The Therapists... they are the worst I have ever had and to this day I am scared to even go for most forms of Therapy due to these Witches! However, I can't fully detest them, at least one of them was fair (They no longer work there and the person replacing them seem Legit for as long as I seen them). They made it CLEAR they are NOT your Friend, it instantly made me feel like I was on the Spot and isolated. They used my Discharge Date in FRONT of ALL MY PEERS as a threat to push it back (And others as well, this Therapist knows) and prevent me from leaving! There is no bigger insult than to have your Freedom used as a threat in front of the People you are in this place with, but they know the pain and they don't laugh, it hurts. The Food? It's fairly decent, I guess I looked forwards to the Meals, but get into a fight (Even if you did nothing but get hit) you lose ALL access to being outside your room, you get punished and all your work to Levels, wiped back to Level 1... it takes 3 weeks JUST to move up once! Plus, back to the food, you get Restricted "Version" of Food in Meals! Restriction also included, No TV, No Games (Like at all, not even cards), No Activities in Gym, No Snacks (You get Fruit) and in some cases, No Interacting with certain Peers (AKA Those you actually became Friends with). When I was there last, they gotten together and took literally everything of Fun out of the Rooms and made it against the rules to have: Cards (of any kind), Books (Only a certain amount, also my Bane) No Paper to craft things to have fun with (Spinners, Stars, even someone who did Origami! By the way, they had all their Folding Projects thrown away) I can't write more, so this is my farewell. My name is Jacob by the way, I want to be Known ;)

My daughter is being admitted in to Diamond Grove. I pray that GOD sends his ministering Angel's ahead of her to watch over her,and protect her. Most of all, everything I've read and heard from the hinds county detention center has been nothing but Good.... So I sit in wait in a positive attitude for a powerful testimony.... I would like to say thank you in advance for a job well done....

A good place

Very horrible experience here. Would not recommend sending a dog here. The staff is uncaring, unhelpful and incompetent. My son was in a crisis and I couldn't even get them to call me back AFTER his assessment over the phone. Called again after the weekend thinking they were busy and was told the person I needed to talk to was gone and he would call me in the morning. That did not happen. I called back, was told someone would call me back in 30 minutes...and hour and a half later, I get a call from a guy named Mark telling me insurance wouldn't cover and he didn't have any insurance anyway...well, yes, yes he does and has his whole life. I knew insurance would cover, because I called and sp9ke to them myself. They were too lazy and/or uncaring to do anything. I pray that the current patients there are being cared for and treated properly but I strongly recommend staying far, far away from this place. There are so many other, much better facilities around here that will do an infinitely better job than these clowns!
