![]() ![]() Really 1 1/2 days to deny a suicidal person with a plan ridiculous!!!! Anyway back to Dave after explaining this I was asked to try to stop the fax from continuing because once they received it they were going to shred it anyway because they couldn't keep the paperwork overnight. I tried explaining that I wanted them to have everything they needed for when someone discharged the following day because it took a day and half from the initial referral just to get a no we can't admit this person. Being proactive I sent in all the documentation needed to admit someone just to get phone call from a staff member, Dave, scolding me for tying up the fax line because I was told there was not an open bed that day. ![]() So far everyone I spoke with was kind and willing to work with me. In trying to get this person admitted a few days later I was informed there would possibly be openings the following day. I can understand when I first called they were full. 1 year ago I am a social worker and I was trying to get someone admitted with suicidal ideation and a plan for an inpatient stay. This is a horrible place and I can guarantee your kids will leave feeling worse than they did before going.ġRachel N. From reading recent reviews, nothing has changed and probably never will. So please please please, seriously reconsider allowing your kids to be admitted here. I think back to those days and still break down crying. There have been times when I should’ve been admitted to a psychiatrist hospital but to this day I cannot bring myself to ever set foot in one again. It took me a very long time to see another psychiatrist or be open to counseling. I could go on and on about the problems but I won’t. We weren’t allowed to talk to each other expect during select times which made me feel even more isolated. There were tons of other problems as well such as the nurses and being treated as if we were crazy and worthless. Every teenager there left his office sobbing and if anyone tried to talk over him or argue they had to sit at a desk facing the wall with nothing to do “thinking about their disrespect” for a good 2 hours. I wasn’t the only one with this experience. When I tried to tell him why my sleeves were up he told me he didn’t want to hear it and to shut up and let him talk. He accused me of seeking attention for self harm because the nurse had just applied ointment to my cuts and told me not to roll my sleeves down. He told me that I was selfish for even thinking about killing my self and that my family would probably be better off if I did. He let me talk for about 5 min before he started yelling at me…and I really mean yelling. I went into the hospital feeling totally alone and worthless as well as suicidal…he made sure I stayed that way. He was the absolute worst part of my stay. I did my research and discovered that he is still the only psychiatrist on staff for adolescents. Fletcher is the psychiatrist who I saw every day during my stay. 1: I want to keep parents from letting the hospital admit their children and 2: I feel like I need closure to this part of my life as it truly was a horrible experience that I will never forget.ĭr. I know it’s been awhile since my visit so I have 2 reasons for writing this review. 1 year ago I was admitted to the stress center as an adolescent when I was 15 (2015). Thank you to all the HEROES that work in this building.ġKate L. This place saved my life and it might not work for you but the quality of the facilities and employees cannot be matched. My insurance didn’t cover everything here and I was without a job or any money and St. The staff has been amazing, Therapists have been amazing and the other patients have been inspiring with the progress they’ve made. You need to want the help they provide and if you do you’ll find that this place is absolutely incredible. Therapy isn’t a magic pill and you won’t heal simply by coming here. While reviews are important, Keep in mind that the people it doesn’t go well for are usually the people who leave poor reviews. Before coming here I probably called 7 other places with absolutely no luck and honestly after reading the reviews from this place I was absolutely terrified to come here. In my experience most places won’t help you unless you feel suicidal. 9 months ago Finding a place to get help with my mental health was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. ![]()
