Please whatever you do, DO NOT GO HERE! it’s a joke! The nurses on staff are cold heartless people who don’t CARE for their patients.
I was cut off from my pain management specialist and said bo more refills, so he made me have to quit taking Percocet cold turkey. So I went through the proper Chanels to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I found this place through referrals and being naïve and I went here. It took 5.5 hours from the time I checked in to the time I got to a room. And that was around 8pm at night. I was told over and over that after I got to my floor I would be given medication to help with withdrawal pain. Boy was that a lie!
I asked for a nurse to call a doctor being I was having horrible withdrawals and didn’t get to see a doctor after getting checked in, because apparently the doctor only comes at 10am or so and was not given the proper dose of medication so she watched me suffer in pain. The nurse told me in a rude manner “you did this to yourself. Now go lay down.” This nurse I ended up writing a grievance letter for and so did one of my roommates that has a similar situation with the nurses. They are rude and condescending and not understanding nor helpful in anyway. Zero bed manner. They literally acted like we all had the plague. It was aweful Sports recreation is asking if you want to go play basketball, music time is watching a lady sing to adlibs you did to different songs. Art therapy was drawing with crayons, and group therapy is the worst joke on the planet. You go into a room and get a printout of paper and go around and say “how you feel for the day” The doctor comes once a day to see you and you’re called in one at a time. He asks how are you doing? And says okay keep getting your dosage. Yo really have NOTHING to do during the day except watch the community television and sit around until group whatever they are doing. Walked like a heard of cattle to breakfast lunch and dinner. They bring the food back to you if you don’t want to go to the cafeteria but go. It’s the only event to make time go by for the day. Beds are rock hard, you’re not given a pillow, (I brought my own being I get horrible migraines in hard pillows, and that was a fight to get them to let me have MY pillow) and strip searched upon arrival. While I understand it’s for your own safety, it made me feel very shameful through the process. For a place that says they care falls really short on their values.
I was here for a week a few years ago. I was there to get medication straitened out for Depression/PTSD. It worked, I went away. Considering going back to tweak my meds, again. I would recommend it for anyone who needs to take the pressure of life off for a while. Dunno what happens if you can’t be stabilized in a week, but there must be extended stay options?
