Most horrible experience I have ever had. My son ...

Most horrible experience I have ever had. My son was admitted for detox and psychotherapy. For over three weeks I was left with little information and unable to talk with my son. No doctor ever called me. I requested a conference call with my ex-wife and the staff. They never scheduled it and also said their phones don't have conference capability. So I offered my business conference phone, but they still never scheduled.

As concerns got worse, I requested to speak to the director. Isaac talked to me briefly and once I mentioned I was recording the call, he hung up. A lower level staff called saying I need to pick my son up and they were kicking him out. I called the director again and he hung up on me twice, once screaming and pounding his fist on the table. I called the executive director and left an urgent message. They never called back. The next day I made repeated attempts and they stopped answering my calls entirely.

My ex-wife is coincidentally a Psych RN and also had similar poor experiences. Since she and I live in other states, I called the Hattiesburg Police to request they do a wellness check. They refused saying that the facility has their own private security. I called their security and they also refused to do a wellness check. Called the Sheriff, same answer. Evidently the police think that HIPPA prevents them from setting foot in the facility. So they facility is not subject to law enforcement and can do whatever they want. Called the state police..... Mississippi does not have state police.

In trying to have him transferred they said I needed to pick him up. After a brief call with my son they said he was being released immediately and they dropped him off at a closed train station in the dark of the night with homeless people sleeping all around. He ended up in a cab to now Orleans for $300.

My son's HIPPA information was purposely disclosed to other patients and he was teased by several other patients in group therapy about this HIPPA information. On another note, they have a bazaar system of having the mental health patients elect their own leaders and they kinda run the show rather than the staff. True anarchy in my mind. Oh, and they also took a lot of our money for this prison encampment gone wild. Thankfully, my son is being transferred to a real facility.
