I was impatient on Unit 2, for 5 days. As soon as I walked into my unit, I was greeted by other patients so warmly. They showed me the "ropes" and I felt I was with family. Group therapy was nice, but the interaction and talk time alone with other patients made the stay 10 times better, because we all shared a lot of the same experiences and really helped one another out a lot. This was my first experience in a mental health facility, and not once did I feel I wasnt cared for. The food was good and all you could eat. I think I gained weight during my stay. Snacks, juices of all kinds and coffee were available 24 hours a day. After day 1, my routine was good. I allowed myself time for me and forgot about Facebook, problems at home or work, and besides missing my family, I felt safe and just allowed myself to grow and heal. Today, as I write this review, I realize I left too early and am going to voluntarily sign myself back in to continue my recovery. I left feeling I could do it on my own, but now realize I need to be there longer. I give 5 stars for this facility and am so grateful for the help and resources they provided me.
