Carrier is the most unprofessional psychiatric facility I've ever been to. The staff members are incredibly condescending, miserable, and unempathetic. I don't think you could've hired worse to work on a mental health unit. I have severe insomnia and was unable to sleep for the entirety of my 6-day stay. I kept asking the nurse's station for something like melatonin to help me sleep, but instead they gave me about seven or eight Latuda's each night. This is considered by law an abuse of the drug and would be classified as malpractice. Carrier somehow has a horticultural therapist, but not a sleep therapist! The doctors only work on the weekdays and patients are left to care for their mental health struggles completely on their own for the weekends. I guess the lack of funding in the mental health care system is more important than the patients. Many of the "therapists" here are in fact not even therapists, but deluded social workers who hand out printed worksheets from Pinterest three times a day and believe they're making an impact in their patients lives. This entire experience was unbelievably traumatizing. Two years later and I still have nightmares about the stench of this place.
