Review of Willowbrooke at Tanner Behavio...

I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you're in need of a place for genuine help. This center focuses too much on wanting to detox patients and absolutely refuse to prescribe medications that you know work best for you. I take xanax on an as needed basis and it works so well for my anxiety. One of the nurses lied and said that I'd never find a psychiatrist that would prescribe me Xanax. So, who prescribes it and why did my last one prescribe it for me? She also said that I seemed as though I was going through xanax withdrawal. It was quite funny, seeing as I haven't taken any since OCTOBER.

She was a complete idiot.

Sleep is literally non existent. Isn't a good night's rest one of the most important things needed for proper mental function? The beds are horrible. It feels like you're sleeping on concrete. The overnight staff act as though it's social hour and loudly talk, laugh, and slam doors all night long. I was there 5 days and maybe managed to get about 10 or so hours of sleep. By the time I left, I felt WORSE than when I arrived. Mainly due to exhaustion!

There's multiple areas throughout the unit to have outdoor time, yet it is non-existent. I began to feel so claustrophobic and anxious.

Every day questions of how I was feeling turned into a lie just so I could escape.

If you're hoping to gain help for your depression, anxiety, or suicidal tendencies, this is NOT the place for you.
