I was admitted here when I was 16. It was one of the most traumatic events of my life. The first day I was evaluated by the Doctors they took my off of my Klonopin that I had been on for two years. I was having terrible withdrawals but I didn t know that s what it was. I kept telling them I felt really weird & sick. They told me I ll be okay. By the sixth day I was vomiting back to back. I wasn t allowed to go lay in bed or even go to my room. I had to continue to sit in the day room while I thought I was having a true mental breakdown. All of the other girls were saying how gross I was for throwing up-like I could help it or something. Thank God I got to leave the next day. Although I continued to vomit & feel very strange for a week after my stay.

Also, the staff is horrible. Ghetto is a perfect word thats describes the staff. Anybody can work there, you just have to take a two week class.

I wish I could remove the memory of this place from my brain. I ll never forget my visit to Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health.
