My experience at carrier clinic was less than idea...

My experience at carrier clinic was less than ideal. I found the nurse technicians to be mostly warm, kind and helpful but the level of amenities at carrier was unacceptable. My room had all old furniture with writing all over it, and I was not allowed to have a chair at the desk in my room. It was very uncomfortable and was not far in resemblance to a jail cell. Carrier has stricter rules than most, and isn't the most comforting place for individuals going through moderate to severe emotional distress. The food was mediocre at best. I will say the facility staff watches patients very closely, and the building is complete lock and key. The counselors are also helpful and friendly. The quality of the facility itself is unacceptable. Carrier's no-nonsense approach at recovery works for a few people, but I personally would not be able to recommend to other teens who are feeling emotional distress.
Pros: Kind nurses, friendly counselors. 90% of the staff at carrier are great.
Cons: Too much free time, dirty, disorganized,lack of amenities, dreary atmosphere
