Carrier Clinic was an absolute waist of time & money. 1st thing out of their mouth is: we want your $500.00 co-pay up front, & then $230.00 a day after that! Like we all walk around with that $ sitting around. Next thing out of their mouth was, we are increasing your childs meds. Adolescents receive 3 hours of group therapy a week, none on holidays or weekends, no individual therapy. The rest of the 21 hrs. a day your child does what ever they want, like zone out in front of the TV. YOU can not call the nurses station, your child, or anyone at all to find out how your child is doing, so parents are left in the dark. The psychiatrist just keeps upping the kids meds until they feel they are "compliant", & then your child is discharged. What a joke. You could up their meds at home, but that is not the answer. Therapy is often needed, but you won't get it at Carrier. If I could rate them as a negative number I would. Just horrible. All they do is push up meds to zombie out the kids & then send you home a sedated child for you to deal with. Oh, & just try to find someone who speaks without a severe accent. Good luck. You can't understand a 1/4 of what the doctor says. Save your money. Monmouth Medical has a far superior adolescent program, if you can get a bed there.
