Do not go here for alcohol detox. I reached out to Hampstead Hospital, because I had no choice but to reach out somewhere. I informed them that I had tried to stop drinking, and explained that it did not work out because withdrawals were too much. The woman on the phone said DONT EVER try that again! And told me You should keep drinking, until we get you in.

I received a phone call later that day from them. They told me to go to the emergency room and get medically cleared, because I have been having issues with my heart. They said, the ER will know what to do. I did just that. I paid an unnecessary visit to the ER. They didn t know what Hampstead Hospital wanted in terms of clearance , so the ER called Hampstead Hospital. Hampstead Hospital s rep told them to discharge me and bring my papers with me when I checked in.

I did just that. I called Hampstead this morning, and the woman who answered the phone told me they were still waiting on medical clearance. So after being told I was put on a waitlist(which she informed me I wasn't), told to go to the ER, did that, spent more money than I had, continued to drink because I was directed by them to do so by them, I called the ER and had my paperwork sent over.

Anyway, Hampsteade called me a moment ago to tell me they wouldn t admit me. They told me to keep drinking. They told me to go to the ER. I spent more money than I have, and did what they directed me to do. This place not only does not have it together, but they are a malpractice facility and nearly posing as a treatment facility. DO NOT go here for treatment, and do not send your loved ones here.

How does a treatment facility tell an addict to continue abusing alcohol, yet refuse to admit them? It s repulsive. I do have a background in education on the medical field. Everything they did, What not to do as a healthcare provider 101.
