I worked at McLean for a little while and have to say that this place is truly a scam. The level of pretentiousness among staff is mind-blowing considering that nurses push a cart around to handout pills and then hide out in the staff-room where they gossip about patients. I saw patients that were overmedicated to the point that they could barley move around, and staff would simply walk by them unalarmed. There were patients that were leaving the facility (either being transferred or discharged) that were on a concoction of medication so strong that they were almost incoherent. Fellow staff even explicitly told me "What we do here is NOT therapy". There was a therapist in the addiction unit that talked to patient groups as if they were children (would do goofy icebreakers right before talking about severe trauma) and continuously threw around empty platitudes such as "You have to be strong" and "Do the hard work." that weren't backed by any tangible action. Didn't last long working here because of how this place seemed to profit so heavily on the mental health crisis in this country (and even exacerbate it through overmedication).
