highlands has a lot they need to work on. I was in the adolescents inpatient program for 8 days, there were good nurses, BHA'S, social workers, and doctors... MOSTDAYS.( i would love to give credit to Elijah and Nicole for being the best people there) some of my opinions o this place...1) the doctors dont really care about whats going on in your head, i told my doctor (Dr.Carter) that i didn't feel ready to go home and he told me that i have a good life at home and said that he THINKS im ready... okay man you have known me for a week and talked to me three times, i don't think you know anything about me... anyways i had to talk to my social worker and my parents before i got a good reasonable opinion. 2) the food it absolute trash and if you don't eat it you have to stay longer. i lost so much weight while i was there because i wasn't eating. 3) you cant socialize, the units are so small and the only place you can talk to people is in the one small group room, but also you cant talk during group and thats the only time you're allowed in there. you cant talk in the halls, you cant even talk across the hall to the room across you, unless you want to be yelled at. oh and if you want to talk to your roommate before bed make sure to keep it down or else they'll put you in the quiet room ( a room with nothing in it except a camera) 4) don't cry, yell, or show any sort of emotion other than happy while you're there or else they'll sedate you and throw you in the quiet room. 5) get ready to watch finding dory 5 times in a row...like seriously, y'all need to get Netflix of something. anyways i wouldn't recommend this place at all, there are much better places.
