Wish I could enter a zero star review. Family member admitted for help managing extreme anxiety that began effecting their sleep and mental state. The entire stay they spoke briefly with THEIR doctor once, and didn't get any one on one time with their counselor. When the counselor was asked about it the answer was (cliff notes), "if we get to it we get to it". Based on those two facts they elected to discharge AMA, in which case it is discovered they LOST their home meds. I strongly suspect this was a tactic designed to provoke an angry episode so they could put them on a hold and milk the insurance coverage for money however, we were more composed than that.

Moreover, the environment on the units is best described as "controlled chaos" 24 hours a day. I dont know how anyone could make any progress there. Anxiety levels spiked purely from being there. The environment was traumatic in and of itself.

As another reviewer termed it, this place is a "money mill" for mental healthcare. I don't see how anyone working there who knows what is actually taking place on the balance sheets vs their "assembly line medicine" approach to mental health can sleep at night.
