I was 19 when I self admitted myself into inpatient care, all I can say is that this place was a living hell. The first 10 minutes I was there I told staff this was not the place for me and nobody listened. I wasn t even allowed to apply to leave until I started taking the heavy doses of medication they pushed into my lap. It took 10 days for them to release me. Not to mention the way I witnessed other patients getting treated, they denied someone from leaving the facility for a day to receive their chemotherapy, it simply wasn t right. I may be young but this experience has taught me more than apparently anyone running/working in the facility has learned in their entire lives. Haven t even had to mention the awful food I only ate after 3 days because I was starving, the way they deny patients from activities because of their disabilities , it made me sick. They had a patient that they were very familiar with but would consistently not let him into the rec hall because of his disabilities from his stroke, even though the only smile I had ever seen on his face was when he was kicking my butt in pool. Please not for my own gratification, but for other human beings sake, close this facility down.
