I'd say this is the worst residential in Missouri. I was 12 when I went here. I was on 3S. There was a huge riot once because basically everyone was put on OPPS/LPI (opposite sides of room, limited peer interaction) for no reason. During that riot, there were fights, and a girl who had a 1-1 was bleeding on the floor. She'd hurt herself. And, Mr. Dakota was incredibly weird. He'd joked about hitting women, and even once said he'd put the skin of grapes in my food after I reported that someone said they'd give me grapes (I'm ... read more

Lakeland Behavioral Health System just allows people to take and post photos of their patients in no regard for Hippa laws or that child's safety. Same employee that used to let kids FaceTime other staff members. Same staff member that only cares about flirting with men on her shift. Same staff member that grooms kids and involves them in her drama. This kind of behavior from a grown woman is disgusting.

I was hospitalized 3 years ago here when I was 16. At the time there was an outbreak of the flu. I caught it and all they did was lock me in a room for 24 hours with no contact with anyone.

Please don’t send you kid here!! This is the worst place, I was SA’s twice had a panic attack so bad that 3 staff had to carry me out of my room because of one of the staff. The place is so nasty, the food is disgusting and is always uncooked. And when I got sick there and begged to lay down for an hour they told me no because I didn’t need to as I was folded over in pain crying and the got yelled at by one of the staff because I was “being dramatic”. They made my mental health 1000% worse and the therapist I had the first t... read more

Whether you are self admitting or are involuntarily admitting someone, please stay away from this place. (I want to first say that this facility has multiple sexual abuse cases against the people they've employed and 32 plaintiffs against lakeland themselves.) I was admitted here on the adolescents unit (4-south) 2 years ago and the things that happened to me and others, stay with me to this day. I will not go into detail as i simply do not want to re-live/re-experience the things that happened but i will try my best to ex... read more
