**If I could give negative stars, I would.** I'm genuinely afraid to post this, given how I was coerced into signing away my rights. The ten days I spent at this facility were traumatic and dehumanizing. Despite not being a danger to myself or others--only delusional due to a virus attacking my brain--my family was denied access to me the entire time. Every time I asked to go home, I was threatened with involuntary commitment if I didn't stop asking. Because I was physically ill and contagious, I was placed in solitary c... read more

My niece was involuntary baker acted and came to this facility last December. The only reason she escaped within 3 days was because she refused to sign the Voluntary Baker Conversion paperwork that they kept trying very sneakily to get her to sign. We got her an attorney who warned her not to sign thank goodness. But the staff kept trying to trick her, telling her they were letting her go but then obviously trying to convert so they could extend her stay. She actually would have stayed willingly if this place didn't prov... read more

Netflix shows like Ratched, American Horror Story, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest make mental health malpractice seem far away and long ago. However, in 2020 this kind of negligence* is more commonplace than we think. North Tampa Behavioral Health is one of those places you think exists only on the screen. They are notorious for holding, misdiagnosing, and overmedicating patients against their will. On October 1st, I watched powerlessly while my partner remained in their care against her will. She had voluntarily check... read more

A scam that takes your insurance money and keeps you locked up in a hell hole. Watch Brittany Muller's expose on this virtual prison on WFLA's channel 8 " Eight on Your Side " from September 2024: https://youtu.be/ID9SRNI6mTk I was placed here after losing my sanity after my two trusted " physicians" ( see below) prescribed 9 poisons, mostly benzos, in 3 months, after I had a panic attack on an EKG . Fast forward, after a Baker Act put me here---the facility psychiatrist sat me down and said either I sign a document volunta... read more

this place is nothing. they are money hungry corporation most people were rude, the Dr. social workers and anyone else that work . they should be ashamed of themselves. there is no therapy to help you. you sit around all day watching tv. they are not there to help you at all. the only thing I learned is to never go back there.

Honestly, this place is literally not a place to send your loved ones or anyone you care about. These employees are rude and have no sympathy for patients family. Every-time I get on the phone they make me feel like I am a bother. They get annoyed at my questions, you can hear employees whispering in the background. Oh and if your insurance sucks they won't go above standard of care and will probably release you if you're still not all the way 100%. This is not a behavioral center that cares and wants the best for their pati... read more

Communication. Follow-thru client and family relations and quality care(sent home in a gown with a tiny blanket and no socks, and at the end of the horrible treatment) all NEED improvement!!!
