The word "crisis" means that someone needs immediate and significant help. That is NOT what NTBH can offer. On Day 3, my loved one was finally given psychiatric meds. On Day 5, he was finally met by a case worker to take his history and listen to his summary of pain. Both of those basic crisis services should have been offered Day 1. In the meantime, my loved one was left to stare at a wall. No individual therapy. Group therapy once a day, but no other structured activity. And they won't let him out.

This place was horrible! Most of the staff were uncaring, rude & some were absolute racist! It was freezing in there and I asked for 3 days for an extra blanket Never received one. I also asked for a gown and if possible for someone to wash my clothes because I went in due to an emergency. They acted as though they were being interrupted and we (the patients) were a huge inconvenience. The facility smelled of urine & was dirty! The food was not good at all. They wake everyone up every 15 mins to scan your hospital band! I w... read more

Are u kidding me...this is worse than jail...my husband is there right now and I called to say I was coming to get him after he admitted himself 4 days ago and they tell me he is not on the list to be discharged yet another day. This is the biggest case of Medicare fraud and I don't no how they r getting away with this..there are multiple lawsuits against them and I just reported them to Medicare fraud and abuse and now I'm calling the Sheriff. Dont try to talk to them, they all have attitudes. Rude , combative, and just... read more

Please beware of this facility! Do your research before even thinking of becoming an in-patient. My son went there and foolishly we didn't check reviews. He voluntarily checked in for help. Within 24 hours realized what a mistake it was. There was little to no care . When he requested to be released the threats started. If he kept insisting he wanted to leave and seek help else where he was told they would Baker Act him. Why would a health care Doctor strong arm patients. It doesn't seem helpful or professional. We w... read more

These people are sick. They will detain individuals that do not meet the criteria to be there to suck as much of their insurance money as they can. They continue to try to force you to take prescription drugs while you are there so they can extend your stay longer and collect more. If you don't comply with their wishes they threaten to file a Ba-32 to extend your stay until you can get a court date. This is something out of a horror movie. Run as far and fast as you can!!

Simply a holding tank for disabled people. Hardly saw a psychiatrist for more than 3 minutes at a time. No individual counseling -- only Bingo. I was not helped at all and felt worse when I left than when I entered. DO NOT let yourself or any loved ones go here.

This place is a total scam. My daughter came in looking for outpatient assistance, they waited until after hours and had her sign admission paperwork even though we were en route to the facility. When she stated she wanted to come home they told her they could not because she signed the forms. They illegally baker acted her and then rescinded it once we contacted corporate to call out many unprofessional behaviors. If you can go somewhere else, please do. While there are definitely good employees here there are some REA... read more

I've contemplated leaving this review everyday for the last 179 days, my mother was a patient at this facility twice in the matter of a 2 months, with other facility's in between. I called them the 1st day of her intake so they would be up to speed on her mental health, she would call me daily to let me know that she would say and do what ever she had to do so she could leave the facility and un alive her self, I would call them right away to let them know what she was saying. My mother was released days later. when they ca... read more

Do not take your children or loved ones here! I worked at NTBH for 7 months. Someone under the age of consent reported they were being assaulted at home and the night shift supervisor and nurse said they were probably making it up for attention. People have snuck razor blades onto the unit because the metal detector had dead batteries and they knew about it. I was sexually harassed and so were patients and told to ignore it on multiple occasions by nurses and supervisors and patients were told they have to remember where the... read more
