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 They illegally baker acted her and then rescinded it once we contacted corporate to call out many unprofessional behaviors.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

I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Tampa Bay Behavioral Center! It is simply a holding cell for homeless, severe drug addicts and drunks. It is 100% a scam for profit sake. Inmates are treated as prisoners. The staff act as prison guards lacking in any compassion or kindness. Upon arrival they purposely make inmates wait anywhere from 2-6 hours to check in. They do this purposely to scare and break down the inmates into hurriedly signing all paperwork. All clinical Notes and files are on paper. Allowing them to manipulate ... read more

This place is HORRIBLE!!!!! I only gave it 1 star because there is no option for 0 stars. I recently spent 7 days in this facility even though it was supposed to be 3. I didn't get my blood pressure medication every day or on time. One night my blood pressure was 210/130. I thought I was having a heart attack or stroke. I asked the nurse (RN Joy) to call for an ambulance to go to the hospital several times and she refused to call. She gave me a blood pressure pill and told me to lay down. That was after 45 min that it took f... read more

Worst place ever. The staff does not treat us good at all. The only good thing about this place is they let you smoke every few hours. The staff does not treat us like humans, only a few of them are there to actually try and help you. The doctors are helpful and nice, but the actual staff is terrible at their job. I got threatened to be put in the "violent ward" for objecting to being forced to be in there. All I did was look for out patient therapy and medication and they baker acted me! All I did was tell them my life stor... read more

Would give it ZERO stars if I could! Called multiple times a day to get in touch with someone who was in charge of my mothers care and medical plan. No calls, left messages daily that were never returned. Literally had to walk in and demand to speak with someone on the 6th day of her stay. It took us physically going there to get ANY information on my mother. The nurses would only tell us that she was eating and doing activities. Visiting hours were for one hour and only on two days at very odd times. Appointments were to be... read more

This facility was despicable. Aside from Liz and Chris on G-Unit who were the only light in that entire facility! I was sent from SMH which I thought was to help relieve the pain and cravings from withdrawing from Suboxone. I saw the MD more than 24 hours from admission. She promised to put me on one of the meds I had been taking-while I was detoxing due to unforeseen circumstances. She never did that. It was ice cold in the place. I was given strong antihistamines to "calm me down " after I told them I had adverse reaction... read more
