My son was there and the nurse practitioner Ryan said he was going to fill out the DMH application and was going to sign him to an outpatient program before my son leaves and never did and we called him several times to speak with him and left messages but never called us back unprofessional behavior as a professional NP .

My son was shaking and scared for his life because of the kids there fighting, yelling, screaming ...and he said it gets much worse. He told me the staff lets things happen. Terrible food. Difficult to sleep because the beds are filthy. My son saw a girl get her head cracked open by another girl while at the facility. The kids there are the worst of the worst. He stayed two nights before we pulled him out against medical advice. During visiting hours, there were multiple codes and incidents involving fights. He stayed in a h... read more

This place needs to be shut down. Their website is completely false. The kids had advocate for therapy sessions. My daughter came out worse than ever. We had to file a police report for a horrible incident that happened to my child. Do not send your child here! The hospitals need to stop referring adolescents to this facility!!! Absolutely atrocious. There would be a negative star option

I've been here a few times. i was isolated and without much human contact. it caused me to be mildly delusional. they put me on drugs that caused me to sleep most of the day and gain a great amount of weight. i was on them off and on for many years. i am now severely obese and close to 300 pounds. they have been doing this to me for over ten years. similar things happen to many of the patients there. obesity, related health problems including diabetes, and other health problems that include gynecomastia are some side effects... read more

Possibly the worst place to ever send a child. I have called over 9 times to speak with someone about my daughter and never even got a call back. Do not send your child to this place, nurses are rude and social workers are useless.

My child temporarily lived with his grandparents. I gave his grandparents temporary guardianship so they could enroll him in school and get him to doctor visits. I still have full sole/legal custody of my son. The doctor would not call me to consult with me, gave him lithium and depakote without my concent among other things. I called daily and the nurses where extremely rude. One nurse snapped at me "What do you wanna know"? My son called around day 2 and asked if I heard he had passed out and that his blood pressure got da... read more

Had someone close to me receive treatment here- If you can avoid receiving care here, or you can keep family members out of here- I strongly advise that you do so- I do this as someone with a level of experience in healthcare and mental health. Got good insurance, well educated on your heath, can advocate for yourself, and want to be there for your mental health care? You'll probably be okay here like you would most places. But how often does that describe people in crisis??? Other the hand if your loved one is going ther... read more

Never under any circumstances allow your child to be brought here. Review should be a ZERO, or negative star review. No communications with me about how our daughter was doing. Had to call repeatedly and would not get responses back. We were told there would be a full day schedule of counseling and group activities. There wasn't. I basically had to show up to free my daughter from the scam of a facility because I could not get any information about how she was doing or when we could come to get her. Completely disengaged doc... read more

No stars. My daughter was beaten by another patient. The staff ignored all the warning signs that this man was going to explode violently. Two weeks later she is still black and blue and her face horribly swollen. One arm is in a brace and her opposite shoulder is immobilized in a sling. I had to soak her clothing overnight then wash them in two cycles to get her blood out of them.
