Mental Health Providers in Crownsville, Maryland

I am honestly disgusted with the care I received here. I was here for only 2 days so I can't even imagine how awful it would be for everyone there for the full stay. I told them how I need a higher level of care for my eating disorder because it was very bad and out of control and mental health treatment was not going to be enough for me. I explained how I needed to go somewhere that specializes in eating disorders. They were just fine with transferring me to their eating disorder program. Then they find out my insurance doesnt cover their ED program. I said I know a place that my insurance covers. They said I can stay there and I'll be fine and need to prove I have an eating disorder pretty much. Well, they said I "need to show them that I'm eligible for an eating disorder program" I was diagnosed with severe anorexia. Like, what more do they want? And they were fine sending me to ED treatment till they found out that It wouldn't be their ED program. They were only saying it because they didn't want me to leave them because one less patient means less money for them. This place only cares about money and its sickening. Like, it makes me physically sick to think about how people can have such little empathy

Choosing a residential treatment program is difficult because you can only base your assessment on a website, random reviews, your experience with admissions, and your gut. If you have personal referrals, that is helpful, but not necessarily reflective of the experience your teen will have. Here is my honest assessment of the Chesapeake facility, which I chose among several options because I consistently had the best experience with the admissions team at Sandstone. Justina was by far superior in her service and reliability. Other places felt cold and corporate.
