I was originally going to give a 1 star review. But Kevin carey one of the therapists there is the reason I decided to give a 4 star rating. He was very kind and helpful to me, he gave good advice and helped me get through treatment there. My first couple nights there was really bad, i had passed out a few times, but of course they put "unwitnessed falls" cause their staff was never around when i needed them, even tho there was people there that saw me fall..i hit my head 3 times out of the 5 or 6 falls I had, I don't remember how much times I had passed out cause I was really out of it.. the first two I hit my head really hard and threw up, but the nurse told me to sleep it off, never got an ambulance the first 2 times, they waited for the 3rd fall to finally call 911. I was cleared, but they definitely didnt do the right tests, having to now follow up with my primary doctor after 9 days of feeling like my head is under water.. Malik the psychiatrist pretty much called me a liar, said it was funny how i have no witnesses, even tho 2 possibly 3 staff members including my mom witnessed me fall.. that was really stessful, and made me immediately hate the place, i wanted help but after that conversayion is when i started to panic and wanting to leave.. not being trusted by a psychiatrist but yet having him prescribe you meds isnt really ideal... After that mess was over and i got better on my feet and no longer needed assistance to walk, Gretchen one of the workers that walks around doing nothing but judge people with her little ipad was the reason my stay there was the most uncomfortable experiences I've had in a while. I'm trans female to male. And I shave my face cause I take testosterone. She was giving me the most disgusted looks in the mirror the whole time I was shaving. I saw the whole thing through the mirror. She then continued to call me a She and her the whole time I stayed. 8 days of her BS.. I cried and was wanting to leave due to the disrespect I got from the other staff members. Constantly having employee's roll their eyes at me when I'd ask for my MEDICATION. It's not like I asked them to do a back flip, I asked for meds and a shower. Like I'm so sorry I'm such an inconvenience to you... But Sandi one of the therapists was also super amazing, her groups were really good, and she was very kind to me too. The only reason I'd ever go back is because of kevin, Sandi, Johnathan and some of the night staff..Thank you to these people for making my stay a little better!
