If someone where to say what I am about to say I would have my doubts, however I was there with my wife & stepson. (For 7 hours) it\\\'s a total scam. They threw paperwork at us and told us very little about what to expect. Then a nurse called my wife & we were told there was a lot of group settings & a minimum of 5 days. My stepson expected more one on one counseling. We literally were held hostage trying to get him out of there. They kept giving us the run a around. Granted we were naive & trusted the facility. We did NOT cause a scene but were firm on explaining this facility was NOT for him - they called the police to escort us out & keep my stepson against his & our will because the Dr. (Who never even seen or spoke with him) deemed him a risk to himself. Leaving him & being stuck there was a great stress/anxiety on all of us. He is there now. Our attorney will be called in the morning. Pathetic a law that has more rights to your child than you do. We travelled 3 hours to this facility... We felt bullied & things were handled unprofessional. My wife & I are sick over all of this. Only hope & pray something good comes out of this. Felt like a jail more than a treatment facility. Look forward to hearing what our lawyer says. By the way I never write bad reviews & try to be logical, level headed but why would a facility keep a child knowing he does not want to stay & as parents we weren\\\'t comfortable keeping him there????

I was sent here and was here for 2 weeks and I can tell you from experience that the staff are awesome and actually care and this place really does help

Stacy Vanskike

I would give them no stars if possible. The doctor is nothing but a liar. She is very unprofessional and unethical. When I questioned her during a staffing she was upset and tried to talk over me. When I told her she was being unethical she hung up on me. My son\'s therapist did not believe he was ready to be discharged but the final decision comes from the doctor. Miraculously the doctor decided the next day to extend my son\'s discharge. I informed them from day one that I was to be notified of any PRN meds my son received. He received six of them and I received only one call notifying me of only one of them. My son was not made aware of the last staffing so he did not attend. He was lied to about his discharge date by the doctor. On his discharge date, his therapist told him he was possibly being discharged when she knew that he WAS being discharged. The staff wasn\'t even aware of his discharge. One of the staff grabbed my son\'s arm and twisted it behind his back. The inappropriate comments by the person leading the staffing was inappropriate too. This place is a joke. These children are nothing but file numbers. They get them in and get them out.

My nice was there for 2mo. No help ..no schooling she 12. Poor

Claudia Albuixech-Robinson

Staff were unmotivated and cared little for the patients, the food was honestly disgusting, and it was the most boring 6 days of my life. The only good part was the girls I met there, they were lovely and really fun to hang with and I made several friends.

Loni Creasy

Our son spent 7 days at Lincoln Prairie. They set up a payment plan, got the down payment, then billed and additional $1300 after insurance paid then sent another bill for almost $500. If you have insurance don\'t send your family to Lincoln Prairie. They will milk your insurance company for every dime they can get. And then some. This is why our premiums are so damn high.

Christina Anderson

This place is great. I went there and I truly feel better. The staff is nice but thr other kids can get aggressive but that\'s what some people are there for. They looked out for my best interest.

Skylie Klein

didn\'t help my sister at all. She is 16 and all she gets to do is color. She is to old for coloring

alex uwu

this place doesn’t care about the patients. I have depression and I got put on so many unnecessary drugs that were antipsychotics and sedatives. The staff genuinely didn’t care about the patients. All it did was make me feel worse

Ty Young

We went to these people for help for my little brother who has had mental illness. We trusted these people and they took my baby brother away from us and trying take him from our home. My mother just adopted him in January and his birth mother moved nearby. Shortly after he started to display self-destructive habits like bruising and biting and even cutting himself. Scared, my mother allowed him to be admitted to Lincoln prairie. Now they\'re trying to say that my mom is the one who injured my brother and that the bitemarks are from her despite the fact that my mom is missing teeth and the bites show a full set. They removing an obviously troubled little boy and placing him BACK into foster care. HOW just HOW is that helping his mental health and how can these people live with tearing apart our family! My mother is not a child abuser and she does not deserve to have her 8 year old son taken from her!! Do not take your family members to Lincoln prairie if they need help because they obviously need mental help themselves!!

Candace McEvers

Most of the staff was very caring and we had a great therapy intern

K D

My daughter had an appointment because she has severe panic attacks. She got there and they told her the doctor was out of town, her appointment wasn\'t on that day, and he isn\'t her doctor anymore. I have had nothing but terrible experiences with this place. They seem to be VERY unorganized.

HAYLEY DITZLER

it helps but it just sucks tbh

Diana Pemberton

Let\'s see, where to start? This place is terrible! My child was there for one week before any treatment began. They say you can call at anytime to speak with your child between the hours of 1:00 & 7:00, they rarely answer the phone. They also lack space for visits at times, twice we had our visits in a hall. My 6 yr old has learned a few new phrases that will get him into trouble once he begins school, also now tells people that he is insane, another thing learned there. Since being there we have noted bruises, scratches, & blisters. I did however receive one phone call informing me of an altercation with another patient. I have signed the papers and waiting to get my child out of there!!!!

Tony Robbins

This place should be inspected by the state. The care there is not good, the food is terrible and only thing they are interested in is your insurance.

Angela Kraft

Quick 2 give meds and push along

Brianna Dippel

My daughter is there now, she is there due to self harm and suicidal thoughts. They have told e and her 3 different dates of discarded always extending them for some reason weather it be to monitor new mess or because she had a bad day. It takes forever to get a phone call in to her if they even connect you. It seems all they care about is billing insurance. My child is extremely upset because she was told she would be home for easter now they are telling her the day after. Why open your mouth about it and say anything at all if you are not 100% sure. I have rearranged my work schedule 2 times now to pick her up. I told them Monday at 10:30 am they will release my child to me one way or another.

PRESTON TERRY

I am going to be honest, this place, is absolutely NOTHING like these reviews make it seem. Yes, your first day there is awful, you want to just go home, go back to your old life and continue your old ways. You do not what so ever want to be there, but as days go by, it gets better and better. I arrived on a Friday night around 7pm. After paperwork and everything, i was up on the fourth floor and in my bedroom by 830 pm. I pretty much was given a pillow and a blanket and was told to sleep. I had no idea how things were ran or what the next day was going to be like. My roommate, was the best roommate anybody could ever ask for. He was so upbeat and helped me find my way around the place. He is truly who made me feel as if I was at home. We had talks and he helped me emotionally and mentally and reassured me it would just get better each day, now at first i didn\'t believe, but as time went on, i realized, he was very much so right. See, my initial thought was maybe to manipulate the system and try to get out of there as fast as possible. That is not the way you want to go. Just accept the fact that you\'re already there and get the most out of it as possible. Enjoy your stay! The staff members are absolutely great. Karma the nurse, she is fantastic. I love her to death and she was truly a role model to me. That woman works so hard, it\'s unfathomable how hard she works. She treated me like her own and she cares for every child there. You see, these reviews are all negative because the children made negative choices. If you try your best and have the mindset that you\'re there to get better, you will enjoy your time. The ones who are starting fights and causing drama and getting in trouble are the ones who aren\'t going to enjoy the place. just embrace it! Kory, Charles, David, Cale, Christian, Alex and his brother are also all staff members in which i felt were very caring. I learned a lot from this place and it truly helped me as a person deep down. My counselor Colten was fantastic. That man was one hell of a counselor. He helped me figure out who I was. He made me realize that life will be hard but there are ways to cope with it. He is an amazing fellow. Overall, this place changed my life and I will forever remember Lincoln Prairie as a positive aspect in my life.

My son goes here.

Giggles Bloody Murder

Truly bitersweet. I get anxiety when I think about this place and that is a terrible thing to happen considering it should help. I was lied to, patronized, belittled, and disrespected while here, and that\'s just the employess. Nevermind my peers. But, while here, I, also, smiled and grew to care for others. Most will bond with at least one peer or employee while here and that makes it kind of okay. I wouldn\'t recommend it, ONLY, because the whole purpose is to help you with skills that once you are discharged will assist you. It is hard to leave here for many because you get comfortable and used to avoiding most triggers that await at home. And when you leave it is so strange like you enter an entirely different world. Some don\'t want to leave because abuse awaits at home and you would be surprised how many kids get sent back to abusive homes without \"sufficient\" evidence. Anyways, in conclusion, if you are not a tough cookie, don\'t go here. It will break you down. BEWARE OF: T\'NISSA (LIAR), YOUNG JOHN IN COMIC SHIRTS (PATRONIZONG), ALANA (BLATANTLY RUDE), and KARMA (BETRAYING). TRY TO FIND: JESSA (RELATABLE), TORI (CHILL), DRE (CARING), JOHNNÉ (TOUGH LOVE), NICOLE (SWEETIE), MARVIN (FRIENDLY), LOGAN (NICE), Z (FUNNY), and (SOMETIMES) AMANDA.

Serena Seyferth

I find it really sad to go through these reviews, and hear these terrible things, but while I was hospitalized here it helped me. Although the Dr. rarely ever saw me, and the same lessons get taught every two to three weeks, most of teh staff I had really tried their best to help out... I just wish that people could see what the staff members are like, and yes there are some who are terrible peopel to work there but, there are those who will help and be kind...

Jennifer Peavler

My son has an outpatient therapist, Julieann Robinson, and she is the best therapist ever. There is never a fight to get him up to go to his appointments because she treats him kindly and aims it around his needs.

Jessica Price

They allow the children to curse scream fight and Dr lies about medication!!! DO NOT LET THEM \"TREAT\" YOUR CHILD!

Briana Rae

I was admitted to this hospital, and they really helped me. I had been to others before and they never made me any better. It was easy to reach people and the staff was very kind and considerate during my stay. They listened to me and my needs, and never once did I feel doubted. I am in school, and I had tutors and teachers to help me through the period I was there. I definitely recommend this hospital!

Laura L

I googled Lincoln Prairie today for their phone number. I couldn\'t believe the reviews I read as their Google match popped up. My heart goes out to any child who stayed there and did not have a good experience. It should be life altering for the better, not the worse. After talking to the person I needed to in accounting, I asked to be transferred to the Center\'s communications director. Sadly, he was not aware of any of these reviews. I asked him to look at the reviews, respond to those who posted ... individually ... as well as sharing these posts with staff to increase awareness of their potential actions and posting what corrective actions have been taken to improve such an important program for teens needing help for mental illness and substance abuse. My understanding is their goal is a short stay for detox, safety, and stabilization of their patients. Our family\'s situation had a positive outcome, other than the lack of nursing attention - as simple as a request for Neosporin for skin abrasions (acquired prior to admission). All of the Center\'s current and former patients are in my prayers and I hope Lincoln Prairie takes your voices seriously. Everyone is a child of God and should be treated as such - even us - as parents, who so deeply love our kids and took the courageous step to entrust our children into the hands of the staff in this Center. I hope the Center holds up the mirror and reflects on these very troubling posts.

Lakin Kluge

I don\'t think the hospital itself helped at all... it felt like prison. However, Sabrina truly made me feel like I\'m worthy of life. Sabrina and Tori are the best staff memebers there. They made me feel welcomed and helped me overcome a lot of things. I know feel more comfortable in my own body thanks to them. The biggest help I got there was by far by the other girls I met. Although we had boundaries it was nice being able to talk to someone about my experience and having them understand bc they had been through a lot as well. I now know I\'m not the only one and if I leave due to these issues then that shows others it\'s okay to do the same. If there\'s one thing I love it\'s helping others and many of the girls on my floor helped show me that you gotta help yourself in order to help others around you.

Reese Scales

It’s not the best, but I only experienced the Partial-Hospitalization side of Lincoln Prairie, I got into PHP in August and left at the beginning of November. I was there for my Depression and Anxiety, my depression was bad but I made it up in my mind that suicide was never going and never will be the answer for me. My parents were pushing for in-patient but I wasn’t having the suicidal tendencies, my first day wasn’t bad at all, welcomed by Jesús and everybody else in the “class”. Jesús was strict as in making sure you stay on task and make sure you’re learning but at other times he kept it lively and fun with his witty jokes here and there. It’s a Shame that he left but I heard he went on to a better paying job where I think he’ll be valued more, overall one of the best staff there. Then there’s Grace, just Grace, as basic as they come really, she’s what really made me come to PHP the days I did, it’s that she was such a fun, pure-spirited person that was THE stereotypic white girl and brought fun back into my life. She was the friend I needed to guide me through the darkness I guess, yeah the lessons get repetitive here and there but you actually have to want to get better to use the lessons. It was sad to see some kids just not try and then seeing them get discharged because they couldn’t change. And then there was Orlando, he replaced Jesús for a while until being put on the Pediatric side, Orlando is a really “good dude” as he would say it, he was also the main reason I started going more frequently he made it feel like the cool uncle/grandpa or whatever was there. He’s a wholehearted person that truly does care for you and wants you to succeed through the program. And then there was Jared, the Greenbay Packers loving leprechaun, he was pretty strict like a teacher from a private school but if you didn’t act up like I did he was actually a cool dude that likes video games like me and making his way through night school. It’s was also really easy for me to make friends here with almost everybody but it will definitely be hard if you or your child isn’t a very social person or is socially awkward, as I saw there was definitely a class divide as in “popular” kids/social kids vs. “nerdy” kids/socially awkward or loners I guess. I fell in between these too so I could relate and fit in with both sides. It’s also really evident that a VERY LARGE PORTION of the kids that were here had very little or didn’t have any manners whatsoever. They just really didn’t give a f***, kids that had been sent here multiple times still never realized that you can’t solve problems in the real world by fighting or cussing all the time. Don’t think that I’m some goody-two-shoes, I just know when and where to be a d*ckhead lol. It has its problems but I gained from my experience there and hated having to leave, but from what I hear stay away from in-patient until further notice. “Why can’t everyone be like Grace” lol

KAILY GRAZAR

i loved the staff, they felt like family but the whole time i was scared for my life. i felt like i was being punished for what i felt and did. i was there for 17 days and still didn\'t get the help i needed they began to just repeat the same lessons after a week.

LeAnne Young - Rice

Lincoln prairie is awesome! #forthekids

JAnn Ridgeway

It\'s where my son has been going on for many years for help and now I\'m bringing in my daughter for help and hoping that both my kids can get the help that they need this is the only place I know of that will give him the help that they need that\'s close enough to where I can still see them

Katy-Cat Weeaboo

I was here for 2 weeks for depression. Staff was verbally abusive and disrespectful. Whenever there was conflict between patients the staff would say \"ignore it\" and would do nothing to solve the problem. There was a boy there who got in trouble for touching girls inappropriately and I was scared to death he would try to rape me. I was allergic to the soap and they claimed \"that was all they had\". Showers were COLD, and that can actually screw with your heart. My roommate was ALWAYS talking about sex, and it was the loneliest time of my life. I STILL have nightmares that I am back at that horrible place. Food was terrible, and they pointed out I lost weight while I was there and they seemed to wonder why. Well the food was practically inedible, and I tried to dehydrate myself while I was there. When you were crying they would basically ignore you or tell you to go to your room and \"cool off\". Just thinking about it there makes me cry. Talking about it like this is the hardest thing ever. I looked up signs of trauma and I\'m showing a lot of them, which I wasn\'t before I was imprisoned there. The music I listen to is one of the only things that helps, and I had no access to it. It takes forever to get admitted, and I was taken there by myself, by ambulance, at 3am, so I had to fill out the paperwork MYSELF. When I was admitted they did a \"body check\" where they strip you down to your underwear and point at every mark on your body (even if it\'s a birthmark) and interrogate you about it. I lied a lot to my psychiatrist so I could get out faster. They have cameras in your room, and that in my opinion is just wrong, and they make you leave the door open 24/7. Basically the only privacy you get is the bathroom, and even that has an open space at the top of the door where someone could look in. If your child MUST be sent somewhere for there behavior, take them to METHODIST in Peoria. That is where I was diagnosed with depression, and the staff was empathetic, caring, and nice. For the love of God, if you and your child are in the behavioral health division of your hospital, and they say you are being transported to Lincoln Prairie, DEMAND they transport your child instead to Methodist, and if they won\'t, TAKE YOUR CHILD HOME. They are better off there.

Xelvatus

I spent a week and a half in this horrid hospital and that alone was enough to make things worse. I came to LP for suicidal thoughts and attempts due to a huge family dispute that broke the said family apart. Very few (as in 1 or 2) people who worked here were actually helpful than those who simply did not care. No person in need of psychiatric assistance should be placed in a hospital as horrible as this. This place needs to fire it\'s current staff and hire an entire new crew, reform entirely, or out right get shut down.

I was there back in 2014 or 2015 and the nurses and doctors there treated me amazing and they were just all around extremely helpful to me (:

Haley Klein

good

Tevon M

The staff seem like they\'re street hired college kids who don\'t care about patients. 3 times ive called to speak on the phone with my loved one, and those 3 times ive been put on hold, and did not get to speak to them. 6 hours of being on hold and waiting you would assume i would. Some nights / different staff are better. I called again soon after, told the lady what happened, and got straight into a phone call in 5 minutes. Seems sorta unprofessional. Just my opinion but i wouldnt send someone here again. Unity Point in peoria or nothing.

Anonymous Girl

I visited Lincoln Prairie for the first time when I was 15 (2014/2015 I can\'t quite remember the year). This was also my first time being hospitalized for my mental health. The first time I was there I was on the girls floor and it was horrible. It was disgusting...girls would throw pads onto the ceilings in bathrooms and smear them on walls, many girls there were EXTREMELY violent and delusional and I was scared every day and I never felt safe. I was going through a very very dark and rough period of my life for about 2 years.The only staff member who actually treated me decent was, Karma. She was like the mother to us and she made us feel slightly better when we were having really bad days. Heidi was funny at times and was good at making us laugh but she was also extremely rude. I have many physical and mental health disorders and one of my physical health problems is a genetic disorder that causes me to dislocate my joints frequently and I have learned how to put them back in place because I have dealt with this since I was 8 years old but it still is extremely painful. There was one point when we were doing an exercise group and Heidi was the leader of it and it already was a type of exercise that is very difficult for my body. While I was exercising one of my knees dislocated and I put in back in but I stood up and asked Heidi if I could get an ice pack for my leg and she basically laughed and made me feel like I just was being lazy and didn\'t want to exercise because I am overweight which was not the case. Later when I called my mom to vent about it Heidi was laughing and was yelling at me while I am on the phone that I shouldn\'t tell my mom about what happened so I don\'t worry her. Bridget was also amazing when she was working there. She is such a wonderful woman and we felt like she truly cared about us. So that first time I visited LP I was in there for 2 weeks I think but I basically lied to get out because I hated how I was treated. 2 days later I attempted to kill myself again and I had to be sent back. This time it was for 32 days and I was on the co ed(boys and girls) MISA floor. It was terrible. There was another patient who was a boy there and he was there for nearly the whole time I was in there. He sexually assaulted me, manipulated me, made me feel like dirt and like I was nothing and like he owned me because I couldn\'t get out of that prison/hospital. He told me if I told anybody he would spread rumors about me to all the other patients on the floor. There was another girl in there that I got really close with and she kept encouraging me to tell someone and so I finally worked up enough courage to tell a staff member what was going on and she didn\'t believe me at all. I suffered days and days of mind torture and him groping me and feeling me. The staff never even noticed and it\'s not like they actually would have cared or done something about it if they knew. We would sit around a table and play card games and he told me to sit next to him and I was scared so I did. The chairs we had were big and comfortable and no one noticed during any of the card games we played together the times he grabbed me or if my hands were under the table how he would slowly grab my hand and place it on his thigh. I was disgusted. When we ate lunch in the cafe since we couldn\'t sit at the same table as the boys he made me sit directly at the table across from him so he could stare at me and it was so creepy. There were times on the girls floor when they literally would get so many girls in there that there would be mattresses on the floor in the hallway. I have been home schooled my whole life and I have always had friends and social interaction but I had never had such disgusting and horrible experiences like this. There were even staff members that teased me when I was having panic attacks because they felt I was over reacting. Since I have been to LP I have been diagnosed with PTSD due to events that happened to me and things that I saw while in there. I would never recommend this disgusting hospital to anybody at all.

dove

I\'m Lydia Graves, I went here last summer. Karma, the nurse, was great. But I still have nightmares almost every night, and I dread going to the regular hospital because I\'m terrified even by the hand rails along the wall because they look like the ones from LP. My mom says now that she would rather lock me in a room with nothing to keep me safe than send me back. I\'m not saying that it\'s a bad place, go if you need to, really. They have nice people that can help you. I apologize, I just kind of needed to tell my experience.

Kimberly Cheek

Understanding and caring. This place has helped my son control his depression and anger. He was not pumped full of drugs. This place does help.

Katie Nothing

I loved it there. I miss it. I was admitted for suicide attempts, self harm, homicidal thoughts and schizophrenia. I\'ve been three twice. And honestly; the staff treat me better than my actual family does. I cry whenever I think about it. I was in there the first time from Thanksgiving to after Christmas. The next time, I was in there for two months. I really miss ms.karma most of all. I still have drawings and pictures that people and staff have made for me. They truly helped me and I would go back if I needed too without a second thought.

olivia kink

1/5. Experience there was terrible, would not recommend!!!!

Smiley Kylee

I have been here twice. The first time I had Alana(the therapist in the wheelchair) She was awful. She did not care at all about my feelings and got mad when I wouldnt answer a question I was uncomfortable talking about. She only cared about filling out her paper work and not about my actual well-being. I got along well with most of the staff though. My second time being there I had an amazing therapist who really helped me alot <3 Amber was one of my favorite staff members and was such a sweetheart. The food could have been better and most times the food was cold once it got to the 4th floor. It is definitely a scary place the first time you go but well its good to get a taste of the real world and hear other people\'s experiences. I wish we could have had more alone time to think but thats okay. I didnt enjoy the no touching rule due to the fact that I need that physical touch to help me sometimes.

Jorie Clark

This is a prison. Someone depressed and suicidal but relatively normal should not be forced to be around violent criminally insane patients. The staff treats the patients like trash. They simply don\'t care. They\'re abusive verbally and treat even the most normal of children like they\'re all prisoners. It\'s incredibly unsafe and there are horror stories of patients sexually assaulting other patients. It\'s a terrible place to send ANYONE and overall makes their conditions much worse. This place needs to be upgraded or shut down.

Lauren Schulz

I stayed there for a week then went to residential. I was admitted to Lincoln praise for self harm, and suicide attemp. When I got there, I had a deep cut on my left arm and the \"Doctor\" put gauze then masking tape on my arm. Yes masking tape. They had nothing to offer to anybody. Most of the staff didn\'t even care, and they were extremely disrespectful. They were yelling at the kids and were calling them inappropriate names, yes the staff was. Also, when I was there u had to stay in a crammed room all day with a bunch of other people, and if u left or went into the hallway they yelled at u to get back in the room. After I left Lincoln prairie I felt even worse than when I did when I was admitted. I definitely do not recommend sending ur child or teen here because it\'s extremely unsanitary and the staff are not capable of handling children that need help.

panda on fire

I was there for a week and a half. Put me on all the drugs they could. I wasn\'t suicidal and wanting to do things I would of never done. You guys are the worst hospital ever. I don\'t understand why you guys are still up and trying to make people \"happy\"

Amber Jones

This facility is a joke!!! Both of my sons have been there and neither received help! During my autistic sons stay, he\'s had physical fights w peers and staff have no idea what happened!! My son has the mentality level of a 5 year old, but yet my son has the marks of the physical contact made and my son gets secluded and drugged up because he was acting aggressively afterwards, well I think I would too! They\'ve lied to me bout my sons care and also decreased meds he came in on without my permission!! Don\'t ALLOW YOUR CHILD to go here!!!!!

CHEYENNE ALLEN

I been there for a month they don\'t care for you if you get into fights they just drug you up then also they put you on meds that you don\'t need until the meds make you that that illness. Also the women name Karma she is the worst she is never there is the best because the staff member\'s let you do things and let you be free but Karma is the worst she thinks she all this and that when she isn\'t. It;s not fun there they won\'t move you to a different room if your roommate beats you up i learned that they don\'t really care about you.

Katie Lynn

Most traumatic experience of my life... The staff is verbally abusive. They treat every child like they\'re animals. I had the flu and they made me sit in solitary confinement for 24 hours (so i didnt get others sick) which was actually the laundry room with dirty clothes and food everywhere. They didn\'t let me out to use the bathroom even once when i had extreme stomach problems and when i threw up on the plastic \"couch\" i was sleeping on, i was banging on the door for hours to get their attention to clean it up and about 2 hours later of sleeping with it in the room a nurse finally came in there and yelled at me, calling me \"retarded\" for throwing up. I also had my period and i asked them for a pad and they never gave me one, they never let me do my laundry either, so i wore the same bloody pants for 7 days in a row. You have to \"earn\" doing laundry, it is a \"privilege\" there... They also did not give me my medication because they ran out and i didnt sleep or eat for days, i tried to kill myself inside of there and i was too scared to tell them because it was a living hell in there.. Most traumatic experience of my life. Do not ever send your children there, they will never be the same after they go there...

I was sent here for suicidal thoughts, extreme depression, anxiety and having a plan, physical abuse and sexual abuse. I was sent there on August 18th to September 19th. 5 days till my birthday and Alana ( the lady in the wheelchair said I might bot be going home for my birthday ) and I became more and more suicidal and depressed and she didn\'t care at all. Only a couple of the staff cared the rest were rude or didn\'t care about your feelings. They made fun of a girl for having a baby at the age of 14 and that only happened because she was rapped. And I felt bad for her because I know how she felt. I got put on social restriction for talking to someone about why I was there, wasn\'t that part of being to tell peiple your story. It is like a prison there, you go outside once and that\'s it, they say because it\'s lack of staff, you sit and stare at the same four walls everyday all day. I got in trouble for asking to go to the bathroom when it was time for bed, you get in trouble for petty things. They don\'t care about your feelings or why you\'re there they care about the money and being in control of you. It\'s a horrible place, they had bugs falling from the ceiling and crawling all over the floor, the food was cold. And it\'s like living in a nightmare. Enough said.

This place was an absolute joke. I was sent there 2 times. Both for suicide attempts and they we verbally abusive towards me. They criticized me for every thing. The food was cold, bugs everywhere, and ur clothes didn\'t even get cleaned properly. The therapist Alana, woman in the wheel chair, she got mad when I refused to talk about touchy subjects, wouldn\'t allow me to talk to my family about when I get to leave. I got locked in a room for hours after forcing my way to the bathroom cuz they wouldn\'t let me go when I needed to. They said I was being aggressive. One shot attempt almost killed me since they didn\'t read my file to know I was allergic to resperdal, and it could kill me by throwing me into a seizure. They belittled u, criticized u, and made u fell like all around crap. I\'ve got to say that was the worst place I have ever been in my life. If any parent has any common sense, DO NOT SEND UR CHILD HERE! IT\'S UNSANITARY! The staff are rude, disrespectful and only care about their pay checks and getting out of there when their shift is over. The therapists don\'t help. The doctors don\'t help and they don\'t even communicate with ur family or u to find out what further problems ur even having. If u miss one phone call and ur family calls back, they won\'t let u answer it. Bloody tampons on the floors, puke on the floors, food, no wonder I always got sick in there. Awful place. Its a prison. Never send ur kid there. NEVER!!

Had a family member there. No communication with supporting aftercare agencies. Discharged with no returned calls to school or supporting agencies.

My daughter was sent here after having suicidal thoughts. My daughter has been \"sheltered\" her whole life. She is just a normal teen being normal. After a counselor recommended this place, making it sound like this grand wonderful place where they have yoga, basketball, and various activities along with getting help. That was a big joke. My daughter was a prisoner. They promote family communication, but if i missed the phone call, her one call was over. She was put with teens that had severe emotional problems. Her roomate was on pencil & crayon restriction for stabbing people. Yet she had plenty of pencils. My daughter was scared to sleep at night. Staff sounded nice on the phone, but tell her she used her incoming phone calls when she had not. I couldnt get her out!! The staff uses foul language. Some girls threw their tampons and the blood was on the wall and floor for days! Unexceptible! I wish i would have read these reviews before i sent her. My daughter has never encountered the type of people they have in there. I only once talked to a counselor. Never a therapist or dr like they promised. No communication even though i left messages. Plus they were going to take \"care\" of her homework while she missed school. Never happened. (Their fax machine was broke) only after leaving a message saying im sure fax machines on other floors work 5 days later, did she get her work. I caution any parent of a normal child to NEVER send your child here.
