I when there yesterday to visit my husband he says the beds are good the food is good and I like his counselor and therapist they gave us a really good ideas how to communicate with each other and his family however most of the nurses there are very rude and that should learn to still have respect for the patients there should not be so rude to them because my husband on the phone with me and I heard one of the nurses yelling at him and there are no times when they cannot talk on the phone so I do not know why they were responding to my husband like that but I do not appreciate it at all if nothing is done about this my husband never come there again or anyone else that I talk to.

Don't go there! Don't send your family there! They only care about you paying and if you can't you get taken out after 72 hours. If you have good insurance, get ready to be STUCK there forever. These people are rude and mistreat the patients when/if they even perform any treatment on these people. All the patients do is just sit around and do nothing until it's time to drug you up so you sleep. They don't do any work!! The only help we got was the Patient Advocate that assisted in getting my wife help. My wife requested to see her for 4 days straight and the nurses never relayed the message! I had to be flown in from overseas just to get anything done, because you definitely can't get anything done over the phone! They will mistreat/not give you your rights given to you by law!! The food choices are horrible and you will be backed up for 2 weeks until you need chemicals to clean your system. If you didn't have mental issues before going in, you will when you leave.

My Mother was admitted to the Senior Care Unit for depression and dementia. She received the best of care and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful doctor she had. Dr. Kennedy turned her around and gave me my mother back. Her kindness, compassion, and expert care is unlike any we had previously experienced with other physicians. The CEO often came by during Visiting time to make sure we were satisfied! Please know this place is a true lifesaver. If you read this Brentwood please tell Dr. Kennedy she is appreciated and respected greatly.

I’m going to preface this by saying that I was not actually admitted to this hospital, but I was sent there by my pediatrician and have visited the building to be evaluated and possibly treated for moderately severe depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. I cannot personally attest to the atrocities described in the hospital reviews, but after interacting with the staff and seeing the vast majority of patients "zombified" by medication, I can say that I would not be surprised if every one of these horrible stories were true. The staff truly did seem indifferent to the suffering of their patients, and the building itself was not clean, nor did it seem to have proper security measures in place. During my evaluation, I heard screams and sobs down the hallway through the paper thin walls, and heard another potential patient next door retell his heartbreaking struggle with addiction, homelessness, and the horrors of the mental health system. He said it so robotically, like he had repeated it many, many times. I felt the same way as I explained my own struggles to a seemingly uninterested nurse. She would periodically leave and come back, leaving me alone for fifteen minutes at a time, and I was left wondering what would happen if I had tried to kill myself then and there. No one could see me; there was no supervision or surveylence of any kind. I could have done it and no one at the hospital would have batted an eye. I would be labeled as insane and put in a postmortem "box," signifying that I was too ill to even live through the interview. But, luckily, I did not take my own life in the cumulative hours that passed by alone in that room. In the end, it was recommended that I stayed in in-patient care for 28 days. But I had school. So they said outpatient would be fine, too, also for 28 days... which was from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. School takes up the same hours, and I live an hour away. I think they took me for an idiot. I eventually managed to lie my way out of there; I said that I was not messed up — my life was — and I would be better off learning to cope at home than drooling in a medicated haze at the hospital. I was 14. They let me go, but not after checking my mom's insurance card. I still have nightmares about what would have happened if I had been admitted. I can tell you right now that there is a very good chance that I would not be alive, had that been the case. At the very least, I would not be me. The day after my near hospitalization, I cut ties with my father: the source of my overwhelming feelings of guilt and worthlessness — and my life has improved so much. My grandparents say that I smile again, and I have changed in ways that they could not even dream of. It was a tough road getting here, but I can honestly say that the struggle has helped me become who I am today, and I would not be as understanding, or compassionate, or willing to help others if I had not gone through all of this. Today is special for me: it marks the six-month "anniversary" of my last suicidal thought. My depression dwindled away after I cut ties with my father — but I will be completely honest with you — my depression is not yet completely gone, but it is considerably smaller than it was before. I have done this without medication. Without therapy. I am not saying this is the answer for everyone — if you feel like you need medical attention, that’s okay — please, do not be afraid to seek help. I am simply communicating my story in the hope that it will help someone else. And if you are a parent or a loved one, above all, be there for your them. Listen to them. Ask them what they want and what they need. Teach them coping methods, not how to take pills. Make them their favorite food. Give them healthy hobbies and ways to fill their time. I have personally fallen in love with gardening, and highly recommend it for improving mental health. Give your loved one space when they need it; let them grow. Foster self-love and new ways to express their emotions. Most importantly, you need to remember to love them, and never give up on them. <3

Don't go to this place. It's always been dirty. They don't care about your well being. Everyone is rude. All they care about is the $$$. Look into other places. All there programs they offer are bogus. And they will take anyone who has the $$$. Please please please don't go there. You will be worst than better.

charlene overton

Amazing wen I ask for my child to be move to another room they did right then and the so with kids they are great

Stephanie Childress

My 12 year old son recently had severe anger issues that we couldn't get control of. He was sent to Brentwood (which is five hours from us). So far we have been so impressed with the help our son has gotten. We are called daily with medication changes, or to let us know they are staying the same. The counselor (Terrie) is wonderful and so helpful. She not only helps our son but gives me ideas on how to deal with outbursts. So far we have had a productive good stay!

Love Saffie

Never go here!!! I had to stay for 8 days. And there was nothing wrong with me!!!!! THEY JUST WANY MONEY!!! they are so mean and rude and make you think you insane

Awk Dab

Met my gf here

Kelly Hartzog Virani

My daughter is there now and has been for a week and I have left messages three times and still have not heard back from anyone about her release order wellbeing. I hate this place. They took a depressed 15 year old girl away from the family that loves her.

Phaedra Perkins

Staff is rude, incompetent, and will not respect a patient's rights by law. You will not receive counseling. There is zero consistency from staff as it pertains to rules and group sessions. Expect to not get any fresh air or outside time for days at a time. Also be prepared to just sit in the day room for hours on end each day. Even if you sign in voluntarily, you nor your family, nor your physicians will have any input on when you are released or transferred. Regardless of your reasons for reaching out for help, you will be treated immediately as if you have no rights as a human being. We sat in a group session for 2 hours listening to all the problems and issues of the supposed counselor running the session. Most of the staff will tell you they have worse mental problems than you do. You will hear over and over again how much work they have to do-as they sit and gossip and laugh and push papers around, and you cannot even get someone to unlock a bathroom for you. Dr. Yusefj herself told me she was not there to talk to me or provide resources, merely prescribe drugs. If you have good insurance, you will be stuck. If your insurance runs out, that's when you will leave. If you are sincerely seeking help, look elsewhere. At Brentwood, the inmates are running the asylum.

Zachary Colvinn

Slow and unprofessional! Spouse was punched in jaw ones and her hair pulled and drug to the floor. When punched she was not removed from the floor or seperated from other patient.

ashley abrusley

My mom, counselor, and I voluntarily checked myself in when I was 14 because I was very much suffering from anxiety and depression. I checked myself in because I truly wanted help and it was the closest facility that accepted minors. I’m 22 now and mentally healthy, however the things I saw in this place still haunts me to this day. I lasted less than 48 hours and I was begging my mom to get me out. I witnessed some of the most traumatic things a 14 year old could ever witness inside of this “hospital.” I can’t even speak about the things I saw here because it was that intense. Looking back, it seems like an episode from American Horror Story. Do NOT send your child here please. It’s not worth it.

peggy Lebouef

Thus place needs to be SHUT DOWN. Some of the doors and Windows are LITERALLY boarded shut. The ceiling panels are water stained. The staff is RUDE and hates it if you actually know how the system works. I see Medicaid fraud happening right now. My child is legit ready to come home but they are just keeping her for the$$$. There is nothing I can do to get my baby out. THEY own her now. Until Medicaid won't pay anymore..DO NOT go here!!!

luke rutledge

These parasites are nothing more than drug dealers and clowns.the idiots mock those they're supposed to help and whine about how hard their jobs are.id sympathize with them if the sorry sons of b*****s actually did any work.they will waste your Time,and keep you as long as they can so they can leech off your insurance.go look up how they're being investigated for fraud.no thanks you guys got compared to Sonic workers, do you honestly believe I give a damn about your customer service?why'd you hire a child molester?your hospital is a joke,it's public knowledge if you hadn't heard.i would get in contact with them but y'all can't seem to answer your phone, that's pathetic, what's the matter?short on "professionals"?you hire people from the bottom of the barrel to cut costs,that's public knowledge too if you hadn't heard the news.

Mary Riney

If I could give this place zero stars I would, lets just say this place needs to be shut down. They do not follow court ordered papers from texas, do not care about letting your kids see their abusers, compromise peoples mental health, and the list goes on. Not only do they not follow court order papers, they violated hippa laws. Which I have recorded. If it was not for my lawyer my son would have been tortured for months. They also take little kids off meds instantly and do not wing them off of them without your permission. I have no clue how they get away with what they do, but DO NOT GO HERE!

Darrel Davis

This place is terrible with how they treat children. The staff are lazy and they treat all children like they are adult criminals. They are also known to participate in insurance fraud with false diagnosis. If you know that your child is not crazy and if he/ she is admitted, do not let them medicate or participate in the PHP programs which the doctors tend to treat them as experiments rather than patients. The facility is also dirty and my child came home with lice and bed bugs. There was a 5 year old child there that was sedated frequently because the staff didn't want to deal with her.

kayla sims

The supervisor of the outpatient clinic is the RUDEST lady I have ever came across IN LIFE! She really needs to lose her job for being so rude! If this hospital would stop hiring rude people this place wouldn't have such bad reviews!

g x

Worst place ever.They keep the blinds closed so you cannot look out the window, the staff look at at you like you are stupid, waiting for you to "snap", so they can put you in the section isolated from the other people,and there really isn't anyone to talk to, and if you refuse anything they keep you there longer.They can all go straight tohell.

Ashlynn Williams

This place is the absolute worst. The nurses are lazy. The food is disgusting, and you will gain a lot of weight. If you’re on a diet you can forget it! Going here is going to make you gain tons of weight. One of the nurses her name is “Dee” she is very lazy. She takes breaks all day to go smoke and see her boyfriend. The other nurses besides her and another are very sweet and actually do their job. In my forced week of being there, I witnessed a lot. They had a patient come in who should’ve been with the seriously ill people. She came in insulted everyone and the nurses allowed her to do so. She harassed many of the other patients and assaulted one of them over a toothbrush and Dee left for a smoke and to talk to her boyfriend and the other nurse did absolutely nothing about it! I went in voluntary for anxiety and they are supposed to allow you to leave in 72hrs, but they lied and told me I was having suicidal thoughts when I blantly told them I was NOT having suicidal thoughts. The doctor basically forced me onto medicine that made me sleep, which I do NOT need because I sleep perfectly fine and went up on every dose WITHOUT telling me. Dr. Yusufji kept me longer than I was supposed to stay because I refused to take medicine I did not need.

Alexander

This place tramatized me as a child and only served to scar me mentally. You are essentially a lab rat given numerous psychoctic drugs, until they find that magic one that makes you the "normal" person society needs you to be. This place nearly ruined my childhood and caused my mother so much grief. Only now looking back does she realize what a mistake this place was. I have been medicine free, therapy free, and psychiatrist free for 5 years now, and on my way to a better and brighter future because of it. All in all, Brentwood is the most inhumane place I have ever been to. The bacon was pretty nice though.

Graeme Fowler-Sandlin

Outpatient receptionist was incredibly rude and hung up on me twice. The doctors have been great but their support staff is absolutely shameful.

Harley Dog

You go to the gym every day and I had the best time!

Elizabeth Gomez

I came to this facility asking for help when I felt like my world was falling apart. At first, i did not have that much expectation because no one I know had been here. However, the help I got here was more than what I expected. The staff members were actually nice to me. The doctor who attended to me made me feel like I was getting my money’s worth. The processing of my bill was fast, too.

Rene

I’m going to keep this short and to the point. DO NOT send anyone you love there ! They trap them there as they are abused. They take children who have mental health needs and traumatize them further. To top it off you are stuck with a huge bill.

Shelley Mobley

Never ever send anyone to this hellhole!! This place is awful! My dad was treated terrible and so were we! Dr Kennedy does not call family and let them know anything. No one not one person contacted us for 13 days we could not get him out of this place!! We only knew what was going on from us calling in and talking to the nurses when we didn’t get hung up on!! This place doesn’t even deserve one star but I have to give it that to leave a review!! I hope u never put your loved one there to be traumatized!! It’s awful and we still haven’t found anyone to complain to!! I hope u drive 5 hours away to get treated better than this!!!

Marie

My family member was in here twice and both times we called everyday and the nurses and doctor refused to give us answers never called us back and didn’t even tell us a date to pick up our family member. On top of that one of the techs that took care of them openly told us he was higher than a freaking kite. I do not recommend!

Ronnie Cross

My wife was there for over a month starting for the first 30 days she was only taking her heart medicine and then they started injections in the next month on the 17th and wanted to release her on 22th, and she wasn't ready to be released. She had not even started her mental health meds at all!! I set up a time and date to pick her up bc of my hip surgery the next month, and they just bring her home the day of my appointment without calling or any notice at all. I think Dr. Kennedy for everything she did to help. But the problem is a major lack of communication, between the Drs and the families, and the medical staff and the social workers. I heard one thing from the medical staff and other from the social worker, and never talked to one Doctor at all. It's not the hospital, it use to be. Period

somebody

I went there and they helped me but the nurses are very rude. I had asked to call my mom because for the adolescent girls unit, phone time is at 5 and it was 6. well no one was on the phone so I asked ms. Ashley if i could since my little brother goes to sleep early. She said" yea just a minute" so I sat back down and she starts calling everyone else but me so I asked again and she started getting on to me for asking so I punched the wall because i wanted to call my mom and she wouldn't let me at fist. She eventually did but that made me mad. I was there for trying to kill myself. They don't really give individual therapy. They give group therapy 3 times a day though. Sometimes more. Its a great place for help but they really need some new nurses, especially Ms. Ashley. I don't even care if she reads this either. I was there for 11 days and I got home yesterday and I and so glad to be home
