Zoie Darci

I recently had a family member put here and reception is unbelievably rude and unhelpful. Trying to speak with anyone in the facility is impossible. If you have the opportunity to go somewhere else, please do. Don’t waste your time and energy here. Find a place that has common people hospitality.

Hayley Norris

i’ve done both inpatient and outpatient therapy here and i have to say that iop is where it’s at. the group therapist Sean is amazing at what he does and truly helped me grow. the van drivers also deserve a shoutout (especially Jason) for being so caring. thank y’all for everything.

Shay R.

I put my daughter in here and it only took 2 days for me to realize that I made a horrible mistake. The nurse called me to get permission for medications without telling me that they had diagnosed her with bipolar, which I know for a fact she does NOT have. When I went to visit her it took almost 30 minutes past the start time of visitation for them to get her to me. When I saw her, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked like a Zombie from all the medications they were giving her. SHE was the one who told me they had diagnosed her bipolar. At that point I told them to stop giving her medications, and I went and got her the next morning. They reported me to CPS for taking her out against doctors advice. My daughter told me she only talked to the doctor for a few minutes. How can anyone slap a diagnosis of bipolar on anyone that they’ve only talked to for 5 minutes? This place is horrible. There were kids crying to their parents to take them out of the jail like facility...it was heartbreaking. I highly recommend NOT putting your child in here. We are seeking individualized therapy, which I should have done all along.

Amber Cohen

I was in here with a friend of mine and the doctors are useless. We both struggled with substance abuse and got a fat we can’t help you. They also didn’t care that I went a week without eating their food. They let her go after three days once she promised to quit drinking, even shorter than I was there. She’s not here anymore after drugs took her. Don’t waste your money and time on this place don’t get your hopes up go somewhere with real help.

Laura Rucinsky

This hospital should not even receive one star. I was asked to join the hospital. This place is dirty. Used towels are given to patients. When I was hired I was told I would market one area. I arrived to work to be told by my Director that the hospital was going broke. There was no money for marketing. Could only go within a thirty mile radius of the hospital. Was told could not even expense one donut. The Director laughingly said the kitchen would bake cookies to send out to referral sources. The hospital refuses to hand out an Exclusionary to referral sources. They take patients they cannot take care of, patients with IVs, catheters, etc. The environment is dangerous for patients as well as staff, as they cant staff enough nurses and techs, as they cant pay them and who wants to be in this filthy hospital and get sick. Families were constantly in the lobby crying and upset as they were forbid to see loved ones. This place is one step above jail. Some of the families had drove hours to see their loved ones. I was asked to lie to referral sources and tell them we were equipped to service all patients. I would not take an animal here. Patients came in better than when they left. The State was constantly there evaluating care and complaints. Many patients come back complaining they did not have bed bugs when they arrived, but did when they got home. Incoming patients were not checked for bed bugs or other issues, as it was just about getting the patient in the bed to collect the insurance money. This place is so dirty. Housekeeping would reuse gloves, due to the fact the hospital had no money Stay FAR AWAY.

Kim Briery

Our son was there a year ago for a couple wks. The staff was clueless. We also did their php program with no better results. Things were so bad we ended up getting a full refund. The president of the company also promised my husband a place on their board committee so they could get an outside parent\'s view. After multiple conversations about it and yes this was their idea, we never heard another word.

Chelsea Shirley

Had to have my daughter admitted to the adolescent unit here. Its was crazy. The unit was an all out riot. Male patients fighting each other every minute of the day and assualting staff. I WAS able to speak with Dr. Vela and he answered all of my questions and helped us with outpatient coordination, so not all was a total waste of time. No child should fear for their safety while in the hospital and I regret the whole admission.

Benicio Ramirez

I had to have my Son admitted to Georgetown Behavioral Health Hospital and although it was a stressful situation the staff was very friendly and informative. It was clean and a safe environment for my Son. Having him at the hospital gave me peace of mind because I knew he was safe. The therapy sessions help him learn some skills to help him cope.

After reading the reviews, I had every expectation of having a bad experience. However, at every level in the process, from admission, to visitation, information from the unit and even to discharge, the staff was so awesome and willimg to help on every hand.. I was so pleased. RN Michelle and the staff in admissions were so patient and reassuring. I was so worried about my son. They took good care of him. Christa, Tiffany, Chen and the ladies in reception were so diligent. Their level of service was awesome. Keep up the good work.

Salma Diaz

the techs were nice the food was good, but the doctors don\"t give two f\'s about you!!! I spent 5 days in the DIRTY adolescent unit. Would not recommend this facility.

Elizabeth Sutherlin

If I could this place negative stars, I would. My daughter spent 1 week there on the adolescent unit. I received 2 phone calls from the Dr assigned to her; both were in regards to approving medication. The first time I got to visit her, she was HIGH AS A KITE! I immediately called to UN-authorize the medications they gave her. When I called to talk to her the next morning, she said THEY GAVE HER THE MEDICATION AGAIN! By the time they discharged her & I got to pick her up, the nurse that handled our paperwork was shocked that we never got a family counseling session. I told her I was shocked & disappointed by that also & she was able to get a counselor to come have a short session with us, but this particular one had never met my daughter & so she knew nothing about her. She started asking me questions & come to find out, she had the wrong child’s file — which led to a lot of confusion. Needless to say, I would NEVER recommend anyone sending their child to this place. I was specifically told by a couple other people throughout that week that GBHI is actually an insurance racket - & after seeing how they operate, sadly I can see how that could be true. Very disappointing.

Alex P

You have helped me address issues I had not been able to address properly. I owe each and everyone of you so much. Thank you Corinne

Cindy Miller

This was our first experience in a facility like this. My daughter was admitted for severe anxiety. She is a very shy person and never acts out. It felt like she was being punished for being there not to get help. They put her in a teen unit with other teens that had behavior issues and wanted to physically fight each other that made her anxiety worse! She was scared of that place and wanted to go home. One nurse at night had no idea what medication my daughter was suppose to be taking. I was so upset! Dr. Vega was the doctor that was apparently seeing my daughter and prescribing medication but WOULD NOT call or talk to me the parent at anytime about her progress (if any)!!! I called several times daily to ask the nurses for him to contact me regarding my daughter and he would not return any calls. If my child is in a mental health hospital, I WANT TO SPEAK WITH HER DOCTOR, FIND OUT WHATS GOING ON AND WHAT THE DR RECOMMENDS THE NEXT STEP IN RECOVERY. AS A DOCTOR THAT IS THEIR JOB TO COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS!! I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE. On one positive side, I will give a big thumbs up to nurse Laurie, she was the only one there that would have a discussion with me about how my child was doing and call me back. They need to get a replacement for Dr. Vega. Not communicating with a parent about their child is a HUGE MISTAKE!

Tasha Byler

This place is very bad. Not only did they take some of my vyvanse from my own prescription but after I left there my accounts to my bank which are my cards to frontier bank were taken along with my capital one credit card. The employees there behind the counter are really stealing from us. I don’t lie it’s really getting bad when I’ve had so much identity fraud done to me. That people are not even protected at a medical facility. I’ve had my identity stolen because of hackers in 2015 for being a federal employee and also when there was a breech of student loans. I’ve already gotten ahold of the Federal Trade Commission. Now these employees are under investigation and I know nobody is safe from identity fraud. I will no longer have a bank. Frontier better not let any of my money go missing. Because I’m closing the bank account tomorrow Sincerely, Tasha Byler

The care and service my daughter recieved at Georgetown Behaviorial Hospital was exceptional. The therapy my daughter recieved was beyond what we expected. After multiple facilities and long term treatment, georgetown behavioral was what our family needed for sucess. Tiffany and Danielle were so helpful and spectacular. Reccommended 10/10!!!!

Tiffany Dunning

MILITARY FAMILIES BEWARE! This place is a joke. Unprofessional. Military families with tricare, pick another place. This place will waste your time an your loved one will receive no help. The therapist an counselor\'s an doctor\'s are not good at their jobs. The intake people are amazing! But after the interview with the intake people the in house staff are a joke. 0 STARS IF I COULD.

Dustin Kemp

So the outpatient program is where it\'s at. I wouldn\'t advise anyone to go to the inpatient hospital. Outpatient program has a lot of good people such as swathi, corinne, Bj, pam, and omar are the nicest, sweetest people you could ever get help from. They really do their job here. But in all considerations they don\'t have there stuff together at all....

Glenna Knox

My daughter came home with bedbug bites all over her! I have pictures documenting the bites all over her body. Dr. Vega would not return our phone calls for 11 days straight. Absolutely unacceptable & appalling for a physician in care of our child to not respond for 11 DAYS! I have filed complaints & will be escalating his uexcusable behavior to newspapers & social media.

Robin Jones

I had to have my daughter admitted to the adolescent unit there. Long story short the doc and staff saved her life. Thank you.

katie belz

They are understaffed, the doctors want you in and out, the nurses are lousy at giving shots (which I have a brouse from 4 days ago) also lazy, the food is decent, there is nothing but to attend 3 classes, meal time, and then just sit down play uno, watch TV or color.... where adults that work and use to moving around. From 7-10:30 at night was all we did..... would not recommend this place. The techs that where amazing was debby Kim and nicey! They where amazing and didnt make us feel like patients that where crazy 24/7. Thank you three for everything you do.

B Davison

I have a mixed review. I had a good experience there earlier this year when I had to be there for a few days. I was on the unit with other adults and we pretty much went to different groups all day. There was another adult unit that had really crazy people so I was really glad I didn\'t have to go there. Tiffany was really good getting me set up with a therapist when I left and I really enjoyed the therapists Maysoon, Roeshell, and Joey and the different groups they did there. the therapists there have alot of patience because I know I was buggin them the whole time I was there as well as other people there and they never seemed to be annoyed. The doctor was ok. He seemed overworked. The whole team there made sure I knew what was going on and I really appreciated them going the extra mile with my family since I know my family was really difficult. The food sucked though and I wish I could have had my own shampoo for my hair but other than that everything was ok. They do need more cigarette breaks though. I recommended to a friend of a friend to have their family go there and she said some lady named Sabrina basically bullied her into taking her family to another facility and all week kept calling for her to pick up her mom. Why couldn\'t she get help there like I did? I know her mom is a handful but she is there to get help. Personally I would go back if I needed to because of Maysoon, Roeshell, and Joey making it feel less like a prison that I keep seeing in the comments but if Sabrina is still there I would not want to have to see her. No one should feel like they are not getting the help they need. its already stressful being there away from home.

Jamie Phelps

My organization has referred several patients here for stabilization during times of crisis and they have always reported feeling safe and cared for. I have done a tour of the hospital and it is bright, colorful ad clean. The chief psychiatrist Dr. Ali seems really invested in doing everything she can to help the patients who come into their care. I definitely recommend them if you are in need of mental health services.

Sharon Santistevan

The staff used deceptive tactics to get my friend to sign herself in. BEWARE: If the tell you that you can leave anytime you want, that is a LIE. The nurse (Melanie) even admitted it to me. I\'m not sure if that\'s industry standard or specific to this facility. Why would they want you to leave when they charge $2,200.00 per day? Also, for that amount of money they should be serving lobster instead of frozen mixed vegetables.

Fran Burney

Short term is was basically a locked place to put our troubled teen for his safety, however because they co-mingle the kids it\'s more of a dating pool than anything. Therapy is a joke. What kid is going to open up in from on a peer he is crushing on? Keep the boys and girls seperate and let the kids get the help they need. Also the staff may at one time been there to help but they are so tired or just don\'t care any longer that they just let the kids do whatever.

Cindy Onyekwelu

The Male Hispanic nurse would walk in the bathroom while the female intake patients were peeing and the would touch them to intimidate them. The nurses are also very uneducated about health insurance plans. Please bring new workers and fix their toxic ways. They don\'t know how to any thing lol. Shame

Aryn Jacob

I stayed in the adolescent female unit and I promise it\'s nothing like the photos. It is one step up from jail honestly. The room is dull and mattresses are usually torn somehow. We don\'t get chairs. They\'re all filled with sand. There is graffiti everywhere and they only let us use cards. It\'s run much like military. I went in January 2017 and many times afterward and I managed to attempt suicide while in their care during that stay. I was cussed out by staff and beat up many times. The other hospitals in the area aren\'t much better, but this one is really bad. If y\'all have any more questions about my experience my Instagram is ghost.in.the.stars if you wanna dm me.

Nicole Bobo

I\'ve never been to jail, but I felt like I was at frickin jail when I was there. Don\'t go here eever .

Mauro Grecio

Using another gmail account for privacy, but I was recently admitted to this facility. The food isn\'t great and some staff shouldn\'t work there but there was a few staff members who stood out. I also made some friends and got great treatment for my depression. The doctor I had, carmello, was awesome at listening to me and getting me what I needed. Thank you for helping me!

Greg

Useless place. Met with licensed doctor one time. Beds are plywood. Was told no money was needed as they provide everything. Could not even drink juice as it was being saved for needy patients. Ice/water machine broke for several days so warm water was only drink between meals. Choose another place. Have been to another rehab and this facility does not even deserve a rating. Keep you until insurance is bled dry and then release. In addition to being there for addiction had a broken knee. Prescribed medication were taken by staff and not allowed to be given. Would not place our dogs here much less a family member. The people running the group sessions could not relate to patients as they were far to young to have any experience. Jail provides better beds than here. Released in worst condition than when admitted. Took away my cane since it could be used as a weapon. I am 6 feet 2 inches and 300 weight. I could do much more damage than a cane. Say this one more time. DO NOT place any one you love here. A better choice would be to chain them up than placed here. No follow up done. This place does not give a f___ k about you. AA is much better even with its low percentage of success for its members. You are the only person that can decide the path in life you take. It ain’t there!

What a terrifying and immoral medical facility. They are understaffed with low-quality health professionals including the patient advocate, therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, medical doctors and front desk staff. We were completely misled in terms of what to expect- told at the outset we would get information on our family member's care, they would review her medical and psychiatric history and eventually collaborate with family on a plan to take her home. We got 0 phone calls from the facility despite being told daily someone would call us back ("in an hour, at 4pm, first thing in the morning"). At different times, we heard extremely unsettling shouting, sexual advances and threats made to our family member with no staff member working to intervene. I can appreciate staff at a mental health facility has many complex priorities, cases and family members working with very sensitive and stressful situations. However, if basic ethical and moral care cannot be provided to patients, the institution should not be allowed to operate. I would expect staff at a minimum to be honest, provide a few medical and psychiatric updates over 12 days for those on patient's medical release. The only call I received was when she was being discharged. I was told we had an hour to come get her or she would be given a bus ticket. I cannot sufficiently express my disappointment with this establishment.

They allow male techs to work on the minor girls floor and those techs rape children.
