i have been told by staff to get out of this place asap. Today i was court ordered to take more medications when i have not been any problem since ive been here and never been charted on for bad behaviors. She told me i work out to much, i talk really fast, and so on. I do not wish for anyone to come here. And if your child is here make sure you are taking mandatory steps to ensure your child is being treated fairly. READ HANDBOOKS

This facility needs to be investigated for it\'s illegal practices, in and outside of the criminal justice system, this includes the doctors, the hospital judge and director. Them and the majority of staff should be brought up on charges for their participation. They intentionally pad medical records and fraudulently bill medicare and other insurances, despite the majority of their cases never needing, or requiring the treatment that\'s being given to them. Some years ago, I was involuntarily committed to this dead zone, after challenging a judge in the Harris County Judicial System, with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Following a warrant for my arrest and being placed in the jail, paper work was fraudulently prepared (by Jocelyn Andrews) to have me sent to this wicked and depraved environment. Only by God\'s Grace, I was able to hide all the medication forced upon me, in my upper right or left jaw and spit it out immediately after leaving the window. The staff members level of ignorance is profound and despite me being held there for nearly 6 months, I was never discovered and in their sick minds, they actually thought they were treating me. There was a note in my medical file that stated if I refused the medicine, I was to be shot with Haloperidol, so I pretended to go along with their foolishness. My mother was a nurse and she instructed me what to do and neither of these imbeciles were ever able to detect it. I was considered one of their premier patients and given what they call a green card (freedom pass), despite me being in complete disregard of their policies. This place makes you think of a Satanic Synagogue and the majority of the staff were either wicked, stupid and all unqualified to treat living human beings. I was assisted by an organization by the name of Advocacy Inc., while I was there and the so-called pathetic treatment team were not allowed to meet with me, unless she was present. I also tape recorded the majority of my conversations I had with them (treatment teams, case workers, etc.) and I still have the recordings to prove it. I filed complaint, after complaint (State Health Services, JCAHO, etc.), including one with the Harris County DA\'s Office against this facility and to date, nothing has been done. Sadly, I missed my statute of limitations to pursue medical malpractice against them, but I thank God I was not damaged by this vile place and to date, I don\'t take any types of medication, and certainly not psych medicines. While I was there, I worked in the Cafeteria part-time, and I usually worked 21 hours per week, while every other so-called patient was working 7 and these idiots didn\'t understand how I was able to work so much longer than the others. Well, it\'s because I was not taking that poison they were putting in everyone else\'s body, that\'s how. I don\'t recall the ladies name, but, she was a short Caucasian and she was the cafeteria manager. I would sit, talk and sometimes record (a family member sent me a miniature recorder) the conversations I had with her and many others. She once told me that she had witnessed mistreatment and unwarranted medical treatment done to so many people that she knew shouldn\'t have been there, but, because she needed her job, she kept quiet, when I asked her why she didn\'t say anything. She also told me that both her grandchildren were special needs and she wonders why. They\'re all going to answer to God for what they\'ve done to the lives of so many people that didn\'t need to be there. I witnessed so much wrong doing and I continued to pray that God would give me the strength and protect me from any harm and He did. This place was being used as an attempt to undermine me and destroy my credibility to challenge a judge in Harris County. I missed my statute to file the lawsuit, but, because I\'m planning to write a book about the experience, I can disclose the names of everyone involved and there\'s nothing they can do about it. It will not be defamation, because of their actual involvement.

Awful place! Stay alive in there, get out and don\'t look back!

I only give it a 2 because some workers treated me good. I spent a total of like 3 month\'s in there on and off because I was drugged 4 times in 1 month and it brought about a drug induced phycosis. I was sexually assaulted twice in there BY A WORKER but unable to speak at the time due to being in a phycosis. I still plan on going back one day with an attorney for justice! It\'s just taking me some time to emotionally recover from the trauma of that place. The Dr\'s were self absorbed, money hungry jerks. They were so mean in the treatment plan meeting EVERY time and kept me on way too high of a dose of medication which made me look like a zombi and barely able to function. They assumed that I put myself in the situation and treated me like a number. I pray they fill that place with Godly Doctor\'s one day SOON. The patient\'s STOLE my clothes that my Mom brought me RIGHT in front of the staff. A miracle happend one day and I snapped out of the phycosis and never had another one since! Been off of medication for year\'s!❤ I thank God for getting me out of that hell hole! I generally do not waste my time making negative reviews but with this place I will maybe so that I can SAVE a life! No-one is going to silence me on this. This IS AMERICA and I WILL unashamedly speak the truth! I know that every place gets super good and super bad reviews based on peoples real experiences. Unfortunately mine was insane. Have a nice day!:)

This place is so racist . If your a educated black man with a degree you will be considered a threat and every promotion you apply for will be denied . The techs here are all about a pay check . They probably couldn’t list 5 mental health illnesses . If your not white you’ll be making chump change doing lower paying jobs. This place is so racist .

well it wasnt all bad except for the fact that everytime you get into a fight you get 2 shots of thorazine or haldol usually.there are some nice pnas.not all staff are bad.i really did love it when dr poppler tried to intimidate patients though.with all do respect he is a fat black doctor who claimed to know nita patterson.nita patterson a doctor who told me she is just labeling me with my ups and downs.then prescribed me zyprexa(olanzapine) and told me if i did not sign consent (which is what most of the doctors say)they will call the judge and have you recommitted.then she asked me if i thought there was anything wrong with me.and said let me tell you this jeremy,im good friends with the judge and she doesnt like you im good friends with the da and montgomery county pshchiatrist,so if you dont like it (well basically too bad) i was told by the DRB(or Danger Review Board) in north texas state hospital that i was found not manifestly dangerous and mentally stable and would be released within 15 to 30 days.dr poplar told me that he knows the judge and it would take another year to reevaluate me.most people have no way to contact anyone outside the hospital.north texas state hospital is federally funded and they get $647 daily for each patient on campus.if they cannot find a diagnosis for you within 6 months they legally have to let you go.i was in rusk 2 and a half years.i mailed disability rights FIVE TIMES.they told me every time that \"although your situation fall specifically within the priorities of disability rights.we just dont have the staff resources to assist you at this time....long story.there are some nice people that work there.but i was on the long term unit for a while and a doctor gave a speech that cursing would now be a sign of aggression and needs to be charted on followed very shortly by an explaination of how handshakes and hugs are against the rules and will be charted on(they call it Public Display of Affection).according to 46.c commitment patients who do no obey the rules of the hospital show they may not obey the laws outside the hospital and are subject to recommitment.usually a minimum of 6 months to a year.my middle finger was broken and is still very crooked and it took 2 weeks to see x rays outside the hospital.they said no joke it may be broken.another two weeks pass and they said it was too late.i could not get ahold of a lawyer and obviously did not have the money for one.A person cannot legally sue ANY government entity after three months of the incident.insanity.

With all do respect I have been observing Betty McCarthy and I am her son-in-law. She has took and fell. When she drives she goes into spacing out and starts veering to the right side of the road. When she coughs she wets herself and craps herself, truth b told why did u let her go with her being the way she is. She\'s not taking care of herself at all. And with all do respect she needs help a lot. What needs to be done is that u really need to keep an eye on her. She almost fell on my kids just by falling asleep in the chair. I am concerned when she\'s around her Grand kids and you let her go, You suppose to be a place to help people. Then with all do respect help her and try to get her better if not then leave her in there.
