Horrible environment. Rude and careless staff, will watch you hurt yourself or go straight to restraining you without warning or an explanation with zero support. During some of the restraints i was in staff would step on my hair with their shoes on and ignored me when i told them they were hurting me. After a attempt they stripped my room and then left me with no meds to calm me down or a member of staff to talk to, they just expected me to get over it and go to sleep. Reading back on my notes i was supposed to be on a meal plan, i was not and had mo idea of this, because of this i lost alot of weight in there and no one noticed. Another patient was following me everywhere and calling me fat, i told staff and nothing was done this continued until i was discharged. I was not included in any decision making involved in my ‘care’. I have so much more to say but i think what i have said should be enough. DO NOT go here i came out 10X worse than when i went in, it only adds to your trauma and will learn unhealthy self-harm methods.
