i warn you, Do NOT bring you children here. at first i read all the other reviews and also thought it couldn't be that bad, then i was willingly admitted there to help with my panic syndrome. Not only did this place not help it made my condition 10 times worse. I dont know how they can call themselves a hospital there are no doctors, psychiatrists, or therapists on site. if you send your children here they will see a doctor virtually for 10 minutes a day and spend the rest of the day in what is basically a childrens prison where the nurses not only dont help but dont care.

Horrible place. I was there after being baker acted and it felt like hell. There are no therapists on site so you just walk around alone with your thoughts.

They provide you with barely anything to stay hygienic and provide you with no support or care. Horrible place, do not send your loved ones here!
