2. I was having an episode, crying, hurting myself, right next to the nurses station and I was ignored for almost 2 straight hours, when a staff did approach me while I was laying on the floor the opened a door and allowed other patients to walk over me,
then a nurse approached me and told me I was having a "tantrum" and that she was going to deal with me exactly the way she deals with her kids. I was told that if I didnt stop self-harming I would be sedated against my will and put in seclusion...although they had been ignoring me for an hour..
but I've never seen the floors be buffed/waxed, they empty the trash but I've never seen them disinfect or wipe down the showers or change the curtains, despite how many people have used them...
Ive been here multiple times and it did not do me any good and I am going to give an honest review so keep reading if u wanna know the truth
I remember clearly, the first time I went there, there was a female patient that was violent. She choked another patient, wrote slurs on her door, and ripped up her decorations. She was given no punishments at all, and she was ALLOWED to do these things because it was part of her "treatment plan".
As for the adolescent behavioural unit, if you loved your child you would think twice before sending them here, most preferably not at all...
If you genuinely care for the safety and well being of whoever you are considering sending here you wont. I as a preteen after getting out had a irrational fear of peers after being jumped on numerous occasions. I could not sit with my back to people for about a year. Adjusting to normal life after this was a constant and horrifying struggle. The therapist jenny was fantastic but most of the other "counselors" if you would consider them that were horrendous. I saw another review stating a young girl was raped here I can tell you that was most likely accurate. I knew of several employees sleeping with young girls here. One was fired after I reported him for doing so with other girls. They couldn't supply basic human toiletries and would not allow you to bring your own. My first arrival we were made to use dial hand soap as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for three months. A kind employee went out of his was to once buy us actual shampoo and I cried I was so happy. The soap broke me out in hives several times. I was put on 8 different medications for all ridiculous diagnoses it turned out I didn't need and were affecting my health. I've worked for a long time with a well trained doctor to lower me to 3 and im living a healthy life. I've contemplated a very long time on sharing my experience here and I'm finally doing it. The location I was in was the cambridge facility.. The impatient program. I give you I was a troubled child but the abuse people go through here is inhumane. I could go on and on but I think this is enough. If id offer any advise to struggling parents id recommend Kidspeace it's in PA and though that might be quite a far distance from you is worth it. Your child will receive a decent education, life skills, and a new outlook on the perspective of the people who care about them. Thanks for reading
6. I know that no mental hospital is gonna be that high quality but me and the other teens really deserved better.
4. Staff are clearly afraid of certain patients, and pacify them just so they don't have to deal with actually disciplining them.
There are good staff here, staff who care about the teens and people who are dedicated. But from past allegations of sexual abuse and mistreatment from staff, it's not worth coming back here.
1. This place is not clean. They have someone to come and "wash" the floors everyday, but it's just someone using a dirty mop and wiping water around
3. This place is traumatizing and even if you are here for something like suicidal thoughts you have to be around people who are psychotic and aggressive, people who will be rude and insult you, try to fight you and scream at you, a lot of times just because they see you doing good or if you're positive. They won't show you that side if you visit the unit, but it gets violent..
Great place. Inpatient is very difficult and scary sometimes but the workers there deal with everything very well. Outpatient setting is very organized. I have experience with the partial hospitalization (PHP) for adolescents and they are very professional and genuinely care about you. Other mental health facilities are inhumane but ABH treats you like a person not a patient
One star because the docters are rude and they made me have diareah sooooo the only good things about dis place is ms serephine and that music guy he lets us go on the i pad and pick a song to listen to but the soap is refreshing and at night theres a guy who lets us eat chips and play mario cart on the wii but i was bummed because i couldnt pick a game :(
5. You will not learn much. I remember we had a evening skills group about HAND WASHING. You'll probably soak up information like a sponge.. "Oh, music is a coping skill! Running is a coping skill!" I can't speak for others but I'm not sure how many people actually put that info to use when they leave.
The people are very pleasant and give you the best advice. Very nice front desk personnel and the staff are very organized. I understand there are different services being offered in this building, so you cannot lump them all into one survey. Each time I have visited; I have found the staff and doctors to be very professional, knowledgeable and that makes an overall awesome place!
