Anxiety
The most frustrating experience of my life. Voicemails were never returned, staff in unit 5 were rude on the phone. The supervisor referred me to the Doctor on staff but once again, no call back in 10 days. The caseworker assigned to my son didn't return calls, again in 10 days. Even visiting hours are misleading. They post 7 to 8 but never escort you to the unit before 7:15.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
