Just got out of the teens unit. It sucked!! Being there added so much more stress and anxiety and I felt worse than when I got in. Many people come in multiple times and still don't get better because of their sub-par teachings. No one-on-one time with therapists, except when you go to family therapy. All therapy consists of multiple group therapies each day where you either participate or get marked off for not talking. Didn't learn anything new either. I feel worse than when I came in, and I wish I never tried to reach out to get help when this was the "help" I got.
They turned my brother away. He was severely depressed, addicted and suicidal. My parents took him in and BEGGED for help for my brother. They turned him away and he COMMITTED SUICIDE approximately a week later. He is dead! My parents had to cut their lifeless son, my baby brother, out of a tree! Was he not screwed up enough? Not addicted enough? How dare you!!!! If you care for yourself or other seek help elsewhere!
If you love someone you would not place them in this facility if any other options were available for life threatening illnesses. My Hospitalization was degrading and the treatment I received was substandard for a "Healthcare Facility". While I believe near catatonia and extremely paranoid to being nonverbal and psychotic and confused. I had been ordered prescription pain medication for chronic physical illness and was an established patient of anesthesiologist for pain management, med compliant for three years. No one from Parkview Behavioural Health contacted the hospital I was outpatient for pain in regards to history. They tried to "detox" me off prescribed pain medications, I was taking as prescribed, no illegal drugs or alcohol could have been in my urine and was not under suspect of drug addiction or abuse. One RN told me "I've been watching you I don't believe you have pain..." Actually, was there for psychosis related to Bipolar I Disorder and schizo- affective disorder. Nurses kept asking me why I was there? Then becoming angry and horrible when I couldn't answer because I was too psychotically ill to answer the questions being asked. The only concern seemed to be if I was 'really' in pain without contacting Physician or Hospital I was an outpatient for Pain Management, with a history of being a patient at that point for 3-years. I was lied to by Nurses and told that the unit I was in was the 'Regular' Unit when later I found out I was in the Intensive Care Unit. We were taken to a dining room, and I am mobility impaired no staff would help me trying to use my cane and carry a tray with food and beverage to the table I was to sit at and eat. While in the Intensive Care Unit, I was instructed by a Nurse and a Tech, to wash under my armpits and Peri area with shaving cream. They gave me size 10XL Pajamas and I wear a 3XL. I was having trouble with my bowels and the Nurse paid no regard to the blood in my stool and flushed it away never telling a doctor. My physical health was ignored and I did not receive half my prescribed physical medications. I was part of a 'pre meal meeting?' where a Nurse was ranting and complaining of the "stench of you reeking patients" and told "you all need to shower and use deodorant -because I'm tired of smelling all your stench" only after we were belittled were we dismissed to eat our breakfast. Overall, I would stay sick and die before going back into the horrible conditions of this facility and those whom my care was entrusted. I still have nightmares of the place of experienced there and frequent flashbacks added to existing symptoms. The Psychiatrist was good to me in regard to getting me on antipsychotic meds and do not believe he is employee of actual facility.
This place definitely needs to be investigated for abuse. My experience there was terrible. Kids should definitely speak up about what goes on there and encourage others to find help elswhere. Very shady!!!
My 14 year old daughter has been here several times! They have made so many mistakes it's ridiculous! The nurses during shift change obviously don't communicate! This place is a joke! But whenever my daughter is suicidal she has to go to this damn place where most of the nurses and techs think it's all a joke! Only a certain few are very good and nice and professional!
