Never, ever, ever go to this hell on earth. In spite of repeatedly stating that we had only been referred here for OUT-PATIENT, we were there for over an hour before they admitted that they don’t do out-patient treatment. By that time we were behind a locked door. During that hour, they had lied to us repeatedly on numerous points. Don’t let them take you behind a locked door to talk to you and don’t trust anything they say to get you there. Once you are behind a locked door, YOU CANNOT LEAVE. It doesn’t matter how old, how sane, how calm you are – you are giving up the right to leave on your own terms if you walk behind their locked door. The bottom line is that my husband found himself locked up when we declined in-patient help and said we’d go home and make an appointment with a local psychiatrist. Were they really concerned about him? Or about money walking out the door? It's like the 1930s here. I'm afraid when I go back for my husband he's going to have had a lobotomy performed.
