I've been a patient at Hickory Trail 49 days. I have seen a doctor 3 times. That is all. Instead I see a nurse practitioner who constantly changes my medications which has led to the length of my stay. I've read other reviews about staff sitting around. That is true. The outpatient programs, both partial hospitalization and iop are a joke. You do not get well there. You do not get better there. I feel at this moment (3:00 a.m. because I do not sleep because they do not give me the right meds) that I will just have to go into another facility if they ever release me from Hickory Trail for help. Why am I here after 48 days? I am sure it is because they are billing the crap out of medicare. I have already received one invoice for $30,000.00, and that was just for inpatient. Baylor brought me to Hickory Trail. They did not ask me where I wanted to go. They brought me to Hickory Trail in handcuffs (because I had suicidal ideations the night before), so I do not think much more of Baylor. I never saw a doctor during my emergency room treatment at Baylor. Just a nurse and a social worker. \r

Am I upset? You bet I am. Run, don't walk, if anyone suggests you go to Hickory Trail for help. You will not be helped. You will more than likely come out worse off than when you were admitted.
