Back in 1997, I was a patient here and must say that I did not have a very pleasant experience. I was diagnosed with depression and was put on Zoloft, Risperdal, Clonazepam, and Lithium. All these drugs all they did was put me to sleep. I feel that the doctors here just want to have you asleep so that they don't have to deal with your illness. It is not a very secure place because my mom would have to go in the mornings so that I could shower. There was a man by the name of Jose at the time that was mentally ill and scared both me and my roommate. I ended up in Mexico after this horrible experience to find out that my true illness was porphyria and not depression. Perhaps you don't even know what that is. I could have died from this and to have been in a behavioral health center that did not diagnose me right makes me get goosebumps. I was exposed to formaldehyde gas and this is how I got this illness. And the doctors there knew I had been exposed to formaldehyde gas. I hope many read my review and proceed with caution when even thinking of choosing this place for help. You won't get the help you need. And to top it all off, my mom had a hard time getting me out of this place.
