I went to the crisis center needing emotional support. I was going through a medical health crisis and was jacked up on an insane amount of Prednisone and other medications. These medications made me feel crazy. I was already having anxiety and panic attacks from the whole medical ordeal, but the medicine made everything so much worse. I got checked in, and my husband was not allowed to come in with me. Ok fine. Shortly after that the therapist, who seemed extremely annoyed for some reason, raised her voice and asked "why are you here?" It made me feel like a burden and did not help the situation at all. I wanted to leave, but they would not let me. I did not know this was the protocol. I called my husband and he was irate. We were not aware this would happen, and I feel they should have made us aware of this while we were checking in. The nurses were treating me like a five year old, and talking down to me. They let me go like 2 hours after checking in. Horrible experience, but i gave 2 stars because I learned one coping mechanism while there.

I spent a day 1/2 here. Even though it is a mental hospital I felt like I was losing my mind. A good 90% of the staff were good and kind to me. The psychiatrist though well I would give him a 1/10 no bedside manners whatsoever. My therapist I think his name was Matt he was amazing . I remember some of the staff were even funny I saw a tech walking around with a pee bowl on his head. Trev is great too he was the check in dude. If I had to get readmitted in a mental hospital I would choose this place in a heartbeat
Also another downside beware if you have breathing problems when I was in the waiting area thing waiting to be admitted and go into my room a lady doctor person came up to me and told me that if I had an asthma attack that I would be stuck having it because all the meds were being used on covid patients well I'm sorry but if I have an asthma attack do you just want me to die????
Edit : I have been in this hospital an additional two times and both times it was overall okay. Last time I was in I was stuck in my room because I had COVID so it was really boring and I didn't get much help but that's ok at least I was safe

I called to try and get help for my son. He was in an Intermountain facility in Boise and was discharged while having an adverse reactions to Invega. Instead of switching medicines, they treated the symptoms of the reaction with more pills and discharged him on the Invega shot. It lasts a month. He is still hearing voices still paranoid and delusional.. I called this facility to see about arranging to transport him down to Salt Lake for treatment. The lady on the phone was absolutely apathetic. She had the manner of a snake. Cold, almost snide and not helpful in anyway. If I'm driving 400 miles and can't arrange something in advance, it seems ridiculous. Then I learned this is also an Intermountain owned facility. Local counselors have spoken directly to the Intermountain Invega problem they are seeing in the community of people who have been hospitalized there.. Basically giving people the shot and pushing them out the door.
