Nix Specialty Health Center - Behavioral

Dec 18th, 2019

If I had the option I’d give 0 stars. This center is the grosstest and most disrespectful place I’ve ever seen. The way they treat their patients is insanely agonizing and inhuman. If you’re looking for a safe environment to actually get professional help I do not recommend this place at all. Genuinely hoping that they close this as soon as possible!

My 18 year old daughter was admitted here yesterday on an emegency detention.She has cognitive delays as well as mental illness with violent behaviors.This was her first time at this facility and I have to say I was very worried after I had read the reviews here.My experience has been very positive.They have been understanding of my daughters cognitive delays and have included me in every decision.The Staff that I have spoken directly with are Joe, Sybil, Victoria and Dr Cawthorn.They listened intently and were all extremely polite and included me in her care.This was a quick stay for our daughter but I would trust them again with her care in a crisis situation.They truly looked out for her best interest which is a rare find in such a broken/difficult Mental Health system.

This lock down facility and all the negative reviews left me feeling uneasy when my father was admitted. That being said, he received the care he needed and was soon well enough to be transferred to a memory care home. I would like to extend a special thanks to Tatianna and Dr. Vidol for providing exceptional service to my father and answering all my questions and keeping me well informed.

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN OR LOVED ONES HERE. first of all, this place is EXTREMELY filthy. i caught viruses that i still haven’t recovered from WEEKS after being discharged. theres dirt everywhere and it smells like chemicals. none of the rooms are properly cleaned. second, my own rights were taken away. the staff treated me like a wild animal. they kept me in my room all day every day for several days straight for doing absolutely nothing wrong. the techs called me annoying, rude, and pathetic when clearly THEY were the ones being annoying rude & pathetic. i was also yelled at and the refs made me strip down several times even when i did nothing wrong. i warned them that staying in the same room all day long with nothing to do would drive me insane and give me a panic attack and that’s EXACTLY what happened. while i was in a state of panic, i was forcibly picked up by the arms and dragged back to my room & thrown onto the floor like an old toy. i got bruises from that. you’re not supposed to do that to anyone that’s having a panic attack because it just makes it worse. PERIOD. staff also wouldn’t let me eat because my hair was down and they thought my hair was disgusting , even though i sat with nobody else & my hair wasn’t even in my face. they laughed at me for it. i was prescribed about 7 pills a day and i got incredibly sick because of it. with vomiting and diarrhea which the techs also got mad about. i made it clear to the doctors that i was unsafe coming home, and they STILL let me go even after they explicitly told me that they wouldn’t let me out because of it. please , please please oh please shut this place down. i cant stand just thinking about the poor little children who are still there. suffering. crying. wanting to go home but the staff make them seem as if they’re monsters.
