I was comitted by my husband at the time because he didn’t approve of my behavior I was held prisoner for three months against my will without even having an evaluation. The three months was all the law allowed without a court order at that time and also all my insurance would pay. I lost so much of my memory and was so demoralized that my life has been destroyed.

My stint was 77 to 79.Believe it or not,the Orange burlap and stripey carpet was an UPgrade done while I was there (I think it was early 78?) Before, everything was painted blah institutional beige. With all the flourescent lights the ambiance screamed "Hospital!!!" The only pops of color in there were the colored plastic "Chair" punishment chairs we often had to sit on silently from waking to bedtime - but so it passed for medical treatment they called it "so we could get in touch with our feelings" in our files. Who in their right mind would ever think a Bright Chaotic Shade of ORANGE would be a soothing color for a bunch of angry teens? The answer is NOBODY! This further demonstrates my opinion that WE were the sane ones. And hat "fancy" new decor seemed cheap/low quality when new. Not surprised it fell apart so soon. We've got Survivor Power, tho, y'all - we made it out!

I ...I’m sorry to hear of these terrible conditions. I made several visits to the hospital in 2005 and several other times until 2008 (stayers were from 2 weeks-6 weeks) I was an adult and of course it was quite different. I found amazing succes with the trauma resolution program (Dr. Ross) and I am so thankful for that. I did notice many MANY things that was concerning regarding safety. If it hadn’t been for a therapist, a patient would’ve died. THE TECHNICIANS were the issue! Another patient died while on CVO (constant visual observation). I also noticed sanitation issues that never seemed to be full address. The ONLY reason I continued there (which meant a flight from TN) is because the help I got was so phenomenal.<br /><br />The trauma resolution program and therapists were the most brilliant I had ever seen as were the psychiatrists. I hate that the safety issues weren’t dealt with. Who is to blame? My conclusion would be those who own the hospital (which I understand owns many). <br /><br />I’m sorry for all people went through especially back in the 80’s. I am also sorry for this who weren’t safely watched and monitored since. I am glad the hospital shut down. Dr. Ross’ great program has been moved to another hospital so I’m glad it is still in practice.
