Parents, please don't send your children here unless you're wanting them to be on a 72 hour hold because they're trying to kill themselves. They aren't good to their youth. They hurt us in a way that lasts a long time.
This is probably the closest I'll ever get to closure with this place. When I was about 13 (I'm 22 now) I was admitted as out patient at this hospital. This meant I missed school to be here but went home at the end of the day. I did this for all of two weeks. Anyway, while I was there they NEVER diagnosed me and kept putting me on all this random medication without telling me why. The worst part though was my therapist that I was assigned to and COULD NOT CHANGE even though I asked. He told me I was faking my depression/anxiety/panic attacks as well as my suicidal thoughts for attention. He told me I should be ashamed of myself because people actually need help. Found out later that he was trying to provoke me and that this is how he learns how to treat patients. 9 years later and I'm still having issues with this. I cant validate my feelings what so ever. I couldn't even say that I was self-harming because "there were people who did worse than me and they need more help." I call my panic attacks ridiculous and I've disassociated myself from my disorders choosing to see them as "a different person" instead of myself. I'm trying to get help but this place really hurt me.
i relly like it mr matt relly get you and under stands were you are coming from
I am a former employee of Two Rivers, and it is a great place to work. I loved it there. The staff is friendly and they make you feel at home from day one.
The nurses accidentally dispensed another client's medication to me. When I tried to gain employment 20+ years later after I voluntarily asked to stay there, the human resources person looked on the computer and saw my name as former patient (this is a big ethical "no-no"). I was there 20 years ago when I tried to apply to work there and the man that hired people saw I was a client (how can someone that hires unsee that)? I filed a complaint with the government as I felt this broke a regulatory rule on confidentiality. There is a monetary punishment for hospitals that take government money and do not follow confidentiality regs. I don't know if things have changed, I would not feel ethically right to work at this place, nor would I go there if I needed to be treated. I also had a roommate there (20 plus years ago) that had lice when coming in, I did not, they charged me for preventive lice treatment even though I did not have lice. Luckily, I did not get lice. It was dirty in the rooms. I found that one of the doors on the locked ward was accidentally left open (probably from staff smoking). I had a man threaten to hit me during a group. I hope they have things straightened-up. The food was good, the treatment left something to be desired. There were several kind people that worked there. Nurses were controlling about silly things (i.e., not allowing clients to watch soap operas).
I been there- and the people who get admitted have problems and they are there to FIX it not make it worse by all means. Mansoor needs to meet her patience, instead of writing from up stairs.
I will give 4 stars when they hire me..
