THEY DELETED AND BLOCKED ME FROM POSTING THIS REVIEW ON GOOGLE.
I would give this no stars if I could. I have held off on publicly posting about Alsana Birmingham out of respect for the humans who are trying to get help there. Humans who I love very much and am honored to have as part of my support network. AND I can not morally or ethically be silent any more. This facility is horrible for so many reasons. I have personal experience and I am learning more from others. They claim that they treat trauma and eating disorders and that is NOT the case at all. Most of the therapists there are newly licensed and are not properly trauma trained (unless giving you a bag of ice counts). They gaslight and brainwash to make you belive that you are the problem (a huge no in the actual world of the profession) and that they truly care. My own experience was traumatic and my outpatient team was horrified and no longer refer there. If you need a compassionate trauma trained staff that also works with eating disorders look elsewhere. Even when I filed a formal grievance with corporate they minimized and invalidated my entire experience. True professionals are responsible for not only their intentions but their impact as well. They take no accountability, just want money and to save face of a crashing and burning program. They are actively harming people due to their incompetence and that is completely unacceptable. Alsana Birmingham, you need to do better and be better. Treating people is an honor and a privilege. I suggest refreshing yourselves on the ethical codes you supposedly learned in school and committed to uphold. read more
