My friend almost died because they didn't take care of her medical needs. They would not…read morecommunicate with the family at all. They need to find family, friends or at least find out the medications needed. The staff that answered the phones were very unhelpful, like they don't understand people need loved ones. They obviously restrict fluids and don't follow medical diets, or I would not be writing this. Please be vigilant if you or a loved on ends up here, so that they don't end up worse off. Behavioral health should be a healing environment not worse than a prison. It doesn't take rocket science to see that people need love to heal.

Do not allow yourself or anyone you love to come here! I checked myself in because I had thoughts…read moreof suicide. The meds they gave me mak me very dizzy and after the first night I asked the nurse if that could be because of my meds. She lied to me and said no when it's one of the first things listed as possible side-effects. Instead, she increased the dosage and said the dizziness would fade. It never did and they discharged me knowing how badly it affected me. I was checked in with high blood sugar and they NEVER checked it beyond intake. I was there three days before getting any medication. The food is very unhealthy, mostly carbohydrates and excessive salt. Individual dietary requirements were ignored. Most of the techs were kind and caring, but some were rude. The "social worker" is a joke; I was to have met with her on a Monday but she didn't get to me until late afternoon Tuesday. She was supposed to meet with me Thursday and didn't come along until Friday when she and the nurse who had lied to me said I was being discharged that day with no plan in place. I didn't have a plan because I didn't have notice and they assumed that since I was trying to be social I must be fine. Several patients need greater care than they receive and it falls on the other patients to watch out for them. I stopped a woman who was eating old banana peels she'd found in the garbage. Another time she tipped back the community kool-aid pitcher and drank from it. The staff is often too busy playing, talking, watching TV or using their phones to know what the patients are doing. Please do NOT send anyone here, and if the gods are paying attention they will either completely restaff EVERYONE (except for Christina, Monica, Colin, and Mary) or close this facility.

If you are a professional helping clients find services, I do not recommend this place. The intake…read moreprocess lacks transparency and is disorganized. They do NOT offer DBT groups as advertised. And they will not share this until after you complete an intake and pay for that. For high risk adolescents or populations who may benefit from DBT, this process seems to increase risk and has questionable ethics. It is not mindful or effective.

My level 1 ASD son had a few pleasant, though not particularly helpful sessions with John Lutrel…read more I'm absolutely disgusted that a therapist would take advantage of a young special needs adult by failing to submit bills to my son's insurance after we confirmed his insurance was accepted. We were then lied to that the bills were submitted and declined. My son paid in full rather than confront Mr. Lutrel again.

1 of Ohio worst Psychiatric hospitals. Whether your an adult or an adolescent; send your loved ones…read moreto OSU; Harding Hospital or Columbus Springs East. This is coming from a mother whose unfortunately had a daughter with a severe mental disorder. Out of all the mental hospitals here in Ohio; this 1 does not make the top 10. Each time KBMC would release and send my daughter home she was not stabilized and on 3-4 new medications. I'd talk with the case worker explaining my concerns and regardless they'd release her anyhow. Eventually she ended up taking her own life. BEWARE. We had on many occasions to stay at a hotel a couple of days before bringing her home to ensure that she was safe enough to come home due to THESE psychiatrists releasing patients way too soon and when they are not complete stabilized while being placed on to new medications.

I was treated with the utmost respect from almost every person at the behavioral hospital where I…read morewas! With the exception of maybe one. There were several very special people ; one of the occupational therapists named Joanie was very professional and sensitive to each person in the group. Another special person was one of the mental health tech's I believe her name was Kylie! She was very sensitive and empathetic and compassionate with each individual she encountered! Thank you all for your sensitivity and compassion!!!!!!!!!!
