I highly recommend this Treatment center wether it's Mental Health issues & or Substance Abuse Cottonwood Springs covers it all! Thank you again to the staff & the Doctor's who cared for me during my time there. Michael Eliot

    As a disabled, transgender man, this place is the last place I'd recommend to anyone from ANY walks…read moreof life, even if you aren't any sort of minority like I am. During my visit from 08/08 to 08/12, the following happened: 1. Upon being admitted for a drug induced psychosis, they put my on their "volatile" unit (Sunshine) and, against my gender identity and request, roomed me with a woman. When I approached staff about it, the first member told me to essentially "suck it up", and it took me seeking out two other members for them to find a solution. Said solution was putting me in isolation. 2. After rooming in the isolation room, I was waken up by staff members loudly talking about how transgender people were essentially not people as well, one member stating "...I just don't support their lifestyle" within earshot of me. 3. The staff violated multiple federal AND state patient rights; they didn't orally tell me my rights, they didn't give me proper accommodation, and they treated me and other patients like animals. 4. Thanks to the nature of the beds, a spinal injury I was almost fully recovered from was agitated, and during my stay, I went from being fully mobile to once again having to use a wheelchair almost full time. 5. Whenever I was transferring MYSELF from my wheelchair to the bed, I fell onto the floor and was stared at by the entire nursing staff. It took me calling out to them for them to finally start making their way to me, and one female member made a point to put gloves on and handle me as if I was trash. 6. They filled their patients past capacity, and one woman was put into isolation whenever I was moved out into a room (once again, with a woman, against my wishes and everyone else's comfort) and the other was sleeping on one of their restraint impact cushion on the common room's floor. She had to ask staff to shower multiple times because she didn't have a room, and her request was ignored several times in a row until a male nursing staff (who made my stay survivable) gathered her things and called over a female staff member to watch her. 7. It took me getting loud and leaving my room at 12am for staff members to stop loudly talking and essentially screaming at some moments to respect other people's sleep during the night. One particular member named Daisy set off my agitation by mumbling "well morning staff does it too" under her breath, and then proceeded to talk about me, a PATIENT, behind my back during the rest of my stay to other staff members. 8. Despite my drug induced psychosis episode clearing up on the 9th, they refused to discharge me; it took me begging a staff member named Amina (who was also wonderful, by the way) to help me with filing to leave for AMA for me to finally be listened to, even though it's stated in the patient right's papers (that they printed off and handed me myself) that patients who are no longer in need of treatment are not to be held in the facility. I was not suicidal, homicidal, nor even a danger to ANYONE, including myself, yet they held me even after multiple doctors/therapists I talked with 1-on-1 said so themselves that they didn't know why I was there. 9. I was able to leave in the early hours of the evening on the 12th, and even though the same male staff member previously mentioned had to wheel me out in a wheelchair, they marked me as being ambulatory on their discharge paperwork. Ambulatory, even though I fell TWICE during my stay. TLDR; don't go here or send anyone you love here if you don't want to have to fight for you/them to get the help you actually need.

    In August 2019, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Johnson County Mental Health Center…read more The staff in the Adult Detox Unit exuded the utmost professionalism in their verbal and written communication at all times. Also, the staff in the Adult Detox Unit is highly responsive. For example, incoming telephone calls are answered after only one ring and email and voicemail messages are promptly returned. I would like to award special recognition to Jenny Brockman, who is very detail-oriented and makes an exhaustive effort to ensure that the needs of her patients are fully met during every step of the treatment process. Based on my interactions with Jenny, it is evident that she takes a keen interest in the health, safety and well-being of her patients to ensure their satisfaction and success. As a healthcare administration professional who works for a top-rated, privately owned rehabilitation facility, I was very impressed with the care and service provided by Johnson County Mental Health Center, especially given the fact this facility is government-run.

    The intake was very detailed and thorough. The therapist that I got matched with was nice but we…read moredid not click. I felt like she was not quite understanding me and not giving me good tools to help me. Our sessions were through zoom and zoom therapy is not always great. We constantly had technology issues which made the whole situation frustrating for both of us. She had to cancel or reschedule me at least four times! I was in bad shape and I couldn't afford to have someone flaking on me that often. I had an individual therapist, a psychiatrist, and a case manager. My case manager was very disorganized and not professional. I only spoke to the psychiatrist one time and the first appointment is supposed to be one hour long but my appointment with her was 20 minutes at most. She prescribed me something that could have killed me; she didn't even check the drug interactions! The whole time with JCMH was quite frustrating and not helpful. I know they were trying their best but it was so disorganized and not professional. I needed high quality professional help and what I got was below average, mediocre help, at best.

    My son had an appointment for today 1/18/2021. I believe he made the appointment in late October…read more He died 12/15/2020 "waiting to be seen". New patients should be given Emergancy priority. They need immediate help. He was referred to this practice by another doctor who could not see him because he was not a drug user. When I called this morning to let the office know he would not be at his appointment because he died the assistant was rude, snippy and said I'll make that note. No sorry for your loss.

    Dr. Menninger has been my psychiatrist since August of last year, when my previous doctor closed…read moreher practice. I've been very pleased with the care I've gotten from Dr. Menninger, especially in managing my medication. He was extremely helpful and concerned when I developed tardive dyskinesia (TD) from Abilify, which had been prescribed by my former doctor. It turned out I had been taking it at a high dose for quite a long time, and Dr. Menninger thought I should discontinue it. When I did, the TD symptoms showed up (involuntary mouth and facial movements that were obvious and annoying). He's been very good about working with me and my neurologist in coordinating care as I've been treated for the TD symptoms. Dr. Menninger is cautious and conservative when it comes to medication, which I very much appreciate after my experience with Abilify. I see him regularly, although only every few months, to check in on how things are going with my medications. These are short appointments and somehow there's no co-payment for them with my medical plan, so I certainly like that! During appointments Dr. Menninger takes his notes on his computer as he goes along. It seemed odd, at first, as I wasn't used to that, but now I don't notice it, and being "connected" Dr. Menninger can rapidly find and print out studies and articles on various issues for you while you're sitting in his office, which is very handy. All in all, definitely recommended!

    I have been to Cottonwood a number of times in the last 4 years, and things have gone down hill in…read morea number of ways that I will outline below. You used to be able to knock on Doctor Willie's office door and he invites you in and share his experience, strength, and hope every week day you were there, and you just do not get to do this anymore. He now has black construction paper taped over the window on the door so you don't know if he is in there or not. I got there early Tuesday morning, and between then and the end of the week I met with him 1 time. He was apparently taking the whole next week off, so I would not see him again before I discharged. I don't know how many other patients knew he was going to be gone, but I definitely did not. There was no goodbye of any sorts. 1 patients I talked to said Dr Willie himself informed him of this absence, but multiple PCAs told me none of them knew he was going to be away. I have a hard time believing that a patient knew he was going to be gone but the staff did not. I view this as basically the highest level of disrespect that can be shown to a patient. With Doctor Willie being gone, Patrick was supposed to send a prescription to my pharmacy, and he screwed the whole thing up in every way possible. I have been waiting for this to be resolved since Thursday, and I'm starting to accept that nobody is going to fix anything and that I am shit out of luck. Cottonwood food used to be great. The meals served were really good, and all 3 units were stocked with good snacks. People check in there who have been living off 1000 calories, a liter of vodka, and a bag of meth a day for months if not years, and these people need to be able to go get a decent snack 24/7. You used to be able to go get a pint of milk, a PB&J, and ice cream any time. The new Cottonwood, I bet they're food budget has been cut by 60% or more. The meals served are lukewarm and just generally low quality. Snacks in the units are nothing but cheap carbs and sodium. You can get 2 grams of protein from a snack tops. All of those decent snacks in the fridge are gone. If you want a milk during a non meal time, you have to bring it back with you and most likely someone will steal it out of the fridge if you do. I started pouring my milks into a 2nd water bottle I had and putting that in the fridge and people would leave it alone. People's insurance pay 917 dollars a day for patients to be here, and the company wants to cheat them out of a few bucks worth of decent food. I've mostly concluded that Cottonwood now operates at the level that all the other mental hospitals have been running at all along in the past, and I just got spoiled by the way it used to be. I don't know if Doctor Willie is now just overrun by a bunch of crap that the new owners are now putting on him to do, or if this is a personal thing that he has decided I am no longer worth his time. I guess the company got bought out recently, and big corporations buying small companies never leads to patients and customers being treated better. I have referred people to Cottonwood for years, and I am not going to do it anymore. I don't know who to blame for all this stuff, but going here will not improve your life. I have a feeling that no mental hospitals in this country improve anyone's lives anymore. If you need to quit alcohol of drugs, find a family member or friend to hold your alcohol or drugs and ration you with them and quit that way. I wrote a 2 page essay to attach to my discharge survey that gets into these issues, but I know they are going to blow off almost all of it. So ya, Cottonwood is now another example of a giant company turnings things to shit.

    so i went there a month ago and the staff was extremely rude and invalidating. my friend now goes…read morethere and has informed me that one staff is continuing to talk about me claiming they "couldn't stand" me, and then told my friend that she doesn't need to be there and then is denying help when she wanted to go back for more help. really crazy how this is a place for the mentally ill and is supposed to help but lowkey makes you feel even worse than before. gross.
