Options club is nice. We can talk (not about murder, suicide, sex, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or miscellaneous triggers ), as an older man I can't ask "where are you from?" Or any question that makes younger women feel "creepy ", one time we talked about cells in plant life, Battle of Gettysburg , Astrophysics (what is at the other end of a black hole?). If you don't have a car or you got DUI and can't drive it looks like Myride Greater New Haven transit headquarters Hamden ct. Where is North Branford! New Haven, East Haven, Branford and cut North into North Branford. Options is across the street from a large apple orchard. read more

BHcare - Options club on outing - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - North Branford, Connecticut

If you value your mental health do not walk through the doors. FIND ALTERNATE CAREGIVERS Unfortunate that a place that is a NON-PROFIT this is all for profit and not their clients needs. They attempt to monopolize on your sickness and make them your EXCLUSIVE provider. (With horrific care, no appointments,poor leadership, broken elevators, and poor health care all around) Disaster from day one at initial intake process. Till last day walked out in total disparity. If you are competent and have any common sense this is NOT the place for you. It's for way under functioning CAPACITY individuals. You spend more time chasing their employees to do their job. IOP- DBT- Jenna is amazing, but the passive aggressive attitude from one of the clinicians isn't very helpful. But they do the best they can. Honestly you get in what you put out here. Case Management: 2nd biggest failure with this company. Requested case management at initial intake 7/18. 1st the request "glitched" and was never received.... Spend every day after iop trying to follow up. Finally got a meeting with LISA RAND who had all these great things to say and would get someone to help me. Gave me a case worker that was never there. But no one would tell me why. They (front desk) would say I'll send a message to her. I had an eviction case to prepare for and the case manager never showed up. Then when the office finally tracked her down she came down and said "well, let's go" like I did something wrong sitting there waiting for 45 minutes.... I was not comfortable meeting with this individual so requested a new case manager. Then I was the bad guy.... The excuse offered was that she was in a meeting in a dead zone then ended with celebrating Lisa Rands surprise birthday..... New case manager was nice and TRUTHFUL. Just not very helpful for my situation. HOUSING: LIES LIES LIES DO NOT BELIEVE THEM THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH HOUSING. They lie and will string you along. I was feed so many lies that I'm now living in my car. I'm glad that I have their housing manager BOBBI JO on recording lying about housing and back stepping from things previously said. I was told Because of my severe medical conditions that I could be bumped up THE WAITLIST so I wouldn't be homeless and living in my car. I was also told that LISA AND BOBBI JO were working with the Columbus house med res floor for when the eviction happened. After being told 4 different things from 4 different people I met with Kathleen , Lisa and BobbiJo whereas they looked at me like I had 10 heads and was purple.... Clearly there was a severe communication problem or something was wrong. There is an email stating the previous" working on solutions for client" and is now being denied it exists. Too bad others already said it does and IT will pull it. Many of the mental health agencies around the state send people to BH care for their housing because that is what they are told and unfortunately BH care does nothing.

Bh Care is a terrible organization to work with.. They are supposed to help mentally ill and addictive based population with housing. I have worked with them for over seven years with one of their clients. When I asked for their person to leave I gave them six months notice and yet they still Never found the person a place to live. They have broken system, and the people that run this area of BHC are very nasty. In the end I had to financially spend over $4000 for legal fees and cleaning of the totally trashed apartment. They have no regard for anyone except themselves would stay away from them read more

I just wanna start off by saying there is very good people there Mia and Carol but other than that this place is basically a Suboxone pill mill they want you on the highest dose of Suboxone and if you get off or asked to switch asked to try a different treatment they will phase you out. It's one of the most abusive schemes I've ever seen in my life. I suffer from extreme PTSD from a severe beating as a child. I have very bad anxiety because of it. One of the doctors there wrote me over five different benzodiazepine prescriptions. Everything was fine until I asked that same doctor to start tapering off of Suboxone he immediately cut me off from any benzodiazepine the only thing that helped my anxiety and PTSD asked me if I wanted to work with someone else basically letting me know that the only thing he's interested in is having me at the highest efficacy rate of Suboxone and that's it and if you're not interested in that, don't go there they will treat you terrible. The way I was treated beyond like it felt malicious. It felt like this doctor wanted to personally hurt me. and he was very smart and tactical about it and he basically broke my soul. So if you're looking for a doctor to abuse, you not take your feelings into account. Have Suboxone be the one and only thing they care not that you're on it or anything just that you're on the highest dose so they can get their read more

Awful. I went for over a year and the clinicians still did not understand my situation. I've sought treatment elsewhere for three weeks and am already doing better. They are RELENTLESS if you miss a group, which are more of obligations than actual help. They care, but they're methods of caring are just off. I came in with a mental health issue and got told that mental illness is chronic when I was dealing with a severe abusive situation. That's not what you say. Then when I tried to discharge they blew up my phone until I had to reinforce the front desk that I was out. The therapy was very patronizing, almost like I was being talked down upon. Would NOT recommend. read more

BH Care is a joke! I have been working with them for at least 10 years now. They have a constant turn over of social workers because they simply cannot keep help. The staff is rude, lazy as they don't bother answering their phone until after the 10th ring, and what few psychiatrists they do have will only see patients virtually. In fact, Dr Mahmoud Dweik is based out of Brooklyn, New York. That's because BH Care can't find anyone locally to take care of their patients. I believe the medical team and staff need more psychological help than the patients they claim to care for. I am now done with all of them. read more

Patronizing and untrustworthy. Bad management that went down the tubes. If you want to be lied to because they claim their busy or want to be worried about then it's for you. Not for me. read more
