Northern Light Acadia Hospital

Ryan Mckeagney

As a parent, it's critically important to me that any medical providers who are treating my child share a mutual interest in what would be most beneficial for them. I've had experiences with a handful of different providers and facilities in regard to my childrens' needs. Some of them have been better than others but generally speaking, they've all been good at the very least. That was until I encountered Northern Light of Acadia Hospital. I cannot speak for the hospital in it's entirety - but I would caution any parent who is considering looking into pediatric behavioral/mental health services for their child. There was almost no consideration taken into my concerns and/or feedback and the staff are still minimally cooperative in allowing me to access my own child's medical records. My experience with Northern Light of Acadia Hospital has left me with a lot of concerns about how their practice operates from an ethical standpoint.

Med care is a joke! They take you off meds without a proper plan in place for a different med. They let you go without sleep until you start to hulacinate, and still don't help. Reckless and unwilling to acknowledge a mistake and take accountability for it, and blames you for the "misunderstanding" and makes you feel even more unstable.

The employees here, with the exception of very few, are PATHETIC. A decent hospital would make one feel as if it wasn’t solely about money. This “hospital” makes it very clear, they only care about money. They will ignore your calls and hang up on you after a few rings if they feel, from a monetary perspective, that you are no longer beneficial to them. These are the same individuals who brag about their title being “mental health professionals.” They will put YOU on the street without regard for your well-being if the dice rolls in their favor. Obviously money is the name of the game, but politics is not, meaning that this facility has unprofessional, or as some would say, shady, practices. Do YOU think it’s a good idea to leave scissors on a desk around people who are depressed? On 03/26/22 I wonder what was found on a desk. I am truly scared of the retaliation that will probably come from this, thus why I have to be careful with what I write. PLEASE, as someone who has high standards, morals, and principles, I beg you not to send your loved one here. Let me see if what it takes to be a psychic: I’ll receive a generic response stating something along the lines of “we are so sorry you didn’t have a good experience, please call us at ___-___-____.” The issue, or at least one of the issues with that is, they will continue to ignore my call or hang up on me after a few rings. Whoever reads this, please note that when you are at rock bottom, you can only move upwards from there. Follow-up: As expected, and as you can all see, I received a generic response. Brent Scobie hangs up the phone after a few rings. If this facility has treated you badly, I urge you to contact the joint commission, an attorney, and local news stations. This place is full of unprofessionals, some of which who make false allegations. It is very disturbing to know that mental health employees can all get together to blacklist people without regard to their overall welfare. Shame on all of you.

The providers at Acadia are dangerously incompetent. They will Shuffle you around with so many different doctors and abruptly stopping and starting so many different pills you'll be lucky if you don't have a seizure by the end of the week and God forbid you ask for help. The therapy was rated PG, so let's hope your problems aren't too profound. I can honestly say that my health and headspace have take a drastic turn for the worse over the past several months of Acadia Healthcare. Also, be very careful voicing your opinion as it would appear that is not welcome whatsoever. If that's not enough you can always look forward to abuse from the staff. I don't know about you but when I'm feeling suicidal all I want is to be treated very poorly by someone's receptionist and made to feel like a burden. Anyway, the grounds are beautiful. Good luck.
