I spent some time here recently After a month and a half course of high powered mental health medicine I wasn't given more of it to continue, all my symptoms have returned in force and no one is helping me. I've tried to contact my doctor about this from the hospital yet despite the fact they know I have no gp they expect me to just suffer bipolar/personality disorder symptoms constantly

I took my nephew there for help with mental illness. They were not any help after waiting like 4 hours for an evaluation. My nephew grew impatient and had a mental breakdown while waiting to be release. At that point no one was willing to talk to us anymore. He was kept for a week, which from what we were told was his provided option of choice on length of time for his evaluation. He was discharge with no information and no plan of care going forward; it was a complete waste of time. He just showed up at my door with bruises from what he said was an attempt to escape, and a door was closed on him. Not sure if this is common practice however family was completely left in the dark, and severe attempts to reach someone who could help us were completely ignored. The front desk staff is polite, but don't be fooled once admitted the staff at the unit is very rude and unhelpful. You will not get the care that you are looking for at this facility. It's just a dumping ground for a person at their worst need for help. If your looking to get treatment please look elsewhere if possible to find another facility.

They take away patients right and disregard HIPPA laws they take people meds away and change them for things they can't have they make them lose their memory and totally disregard the families that have family and do not speak to people if they call more then 2 times to get information.at this point they need to be shut down it horrible disgusting people in qualified doctors and nurses

How long is someone involuntarily admited for

Shane Krzywicki | Sep 29, 2017
Cruzredeye | Sep 29, 2018

Not 72 hours. After 72 hours your case is reviewed by the Psych team. Then they decide if you need further treatment. And in most cases, you do. If you follow the rules and act normal you will be there for approximately 5 to 7 days. I've seen people there for 4 months but they were very sick people. Good luck and God bless.

I have a 19 mentally challenged daughter and she lies and steals and she eats dog food and raw stuff out of the fridge is this a good place for her?

Konnie Kleiser | Sep 29, 2018
Debbie “Deborah” Mckenna | Sep 28, 2020

First check with her Medical Doc. PRIMARY CARE DOC. It sounds like she also has a disorder known as Pica. U want to rule out any medical problems. Check with her Psychiatrist 1st about mental health issues.

Yes.

I have a tenant who is constantly screaming and cursing. She said her doctor is away and she cant get her meds. She has had the police here 3 times since yesterday. The neighbors are very upset. Can I 302 her?

Marie Camm | Sep 29, 2019
Michael Kolachny Jr | Sep 29, 2019

Hello, Marie! I'm sorry to hear about your present situation, along with your respective tenant's. I'm going to presume you are in the state of Pennsylvania since you are inquiring on Friends Hospital's page. Providing that is the case, you, personally, won't be able to involuntarily commit (302) her. What you can do, however, is to call the police. If you dial directly to 911 ask if they can bring someone from crisis intervention, but worst case scenario an officer alone will do. Try to be as specific with the operator/officer as possible. Involuntary commitment is a serious ordeal and based on what you've described she doesn't seem to be presenting as an imminent danger to herself or others (a nuisance perhaps, but not a danger). The good news is that oftentimes if crisis intervention comes out and sees the individual in that sort of peril they will put their best efforts in to get them to consent to voluntary treatment. Hope this is of some help.

Where do you go to visit someone there

Carole Watts | Sep 29, 2018
Meaghan Kind | Sep 29, 2019

I had family and friends who typically met with me in the cafeteria area for safety and security purposes. Also, there are visiting hours: typically 6-7 pm on weekdays; 6-7 pm on weekends; and an additional visiting time from 1-2 pm on Sundays.

My daughter’s name is Amina, who saw her, they keep her forcibly. She’s healthy. Help her. In another country, her mother can’t help her, but doesn’t call

How long do you stay there if you volinturily go there?

Michael Kolachny Jr | Sep 29, 2019

Length of stay for an adult receiving treatment is highly-variable, but if an average would help it is typically 10-14 days.

When the patient is allowed to call out to a friend?

Lilia Pokrovsky | Sep 29, 2019
Michael Kolachny Jr | Sep 29, 2019

Hello, Lilia! For adults there are phone hours throughout the day. As patients are to be provided access to a phone call for "private use," there is typically a pay phone, otherwise for a semi-private experience they are typically provided a phone in an area like the nurse's station. Be mindful that typically cellphones are stored so the patient will either need to know your phone number or you can call in and leave it. Due to HIPAA laws, they will likely be unable to provide you with information pertaining to the patient, including whether or not they're even there, but you can tell them to take the phone number and in the event that the patient IS there to please give it to them.

When are visiting hours?

Dave Janson | Sep 29, 2019

Dee Dozer9 | Sep 29, 2019
It's Recon | Sep 29, 2019

You have to call the main desk for that (if your GF is over 18 then they will be able to give her your number if you give them her name so she can call you and if your GF is under 18 then you have to let them know by giving them her first and last name and tell them her age so they can give her your number so she can call her)
