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.

I was in friends hospital in 1997 n they diagnosed me with schizoaffective. Thing is that it was the best thing I ever did!! In it paved my way through life. I guess there always a spot in my heart . I miss all the people That I experienced that with . The hospital is a good not bad things. It’s a stepping stone so we can have a meaningful life

No,not it will not. In most cases people/children come out so much worse than they came in and are now filled with trauma that will never leave them
Yes. Or they will help find you somewhere
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.
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 They helped me
no
I was fortunate enough to have insurance, although saw that those who do not have insurance are offered assistance as well.
Yes
Yes.
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.
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.
Yes, you can.
Hello. Is Amina still in hospital?
Yes she 35 and I had her committed several times and the let her go because it was drug induced
If you sign 24hr form you can get out right away. Its 72hrs
Length of stay for an adult receiving treatment is highly-variable, but if an average would help it is typically 10-14 days.
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.
Visiting for geriatric individuals is daily, from 1pm-2pm and 6pm-7pm on Saturday and Sunday, 6pm-7pm on M/W/F, and 1pm-2pm T/TH Adolescent visits are Su/T/TH/ 6:45pm-7:45pm, and Sat 1pm-2pm The remaining adult units have varying hours (you can confirm with the staff the respective building/group number), but visits are held on Sat/Sun, T/and TH
No they do not
Yes they have detox it is a rehab
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)
So if somebody is out of control off of their meds how am I suppose to restrain that person
No
Yes let staff know.
Go to CRC or call the mobile team ASAP 311
