It's living hell.
It was my first time there, my first time at a mental hospital, and it was like a home to me, and the best and worse experience of my life best because I got the help I needed and made friends, I never made an enemy there, worst experience because I could barely go one night without crying, now I'm out at home and, I have cut twice since I've been out but after the second time I didn't do it again! I want to thank Mrs. Tina, Mrs. Shawday, Mrs. LaToya, Mrs.Tay, Mrs. Tinkerbell, Mrs. Victoria, and Mrs. Livia my therapist there.
My daughter recently attempted suicide, we put her here thinking she would get the help she so needs. We were wrong! This place is horrible, I would not advise you to put your child here for one minute. My daughter was given a shot her first night there , noone could even tell us what it was or why it was given to her. The staff is very unprofessional, and frankly straight ghetto. They use inappropriate language toward the children and my daughter actually witnessed a child being struck by a staff member. This was suppose to be a good thing for my daughter but turned out to be a nightmare. Needless to say my daughter left from this facility with no help whatsoever.
I had a family member go here and it was absolutely horrible! The treatment is subpar and almost non-exsistent. The staff are rude, use foul language, laugh at the children, and are poorly educated. The only requirements to be a caretaker at this facility seems to be a pulse. The kids are all lumped together and are given nothing more than a television to supervise them. I can't believe this place is still open after all the horror stories I've heard. Anyone who is sent here doesn't have a chance to improve their life or mental state. They only care about money not their patients.
My daughter was in here in August 2017 to get help for her issues. The staff was rude and uneducated. The first night she was in there she received one unknown injection in the middle of the night. No one has answered that one yet. The second day there was 8 fights in the center. I was actually on the phone with her when one fight broke out and people (including staff members) were cursing and yelling at kids. My daughter actually witnessed one of the staff members hit a kid. It was total uncontrolled, chaos. Our call was abruptly ended. I ended up calling the Dothan Police Department to go over and check on the kids (we live in the Montomery Area). My daughter went there for help and ended up leaving AMA on day 2, just so she could be Safe and out of this uncontrolled environment. I do not recommend that you put your loved ones through that unless you want them tormented in a prison setting. We will be moving her to Beacon Children's Hospital in Luvern, Al.
Definitely the worst time of my life.
