"I’ve had to go through even more therapy because of the trauma I’ve been through here and the abuse I’ve received. I was basically socially outcasted for a month... I remember a patient was made to clean up another patient’s shit and the staff got physical with patients sometimes."
— FindRehabCenters.org"You are signing up to be underpaid and overworked. Management is terrible at helping out on the units. We are expected to follow the schedule for the patients yet half of the time we don’t have the supplies to do so."
