ALL OF THE BAD REVIEWS ARE RIGHT!! This is where the first responders take people. I picked up my partner last night they released him and gave him NONE of his normal meds. He was 10xs worse after release with no sleep (they don’t get beds and stay in a big room). What I experienced after getting him was immensely dangerous if we didn’t have the attachment bond we have. I couldn’t believe they released him in that condition. The only good thing about this place is you know the location of your loved one and the people are very nice who work it. He said the workers were wonderful and he made lots of patient friends. This place is one step up from prison. Everyone is right about AZ family news constantly being on, even in the public waiting room (constant news would drive anyone mad). In addition to the cheese sandwich. If you were ever in the AZ school system, you know the ones the give to kids who are in too much lunch money debt. 2 slices of bread and cheese. I can’t believe places like this still exist. They almost lost his belongings I dropped off for him. He never received any meds I brought or belongings at all while committed. He wasn’t even transfer and they almost lost his bag. It had his most grounding and important possessions to keep him as regulated as possible. I don’t know what kind of place they’re trying to run here but as the person who petitioned someone to go here you may be better off trying anywhere else or contacting their main dr who prescribes their medication. This was the worst experience I have ever had or that my partner has ever had. CBI do better, you’re a lawsuit waiting to happen and probably have mentally injured people that truly needed help. Take some knowledge from psychology and apply it please. Please someone investigate this location. As someone who is a mental health advocate this place made me genuinely sick. It’s why people choose homelessness over inpatient psych. Constant fights and loudness and fluorescent lighting with no windows and one cloc at the nurses station behind bulletproof glass would mentally harm any healthy human. I can’t believe people who are supposed to protect the population take those who need help most here. They don’t not to my knowledge release a safety plan with them in case there’s trouble when the at discharged and don’t have case managers or anyone to ensure they get therapy or meds. It’s literally a prison. If they would have given him the meds I brought that were his it would have been a far more successful discharge. Severely disappointed and traumatized TO THE MAX. If I have to deal with this again, I can tell you CBI is the farthest place away from my concept of a safety plan. Don’t even send people you hate here. I don’t usually leave negative reviews but this is genuinely the WORST place I have ever seen. I understand security needs but this is inhumane.

My experience at Community Bridges Inc. (CBI) was not only traumatic — it raises serious concerns of potential violations of federal and state law. As a licensed mental health counselor, I was involuntarily held for four days in an environment that resembled sensory deprivation, coercive control, and custodial abuse rather than legitimate medical care. During this detention, I was subjected to physical misconduct, sexual boundary violations, verbal degradation, and psychological intimidation by staff members whose behavior appeared to violate both ethical and statutory standards. Legal Violations (Based on My Experience and Observation) • Civil Rights Violations – 42 U.S.C. § 1983 My civil rights were compromised while under state-funded care, including violations of bodily integrity, due process, and equal protection. • ADA & Disability Rights Violations – Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. § 12131) I was denied reasonable accommodations for ADHD, Autism, PTSD, and religious observances. Retaliation after disclosure of disability is prohibited under ADA § 12203. • Behavioral Health Patient Rights – 42 C.F.R. § 482.13 This federal regulation requires hospitals and behavioral health facilities to ensure: – freedom from abuse and harassment – patient dignity, privacy, and safety – freedom from retaliation None of these standards were upheld. • False Reporting & Retaliation After disclosing I was a licensed counselor, staff initiated a complaint against my license while I was still involuntarily detained. Retaliatory actions linked to whistleblowing may violate: – Arizona Whistleblower Protections (A.R.S. § 38-532) – Federal Whistleblower Protection Act (5 U.S.C. § 2302) – False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733) if billing fraud is involved. • Billing Fraud – Federal Healthcare Fraud Statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1347) I observed practices that appeared inconsistent with medically necessary care and may constitute fraudulent billing to state or federal programs. • Religious Discrimination – Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. § 2000d) As a Middle Eastern Jewish woman, I experienced targeting and comments that invoked discriminatory hostility. ⸻ Professional Retaliation & License Interference While detained, CBI filed a complaint against my license without: – clinical cause – informed consent – release of information – or legitimate behavioral justification This conduct reflects malicious retaliation, not clinical oversight. Despite multiple complaints filed with Arizona state agencies, ADHS, AHCCCS, and federal civil rights bodies, I have received no restitution, no follow-up, and no acknowledgment of wrongdoing. ⸻ Why I Believe I Was Targeted I had previously: • Reported sex trafficking intelligence to local law enforcement • Provided coordinates and information related to vulnerable victims • Interacted extensively with Mesa PD, exhausting their resources • Identified myself as a Trump-supporting Middle Eastern Jew, a demographic I believe made me more vulnerable to profiling and discrimination Rather than protect a mandated reporter and licensed clinician, the system retaliated. CBI did not function as a healthcare facility during my stay. It functioned as a coercive detention environment marked by abuse, retaliation, and systemic failure. I will continue pursuing justice through: • Arizona courts • Federal civil rights channels • Professional regulatory bodies • And any venue necessary to ensure no other human being is subjected to what I endured. Accountability is not optional. It is required by law. ⸻Formal Tell All with FOX NEWS COMING SOON!

I called and spoke with someone in the office regarding my loved one. She was super rude , cut me off told me she’d relay the message but didn’t ask for my name/number. If you don’t like your job then you shouldn’t work in the mental health field.

This place is a dungeon. They throw everyone into one large filthy room with minimal light, only serve cheese and pb&j sandwiches. The unruly drunk people are released in 24hours and the “mentally ill” are subjected to 72 hours of mental torment. There is one tv that plays azfamily 24/7. Thank God they had bibles there. Thank you Jesus for saving me.

My son was there over a week in between the hospital visit. Like others. Stephanie and Angela were the only prompt people to call us back. It bothers me that I came from Minnesota and it's been 9 days and I still haven't been able to see my son. I'm traumatized because he was separated from family a year before this. However, the family liaison staff was attentive

Chris is a great guy he really genuinely cares about people .

Insanity every minute!!
