Alexian Brothers BH Hosp

If you want case management and to be involved in treatment/care options or are seeking additional resources for your loved one DO NOT admit them to this hospital. Horrible case management (actually it just does not exist), no encouragement for patients to work with their family to establish a care plan for discharge, they discharge without any plan or supports in place and with only a few hours notice. Overall, this program lacks integrity and implementing any best practice associated with mental health assistance. Save yourself the additional grief and take your loved one somewhere else. (I only selected 1 star because I could not post my warning with zero stars.)

I came to the inpatient here last year, I’m sorry for anyone who ever has to go here. The staff doesn’t care about the patients and my doctor had absolutely 0 care for anyone and tried to force me into PHP without parent consent. we were all just animals and no one cared at all, if you don’t have to go here, don’t.

Half of the staff is extremely rude, uncaring. The group therapy meetings are worthless and everyone knows it. They give everyone sleeping pills until they're drones ready to discharge. Pathetic. Not a single person I saw here was actually better when they left. Bizarre conservative dress code, but then again, they are christian. I am transgender and I was constantly deadnamed and misgendered to the point where I stopped having the energy to correct the staff. Would not recommend.

One of the counselors Cole gave my sister a bpd diagnosis. Cole then said he himself displays borderline traits. Cole then proceeded to make FRIED CHICKEN jokes to a female black staff member who was visibly uncomfortable. When my sister complained to other staff they immediately knew who the problem was in reference to. My sister was satisfied with her care elsewhere. This staff member seems to be consistently a problem the do nothing about. We are following up with IDPH and anywhere else I could possibly report this to. Disgusting negligence by higher ups.

I feel worse than when I came in.... I think I'm going to ask to be discharged.. my nurse thinks she's the doctor and isn't allowing me to speak with the doctor

good experience inpatient, but the partial hospitalization program counselor anxiety exposer therapy PAT nobody likes pat , everybody hates pat , everybody IVE EVER SPOKEN TO WHO HAS been here in the past HATES pat.

It has been 2 years since I was in this mental health facility and I did not speak up earlier because I was scared, but I am no longer scared to voice my experiences. I went to the teen ward at 13 years old due to a suicide attempt. When I got there I was met with a very sweet nurse whom I still think about to this day (ily Jeremy you were the only one who made my stay not absolutely horrible) anyways I got there around 9 so I went to bed practically straight away. When I woke up we had breakfast like normal but I was then met with my "psychiatrist" if you could even call her that. She was a very rude woman named Dr. Raza who acted like she had no empathy and clearly only cared for the paycheck. During my second day I had gotten a very bad migraine in which I had asked for Tylenol but was never given it and I had asked to go lay down which didn't help and I ended up screaming in pain and very irritable. A day therapist who I believe was named Scott but I'm not sure kept provoking me to the point I ran down the hallway just to get away from his voice they then tranquilized me. The next day I was put on finger foods and crayons which meant I couldn't have pencils/markers nor could I have the freedom to choose my meal (I suffered from an eating disorder which was in my chart so that was very harmful to my recovery in there) . Later that day we had a group session in which we were told to stand in the hallway and step on a line whenever we related to a question asked, after that every single person was triggered by that group to the point we needed an emergency process group on the entire activity. The next day I watched a girl being forced to sign papers for a residential treatment after being threatened that if she didn't she would be tranquilized everyday, have her clothes taken, lose her meal freedom, and be put at the isolation desk until she signed them. I had talked to this girl and she definitely was not so sick to the point of an 8 week residential. That's not treatment, that is scaring someone into compliance and lying. After that Dr Raza had to see me and was horrible as usual and told me I would never get better and that I would attempt suicide again if I didn't take the meds she gave me. (Guess who's still alive and 2 years attempt free?) She told me I was not a good daughter and that I would never make it in the real world. These are not all of the stories I have from this place but I need to cut this off here. I spent 7 days of hell in a place that didn't treat me but instead scared me into hiding my struggles.

I enjoyed the staff, had an incident during my time. 10/10 would recommend
