If I could leave no stars I would.. Walked in for help for my 10 year old.. She clearly needs help and the system is failing her.. The intake people have to call the doctor whom says she does not meet criteria. WHAT I am flabbergasted on what needs to happen.. Apparently you need to be drunk or high on something to get help.. Because yes your children sit in a waiting room with every drunk that the police want to bring in. These "doctors" are clueless. I will make sure that every state representative that I can get a hold of knows that this place should receive no more funding. It is crazy to me that this is the second time we have been and told we can call the police or take her to the hospital to have her brought in because then they have to keep her for 72 hours. I am a parent trying to get my child help because she needs it because she is miserable. I have lost all faith in the mental health care system and I hope that every doctor that turns these kids away ask God for forgiveness.
MY NAME IS LILIAN I have been submitted into Lifestream on and off for about 5 years now (2012-2015). I've been getting better over time with other help. However, my past visits to this facility have been awful! I have countless stories of improper conduct ranging from staff to the general building. The workers, I can't even say have any experience in nursing, often like toying with their patients. They've always been disrespectful to the patient's, treating us like prisoners and animals. A nurse has even laid their hands on a younger teenage patient for misbehaving. They don't really try to help the patients there, as they don't give them the resources they need such as underwear, as I'm aware some items are prohibited in mental care facilities. With patients in crisis, the police who bring patients to the facility often use violent procedures to get them in, while the nurses just watch. In another instance, they gave me a bucket to induce vomiting, that had previous brown stains, to this day I don't know if it was fecal matter or dried up blood from a previous user. The blankets in this place have holes and seem very old during the cold insulated nights. Each day they do lock the bathrooms, and one time when I asked to go, I was refused to use the bathroom by a nurse, and often patients are known for having unsanitary conditions of using the bathroom in the room or bed because of this. The nurses are known for taunting patients when they do a mishap. The facility does not have a lot of rooms, and often patients have to share rooms if it is full, and when a patient complains, they have the option to sleep in the hallway. I was humiliated and abused in lifestream, the nurses once again, would touch me and hit me while I was in a panic state. When I did manage to complain, the police would have arrived to my house, after I've been dismissed months later, and nothing had been fixed about it. The actual professionals in this place do help when they can, but even than, the workers just prescribe you medicine that they don't even know what they're doing. You're a test subject at this point. The medicine damages your brain and body to some degrees and you won't even notice it because you think it's gonna help you. If you speak up to the staff, in one instance they will give you multiple injections to put you to sleep, and 'quiet' down. Dr. Goya, a trained professional, gave me injections for disagreeing about not wanting treatment from her, She did not clearly speak english at the time. The staff can't control the out of control patients. In another accident, a patient clearly not in the right state of mind, had walked up to me and starting to touch specific body parts of mine, and once again, the staff did nothing but give me another injection. The cafeteria conditions were terrible, you could see unsanitary conditions in any room.
Worst mental health care facility ever. No treatment or groups. More of a jail. Staff verbally abusive. I was not given any of my psychiatric medication except trazodone and was manic when I was discharged. Horrible place. Needs to be shut down.
On November 10, my daughter was Baker acted after being given Invega which caused her to become delusional. On November 12 they called and told me she was incompetent. On November 13th, they released her and she was still delusional and couldn't even walk up the steps. Very incompetent !
Not sure for everyone but Lifestream saved my life, These deal with severly mentall Ill people. I was there and a patient had a break down for 7 hours. They professional secluded the patient and allowed him the space he needed. These people care dearly for what they do.
THIS PLACE IS HORROR MOVIE IN REALITY
