  I could write a book on how messed up this place was - and I was only there for 4 months. While I was there there was an on-going investigation because someone died and there were many questions on whether or not the nurses could have done something to prevent it. Look it up on Google, - I often saw news helicopters flying around the facility. There was something called "a quiet room", a closet sized room with padded walls. They'd stick you in there if they felt you were being out of control or did something wrong. We had something called deep clean where we spent hours upon hours cleaning certain rooms to the point where we had to wipe down cereal boxes and items in the pantry that literally didn't need cleaning - and you had to do it "right" or it wouldn't end. People broke glass, tried to run away, self harmed in front of us...I was among criminals with severe crimes. I transferred here as a secondary rehab. All I suffered from was depression and anxiety and was under 18 so I was not able to choose when I wanted to go home. I wasn't even able to go outside for over a week although I filled out many forms to "request" to be able to get some fresh air. I still suffer from PTSD as there was something called a "safety" which meant that everyone would stay in the classroom with our heads down for up to a week until we slept. Our food would be delivered to us there - and we would have to write a bunch of Youth Care statements on paper all day. I was so terrified that that would happen that I developed even more severe anxiety and often had panic attacks which I had never had before. It could happen at any time. They said they had done it in the past if the "community" was in shambles but that's not a good way to help things. It never happened and I was very grateful. That's pretty much how things were run around here. Even at this time in my life I got along with pretty much everyone, in my last facility all my therapists and the staff and my peers really liked me. None of the staff at YouthCare even resembled being genuine or nice. There was one stafff, she was Russian, and she scared the daylights out of me. I had to talk about her in therapy because I'd get so anxious when she was working, she'd yell at everyone and was incredibly mean. I didn't connect with any staff/therapist/nurse...quite honestly I didn't care for any of them. Like many have said - I completely felt like I was in jail. I was in the most misery I have ever experienced in my life - and I truly mean that. I felt like I was going to lose my mind. Thankfully I was able to leave. I truly wanted to write this because the kids who are struggling with mental illness deserve so much better. I don't want them to go through what I went through.

  I'm very thankful for the staff at Youth Care. Our son's therapist and his other counselors were fantastic. Everyone we dealt with was caring and very professional. They challenged our son just enough, and knew when and how to encourage him and to push him just the right amount. I just wish our insurance wouldn't have stopped covering his treatment, because he was beginning to make good changes in the right direction. If it wasn't for Youth Care, the chances are great that our son would have overdosed or be in jail by now.
