Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital

The only reason this treatment center was effective is because I am so terrified of going back there that I am hesitant to engage in eating disorder behaviors... I thought most of the staff were very harsh and not willing to accommodate to my personal needs. In one instance, I had already drank my two cups of water, but I needed a little bit more so I could help swallow my carrots that I was eating. The staff members refused to let me have an extra glass of water, which I thought was completely ridiculous. I would not recommend this treatment center for your daughter, and I think that the majority of my fellow patients would agree. My parents said that they regret sending me there. If you are in need of treatment for your child, there are better options to look into. Good luck on your journey and stay safe,

My husband had an appointment at the outpatient clinic and he was running 10 minutes late they cancelled him and told him to reschedule his doctor had a meeting to go to. Keep in mind it was around lunch time. I can\'t tell you how many times we sat the in waiting room well past our appointment time. We were dealing with a major issue and they DO NOT CARE, after we left they did not even call to check on my husbands well being. One would think a doctor in this profession would take his job a little more seriously dealing with mental illness patients.

Out patient program unavailable. Promised family member meeting with Psychologist and or Psychiatrist before admission and shut us (her children) out and didn\'t communicate at all. \"Doesn\'t do full psychological diagnosis or evaluations\", Psychiatrist \"spent 9 minutes \" in 5 days with my mother and she complained a couple employees were mocking patients behind their backs. Not impressed.

This was about 5-6 years ago when my sister went. They helped her for most part but really were able to help my parents deal with her and the co-dependacy. The treatment programs were great, the staff was understanding and patient. I'm sure they can only help so much when people don't want help and are forced to go, my sister knew how to play some people there, could get away with some stuff. She did get over her problems eventually but unfortunately played my parents even more after she got out. Wish they would have prepared my parents more for the games she would play. But, for most part She is finally better now but still can play games every now and then. I just went with my parents for a few meeting but I felt they needed to know more on how to deal with problems after coming home and learn to deal with 'threats' the young teens might make when they don't get their way. I don't know how to explain it other than my sister would threaten to not eat and go back into her anorexia if she didn't get her way. My mom especially would give in to her cause she felt like it was her fault and my sister knew she could play her. This went on for about a year til she had had enough and basically called her bluff. They had spent a lot of money on her during this year, not including paying for treatment. So looking back now I don't think they were informed enough of the tricks and threats they might do. But, she is better now and treatment did work.

well organized, great experience in a well maintained facility
