Rawson Neal Psychiatric Hospital

This place is horrible!!! My son was in there for about 30 days after he spent a week in detox. The plan was for him to stay at this dump until a bed opened up in a rehab. They did absolutely nothing for him. He talked to an idiot psychiatrist that was more worried about if he had suicidal thoughts. No you moron he was a drug addict asking for help. This Dr. called me & told me they were discharging because there was nothing they could do for him since there was no bed available in a rehab. I begged her not to release him, I told her if they did release him he would die. She said we can’t keep him unless he is a harm to himself. I told her what do you think he is doing every time he sticks a needle in his arm. Well guess what? They released him anyway & my son passed away less than 2 months later from an overdose. So thanks for nothing!!!

I was sent to rawson-​neal from the hospital for suicidal thoughts. Just suicidal thoughts. I was stuck in the hospital for 7 days with no idea why I was there or why I couldn’t leave. No one would talk to me. I was given a cup of basically hand soap to shower. Like 2 pumps of pink soap to shower in the disgusting open showers in the bathroom. I didn’t even want to put my bare feet on it… But I did. Every time I needed to use the restroom I had to get a staff member to unlock the door. But everyone kept telling me «Ask someone else. Why me?». They even told me to ask the janitor at one point.
No one spoke to me about anything that was going on. I had to ask other patients what was going on.
Its like prison. The beds are hard as rocks literally. None of the staff cares about you.

WARNING! Please Google this hospital before you seek any sort of treatment there for you or a loved one. This hospital have been heavily involved with patient dumping in the past few years. Basically they take their mentally ill patients, buy them a bus ticket and send them to states like California and Oregon… and then LEAVE them on the streets with no money, food or place to live. This is sickening, they should be closed down.

I’m so glad my mom was released after being there 3 months. I’m so happy she was not one of those dumped patients! The doc basically have up on her and told me there was nothing more they could do. I took her to Dr. Luis Ortega and it turns out they had been giving her medication that counteracted with each other! Dr. Ortega did wonders and she has been doing great for almost 2 years!
This place deserves NO STARS!!!

Rawson Neal is under investigation for patient-​dumping on a monumental scale, 1500 patients in 5 years.
Shame. Not one of you should hold a medical license, and some of you should likely be in jail.

this place is so terrible horrible rude crude unprofessional an lack of what’s the word compassion to families an the mentally ill. make sure you get guardian ship papers A.S.A.P. an power of attorney. you’ll need it or you will be in the dark. and your loved one’s. will be lost in rawson neal. family court self help go there. they drug you till you are sleepy stupid. and the Dr’s never visit there patients. the staff «nurse «laugh at you when you have a brake down. they send your family out of state and they never tell you SHIT! they just want a paycheck. im so glad dr. s and staff got fired. now good people can work here and treat people with respect and treat them for there disorders properly and no more patient dumping.

One word… HORRIBLE! Interested in medicating patients, not truly «helping» them for long term purposes! My son has been to this facility repeatedly, and repeatedly, they accept him, changing nothing about this routine, accept medicating, possibly increasing his dosage, changing his medications. My son has never discussed with me, how this facility has helped him. It’s a place of shelter for him, when he has nowhere to go. Horrible way to «TREAT» the mentally unstable. Medicating them, is not the sole answer, especially when you have repeat patients.
