Hi Everyone,
Has anyone had a positive inpatient anywhere? Positive meaning that there was no forced medication or seclusion, a supportive, gentle and helpful stay ? Anyone go to Timberlawn in Texas? Thanks so much for your input. (yeah, having hard time again, fbs and t isn't helping enough. The constant pain so triggering. we wanted to research a place before we lose it totally). Thanks so much, kerria |

Kerria....I cannot say that I have had a positive inpatient stay. I wish I could. Even when I have gone Voluntarily they seem to treat everyone the same. And, I even went to a private hospital.
Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind though. Maybe I felt like everyone was making fun of me. But, I am just sharing my experiences. I have been inpatient close to 20 times or so.... I now refuse to ever go into the hospital. I thought my T was going to put me in 2 weeks ago because I was feeling very unsafe but I managed to contract and do what she told me to do to avoid going in. Sorry..I guess this isn't much help. |

I know people that have gone to Timberlawn and it is a great place. Those that I know that went there had a fantastic outcome. It is hard work like with any treatment program the person needs to be open, honest and willing to do the work required. like with any treatment facility if the client is a danger to themselves or others steps like medication and or seclusion will happen for the safety of the client and other that are attending the facility. Just like with any mental health treatment the outcome depends on what the client is willing to put into it. They have no magic wands and cures. Its up to the clients to work the program or not, be safe to themselves and others or not.
