serious: the hell that i just went through at Georgetown Behavioral Health Institute

Sharon replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan

My daughter went in Friday for one on one counseling. She saw a suicide up close and hasn't been able to reconcile this. But the intake staff saw her 20 year old cutting scars and locked her up against her will. Its now Wednesday and they refuse to release her. Son in law is fighting it. Police involved. They threatened keep her to 45 days if she signed the AMA release form. Police made them give it to her. 24 hours later we find out they didn't. This place is horrible. She will be scarred far worse now than when she went in. And she is a teacher and mother of 3. And it is her 35th birthday and her daughters 15th birthday. She was told if she stayed she could leave any time but definitely by Sunday at dinner so she can go back to work on Monday. Yet all doors are chained, she was physically restrained when she went to walk out and they are medicating her. Now this lock up could cost her her teaching job. This place needs to be shut down!
