Bootheel Behavioral Health

I was here in may of 2022 and I thought it was a great facility, they were strict enough but not too strict to where I felt uncomfortable, the workers were all very nice and caring and made me feel a little better. The only people that didn’t feel good there were those who refused to listen to simple instructions and had to deal with security constantly. Meals are pretty good with lots of options, they have a Wii they allow you to play sometimes and we watch Disney plus and listen to appropriate music. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday we had activity therepy twice a day and saw the psychiatrist plus free time and school. On Wednesday and the Weekend we had a nap time instead of school and we had yoga on Wednesday instead of activity therepy but not on the weekends. The weekends were pretty boring with really no help. I talked to a psychiatrist over the phone on saterday but that was all. the thing I find very IMPORTANT to know is that they let me go before I was ready, I was in there for suicidal ideation along with other things but I still wanted to go home and die and had a plan to and they sent me home anyway even after having a breakdown and telling them that was what I was going to do. I do thing it’s a good facility but I wish the psychiatrist Brooke would Have listened more, she seemed to be the only one to not care about me and my feelings and just wanted to rush me out of there and she was making all the decisions on that not the actual doctor. If you kid does need somthing urgently I would recommend it because it was a non toxic facility.
