Alliance Health Center

I only gave one star because I had to to put up my review, if not for that they would have a negative 5 stars. I took my son to Alliance today for possible admission. As we walked in the lobby they asked for ID and insurance. My husband had stepped out to our vehicle to get my son's shoes when the lady that came out to admit my son told me I couldn't have my purse so j asked my son to take it out to the car. She attempted to tell me that my child could not leave. Now keep in mind we had only been there no more than 10 minutes. No admission papers had been signed nothing had been signed I hadn't even signed the sign it sheet. When I asked why she said because we dont let patients leave once they come. Until he was admitted he was not a patient so I took my child outside and discussed the situation with my husband while the lady eavsdaropeed at the door to our conversation. I went in and informed them that he would not he staying there when she told me again that he could t leave once he had been given a bed. My son had a mobile assessment done last night, we agreed to come in talk to someone about admissions, and see if we like the facility, we never agreed to admissions signed any papers but they tried to keep our child. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE. I will never recommend this facility. The staff is awful, rude, and this woman did not care one bit about upsetting my child.

very rude there an u can only talk on the phone for 10mins at 12pm they rush u off the phone even if yeen been on it 10mins u cant get income calles cant go outside wash with hand soap u can only look out a window if someone get in trouble the whole floor go on unit restict there very mean warning dont send your kids here.

This place was a complete joke n when my boyfriend left they refused him his seizure medication that he brought w him!!!!!!! He has been gone 19 days n has had 2 seizures since being home!!!! I wouldn't refer my enemy there!!!! Sum of the staff was absolutely awesome but its ridiculous no structure!!!!!! It really needs to be ran by someone differently that knows what they're doing!!!!!! Arthur is not qualified at all to run such a facility!!!!!!

If I could give my experience here a lower rating I would. I was in the psychiatric ward. It's so poorly designed that techs watch your every move (no cameras in the rooms) so that means they're bursting in the rooms at night every 15 minutes. The nurses rely on techs to do eveything. The therapeutic groups were laughable. No books in the day room. Color sheets/puzzles have to be "stolen" from downstairs when in other groups. Often times we would play a game and then the last five minutes we would get a hand out and the occupational therapist would ask us if everyone knew why we had played the game today. Rooms are semi-private, but my roommate was nice. The ward is small... It's like a prison, and the fluorescent lighting kept me in a migraine. One of the nurses especially was very rude, and I never did get my hormones which I'm supposed to take everyday. I asked for a daily schedule, which is standard and was never provided one, so I had to memorize group times etc. No fresh air breaks unless you are going to the gym and that's for a few seconds in transport. There's a lot of downtime. Oh yeah, and I never once saw my doctor... Only his nurse practioners! I had a family emergency (my grandmother was critically ill with pneumonia and I am her primary caregiver) and I asked to AMA and I got word from the mythical unseen Dr. That if I asked again I would be put on a mandatory 72hr hold, which can lead to commital! This place only let me go bc of my bad insurance. But thank God I got out. Never again will I sign my rights away, because when you go into hospital for treatment, that's exactly what you're doing. Better read those papers. I wouldn't send a stranger off the street to this place. I left with my clothes in the wash, and the nurse told me there was no chance of getting them back. Lost a good pair of jeans too, which may seem like a small matter but when you're walking through Walmart in paper pants trying to get something to cover your body, you think of things like that. This place is about 20 years or so behind other treatment facilities in methods and facilities. If you want decent psychiatric care, try Pine Grove in Hattiesburg.

I would not go to anlliance helth center. Cuz the nurse are mean and they don't give you want you need they are very mean to you
