Charter North Star Behavioral Health System

Thinking about sending your child here or to any other northstar facility? Don't. You can do better. This is more akin to a prison than a mental health center. Seek other options, most hospitals have better programs.

how am i able to talk to someone i want to talk to? after finally receiving a message after days i been wondering where this person went , he said to call him and he is expecting a call sooner or later. like i called awhile ago and they said my name wasn’t on the list, i’m so upset like i don’t know what to do..

I was sent to the short term facility when i was 13 back in 2009. They immediately put me on medications for depression. One morning i went to take my meds and they gave me a pill i didnt recognize. I questioned the nurse and was told to take it. 1 hour later i felt like i was going to die. I passed out and was yelled at to get up and continue my school work. I can't believe they would treat a kid this this.

You can go there and try to be good but trust me, they will not let you be good. You will stay in there longer then your supposed to and you will not come out the same. Someone needs to shut this place down

I heard they keep some of their patients and never release them no matter how hard the parents try so if you love your kids, I would consider somewhere else. Anything but North star.
