Charter North Star Behavioral Health System

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.

Caused me many problems as a teen. I still remember the I’ll treatment and would never recommend this place.

They kept wanting to add more, and more, and more pills for every little thing. Although I learned some things, and some of the staff were nice. The food was pretty bad and we often found stuff in it. They would keep us inside and barely let us out. Most of us had low vitamin D and C. We're not allowed to see friends, we just work, eat , and chat.
