Best Psychiatric Hospital Springfield Near Me

Joe Rivera: They worked hard for me and I really appreciate that.

Gerald Schmidt: I feel like a lot of family members write to say how much this center has done for their loved ones. I am that loved one writing myself to say that my time there really did change my life.

Liam Thomas: I have struggled with depression and anxiety over the years and had so much trouble finding a doctor who was understanding and really listened to what I had to say. But everyone here has been so kind and welcoming to me since my very first visit. They really listen and I’ve never felt better.

Adam Smith: I highly recommend Springfield Behavioral Hospital. They have a wonderful program, the therapy rooms are calming and relaxing. It really helped me out. I want to tell you guys thank you very much.

DUVAL Fanise: You have to go where you feel comfortable. For me it is the Springfield Behavioral Hospital. If not for my counselor, I don’t know if I would still be here now. They really stepped up when I needed their help.

Thomas Coleman: As a parent, I am so, SO grateful to have amazing people like the ones at this facility taking care of my child. It means the WORLD to me to have him in a place where he’s safe and taken care of.

Miguel Osorio: The people who work here are nice, compassionate, knowledgeable, and treat everyone like their own.

Moussa Dembelé: Can’t recommend this hospital enough. If you’ve hit a wall, this is where you want be. I promise it’s worth it.

Haldy Sanogo: Pretty chill place to be, totally unlike anything I thought it was going to be tbh.

Barbara Hoffman: SBH has done for my brother what other such facilities have not been able to. For that reason, they have my recommendation and high praise.

Jonas Kere: So far, so good with the therapy here. I’m seeing improvement.

Boureima Ouedraogo: When my sister suffered from depression we sent her to this outpatient therapy center. She was there for a short time and is now doing very well. It’s amazing how much she has grown. She is doing amazing and is much healthier too.

jouiri samia: This amazing hospital and their incredible staff saved my brother’s life!! After several years of my brother being misdiagnosed and improperly medicated, Springfield Behavioral Hospital was finally able to properly diagnose and therefore properly medicate my brother.

Kacie Boedecker: I went here in March of 2022 and I liked it. The staff seemed cool and laid-back, never yelled at us, let us pick movies and we listened to music and played games, and we had fun different activities everyday including painting each other’s nails and getting dolls to play with their hair.The nurses are very thorough when giving meds and check your mouth most of the time. I think they could do better room checks though.The techs were very nice and cool with us. I could tell they cared about us. Even though I already got my one phone call from my mom every night, my dad would call and they would let him talk to me for the 10 minutes.Other people might find the fact that they let the patients curse there a problem, but I didn’t really mind it. I felt super comfortable and very happy at Perimeter and I made friends while I was there.I felt very safe and we all loved the sensory room. Also the staff are very open minded and will call you your preferred pronouns.I was in the girl’s section I’d say from ages 9-15 years and I liked it. My brother went to the boy’s section and he said he really hated it. The boys were always yelling and being crazy and punching walls and my brother didn’t feel safe there and couldn’t wait to come home.Overall, I liked my stay at Perimeter. I wouldn’t suggest taking your son here though (unless he’s girl to boy transgender because he’ll go to the girl’s pod). 👍👍👍

Sherry Crank: They didn’t share the genetic test that they performed on her with me and nor can you get a hold of anyone to get the results. I had to call the genetic place and fill out forms to get the results. Then getting a hold of anyone to get pre-authorization on pills they prescribe is a joke also. I think the whole place is a joke. My daughter did like a few nurses but said they quit because of the way they were treated. So please go to another facility besides this one. It’s just a dollar sign to them, not a child.

Nikki Henry: They did nothing for our son. Allowed him to be aggressive and violent and never be held accountable and upon release offered no real thought into an aftercare treatment plan. They also REFUSED to take him back for continued treatment saying they cannot handle his aggressive behavior. Staff was rude and unhelpful as well upon pickup.

Ashton Leahy: Amazing staff, fun activities, therapy really helps; horrible food though. They put me on medication that truly helped, and we had group therapy too. I recommend this hospital for those who need help, Cameron, Harley, Jess, Cassidy and Sylvia were all amazing.

Krystal Simpson: My step son was admitted for observation last Wednesday and we had to pick him up yesterday no dr ever spoke to my husband about what is going just put him on meds they did nothing to help him and he was suppose to stay 10 days he need a help and they did nothing at all and it took 3 phone calls to get his meds called into the pharmacy

Queen Abilene: Please do not take your child here. I took my daughter here after she had a mental health crisis. I was unhappy when they failed to answer the phone, provide updates on her progress, or return my calls. After I expressed my concerns, they informed me they would not allow me ANY contact with my child. They refused to release her to me even though there was no court order allowing them to withhold her. I had to call the police to get them to let my daughter out of the facility. Once she was home, my daughter made allarming disclosures about how she was treated. Please do not take your child here. If I want a persistent person who was willing to get the police involved I likely wouldn't have been able to free my daughter from here. It isn't safe. Parents should know that they ae willing to break the law and withhold your child if you question their facility.

Michael Whitaker: I've worked here for a year and a half. So many great changes are being made. This hospital really takes care of patients very well. Springfield Behavioral hospital really cares about the staff and Patient care. I am proud to be with this company. I'm excited for the future of this hospital. I would recommend this place for future patients and future staff to work at

MacKenzie Cardamone: I was in this facility for 6 months between the ages of 15 and 16. I’m now 27 and still have to talk about the traumatic impacts of being in this facility. While there I experienced emotional trauma, overmedication, deprived of normal social interactions, punished with food, and experienced a plethora of gastrointestinal issues from a mixture of being over medicated and my dietary restrictions ignored. I was sent to the facility after a mental break when previously hidden trauma was made known to my family. The hospital was made aware that there was confirmation from the perpetrator of the crime that the traumatic event did in fact take place. Not only was I called a liar in therapy, my therapist told my parents they believed I was lying about the trauma to get attention. That was the first red flag for my parents as it was an indisputable truth. Patients are pushed to lash out. I was punished with food, and then punished again later for eating out of the trash because I was starving. I was on 8 different pills a day at 75 lbs. 2 different sleeping meds. This caused hair loss, and issues with my intestines. When I lashed out from the inhumane treatment, I was given a minimum of two seperate tranquilizers and they would even call my mom to ask for her rotten consent to give me more if I wouldn’t submit to being locked in a padded room when I had severe claustrophobia. At the 6 month mark was when my dad came to see me,. He told my mother to see me for herself and I was pulled out within a week. But not without the threat that the facility would fight her in it. We had really good military insurance and I was one fat check to them. Please for the love of your children, do not sent them here and make them a victim of the troubles teen industry.

Steve LaDue: Lakeland 4 north has been a blessing to our family as they help my sister out so much to get though her issues. You guys rock all of you, from the the front deck to the floor. The food not the best but you can bring food and eat with your family. Love all you guys God bless the family at Lakeland.

Cyan Sparks: An absolute garbage of a psych hospital. Staff are so rude and disrespectful towards patients. While I was here the only person I felt actually cared was my therapist. If you want your mental illness to get worse, go here. I was there during a covid breakout, no a single staff member wore masks. The only time they wore masks was when corporate came in. DO NOT send your kids here please.

molly foeste: I am giving them 5 stars because i was admitted here may 4th 2023 and i had an overall great experience I was on four south i had good care, good group, and good food. in group you will learn how to cope with the things you are going through, you will also get the chance to tell your story with other people who relate on some levels. Ms. Aimee was my favorite she was like my second mom in there! Ms. Kelsy was my also one of my favorites. a lot of the reviews talk about abuse i did not experience that here. I thought the staff was very polite and caring in my time of need. overall if your thinking about admitting yourself or sending your child this is a great place! i got the meds i needed. i came home so with SO MANY new coping skills. It deserves more love, has 5 star potential for sure!

Danielle Woolhiser: My 7 year old son was there in April 2023 for 6 days. There wasn't a lot of communication during his stay so we felt in the dark a lot. The showers are cold. But he is a different child now in a positive way. He hasn't tried to hurt himself since he's been home.

Peyton Rusher: Disrespectful and rude staff. One of them commented on another worker there "being too nice" to the admitted kids. The beds are akin to a slab of concrete. Group therapy is about the only thing they offer. The food is downright vile at best and pure cyanide at worst. The kids were given canned tomatoes one day as part of their lunch. When the kids were treated unfairly by the staff, administration proceeded to gaslight the kids into thinking that it was their fault. Items are constantly stolen and misplaced. Don't let your children come here, it just teaches them to hide things from parents.

Alicia Jones: I would NOT recommend bringing your child here. #1. Was told my daughter had to be admitted, which i was fine with, but was not told there would be no contact for 24 hrs. #2. Dropped clothes off bc I didnt know what time office closes (online says open 24 hrs) no one gave me the papers I later saw them give to foster parents about schedules, times to call, etc. When we checked in they have you fill out a form of call lists. Later found out i had to remove her cousin bc you only get 10 min a day to call. And if you call while they are in the middle of something, like group or lunch, they are extremely rude. But again, i didnt recieve a schedule. Didnt even know i was supposed to get one. Found out you only get to visit 3 days a week between 4 and 7 for 30 min. And you get skipped after being already told it will be a while even when i made an appointment. #3. Lost her clothes and took several days to locate all except brand new slippers I just bought and laughed bc they said they provide her clean clothes and was mocked by them saying, "they might not be the nicest, name brand clothes." I explained I just wanted my daughter to feel a little more comfort from home, had nothing to do with brand or anything like that. #4. Didn't know my daughter didn't have a pillow until Tuesday (she arrived Saturday) when I visited her and asked if I needed to bring her anything. She told me she had no pillow. #5. They pulled her off her meds just bc my daughter told them her father didn't want her on anything. They didn't notify me to tell me they took her off of pills she needed for major depression and anxiety. (Whole reason I brought her) I sent Maria an email with my parenting plan with my ex, where it clearly states "if we can't agree, it is up to provider to decide what is best." This place was very unorganized and unprofessional. I am not happy with our experience at all.

Ross Taylor: As someone who was forced to go here when I was younger I suggest doing anything else. This place was a horrible experience and only caused harm

Ryann Delph: It's been a few years since my daughter spent 8 months at Lakeland. Since then she has had 3 more residential placements. Lakeland was the best by far because of the people. My daughter has never had a therapist she connected with more and she still talks about the staff who became her family while she was there.

Taylor Savage: Have signs outside that say they are hiring, have ads on indeed posted everywhere plus new listings everyday, but wont hire anybody? Ive called up here 3 different times to check on my application and nothing they just say they will call me back and never do. On top that, you want people to work 12 hour shifts and need shifts picked up constantly because you dont have enough staff. Maybe hire some people and that wouldnt be the case, or take your listings down if youre not going to hire people.

M S (Advocate): Corporate doesn't have feet on the ground and has unrealistic expectations of an employee roster of mostly minimum wagers (or close).The cafeteria food is unpleasant not because of the cafeteria staff, but because of the health guidelines that are an exaggerated form of the ones the Health Department mandates.OSHA guidelines regarding toilets per employee are loopholed around, in practice you've got over two hundred employees competing for four bathrooms, less if patients are occupying any of those restrooms.The supervisors (lower to mid management) come across as very human and empathetic, but the mandates carried down from Corporate reflect a group of people whose only POV is what their financial reports and spreadsheets tell them.The new Attendance Policy sets employees with families and/or disabilities up for failure, or at least that's what the employees with families and/or disabilities I've spoken to seem to agree on. Doesn't matter if your kid is sick, if you have to pick one up from school, or if you have Crohn's Disease.....you rack up points every time your late, and each point only dissolves after A FULL YEAR!!!So much to cover, so little time.Parents and guardians, I haven't seen much to make me think your kids aren't in safe hands, but a company whose executives don't lose sleep over conveying themselves as this heavyhanded and stingy? I would have many questions, and I'd be asking those floor techs, EVS, drivers and maintenance workers these questions, not the Public Relations trained HR/Executive staff.*DISCLAIMER: this review is the opinion of the poster and does not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of Lakeland behavioral health or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Emily: Guys I was at Lakeland when I was 16 I had these friends their names where Jenna Maddie rose and Karissa if you know who these people are please tell them I am trying to contact them

Sadie Lanah: While I have never been admitted here, I have known too many people that unfortunately have. They all share the same bad experience. Abusive staff, forced to take medications that aren’t right for them, personal belongings being stolen. It’s been compared to being in jail, and driving by the building, the appearance matches up. In school, my group of friends were the mentally ill ones, and Lakeland was often a topic of discussion whether we knew someone in there or talking about general experiences. I’m not writing this review for me, I’m writing this for old friends and anybody thinking about admitting yourself or a loved one in. Don’t, just stay away. I do hope that this town gets a proper psychiatric facility that doesn’t abuse their patients, but this place is not it.

Satino: Witnessed abuse in a daily basis. I’ve been there at least 5 times and after the 3rd they knew who I was and would like to mentally and sometimes physically abuse me. I was 12 and as a consequence, one day I was sent to the older teen side of the building 15-17 and got me beaten by a kid 5 years older then me. They never came in the room to help me and laughed at me after it was over. We spoke with the I guess “BIG BOSS” and he made excuses and gave my mother a hateful attitude

Rivr B: I am currently 15 years old and I went there when I was 10 they were very unsanitary and had disease outbreaks I told the nurses I wasn’t feeling well so they gave me a small tub and sent me on my way later that day my parents came to visit for family therapy and at the end of the session I stood still not being able to speak and ended up projectile vomiting all over the floor on another case I had extreme diarrhea and i just sat in my room all day and ate jello and soup if you act out they will put you in a cement room and if you continue to act out they will restrain you and inject your child with something to “calm them down” if you would like more info about places like these I do suggest watching cruel instruction it is a true story of a 16 year old girl in the tti (troubled teen industry)

Cory McCabe: My child was admitted then placed with a roommate with flu at the end of the first day. She stayed in quarantine until the fourth day, then she was discharged after getting no help other then an initial talk with the therapist.Don't bring your child here. They treat them like numbers. We are taking her somewhere she'll actually get help.

FOSTER TV LLC: Beware:Lakeland is desperate for people to work here yet treat their employees terrible. They threaten employees with their job with a ridiculous point system if they call in sick or go home sick. They over work staff which is never good in a psychiatric, mental health situation. They allow workers to work 16 hour shifts in this high stress environment. Many employees treat the patient and co-workers in an extremely toxic manner. The environment in this facility is unhealthy and does not put the youth's needs first. This is a hospital for victims and mentally ill patients yet the environment is not therapeutic. Employee turnover is extremely high with very low employee retention.Many judges, GLA's and social service agencies refuse to send clients here due to the extremely volatile environment.

Tabetha White: My daughter was admitted here for 5 days. She was put in 4S and had a good experience as a whole. She got the help she needed and I was informed the whole time. She really liked Ms Mitchell and Ms S. Food sucks and it was cold were the worst complaints.As for finding her a place, it has the nicest and most helpful staff of other places I called. They were able to admit immediately and worked with me on her release.She did say the other units had a lot of fighting in them.Not a bad place to send a teenager who needs immediate help.

Christin Manning: Went here Mr Brian and Ms Nikki are the best staff at 2 south.

Maggie Lee: My God how is this place still open?

Mariela Anderson: I don't know what happened to St. John's. I had to go to ER last night and the nurses up front that I don't know how to describe but like overweight and extremely rude. I was having trouble with my speaking and they wanted me to say all my symptoms right away. I told them but I asked to check my medical history ( I had an av fistula in my brain) and they could understand what was going on with me. They were joking around, making me feel like crap that I wasn't taking the whole situation seriously. They are more than rude, they are offensive and they are abusive to you just because at that moment they can. This "Mercy" hospital for me is now SCARY.

Rhonda Shearer: They just sit the kids in front of a TV. They mess up their medicines. And then they just add MORE medicines to try and fix the problem. There's not a lot of therapy going on there. And 90% of the staff is very rude. Horrible place.

Kacie Boedecker: I went here twice this year. I remember when a little boy probably 9 years old was upset they just threw him into some solitary room and held the door closed while he screamed and begged to be let out.Most of the staff were quite rude and one of them refused to give me a sugar packet for no reason, her name was Galilea. One staff rolled her eyes at me when I asked for something, like how hard is it to be kind to someone feeling suicidal? The food was very good and we got a menu and we got to pick our food to eat. We weren’t really allowed to pick movies unless it was the weekend. They are very strict about showers and make you shower every night. They also don’t allow you to whisper or curse.There was one particular staff that was so so rude to everyone for no reason and I could tell she hated her job just by how she treated all the patients, her name was Kris and she was the gym teacher.The classroom teacher was also very rude and everyone ignored me when I was visibly crying in class. They don’t let you draw in school even if you’re having a panic attack and it’s one of your coping skills, they also refused to tell me what time class ends for absolutely no reason.Most of the staff were very rude and obviously did not like their job. There were a few nice ones though, especially Gabe. You can tell he cares about the patients and asked me what I was reading and told me my drawings were good.The games in gym were usually very fun and when you get a yellow wristband you get to pick the games.When I was there both times there was usually a lot of kids there and that made me a bit anxious. It’s also mixed with boys and girls but nothing bad ever happened with that. We all get our own private rooms and the techs are good about checking everyone at night.It’s actually kind of boring there but it is definitely safe. I would recommend this hospital if you’re having a crisis and need help.

nick secker: I’ve called patient advocates multiple times about said issues still nothing has been done. My boyfriend currently is there . The staff don’t answer the patient phones as they should during phone call times, I have to call multiple times every phone call time to get ahold of my boyfriend ( the phone just rings non stop) the drs that prescribe medication don’t listen to what my boyfriend says to them . Not to mention he is constantly seeing a different doctor there and that makes it hard to get a stable list of meds he will actually take. Even after calling patient advocates this does not seem to be taken seriously and my boyfriend was taken of a medication he actually needs and will take all because the Dr said he did not want to prescribe the medication. (My boyfriend was already on it and it was working just fine for him)

Lazi Lazi: I was here when I was 8, and last year. it's been quite a long time since but I thought I'd give people a heads up. Don't admit your kids or loved ones here. I was treated terribly. I was screamed at by a worker for self-harming. Which is not how you approach someone doing that, that worker also wrote down, "Self-harming for attention" yes totally because I would love to hurt myself for others' attention, right? NO! Also took over a day to be admitted. That's ridiculous.

S Na: Took over 10 hours to be admitted, need I say more….? I found another facility that streamlines their admission and allows patients more freedoms while there. Their admission was done all from home…. And they even provided transportation….never going back Cox north, period!

eli mercado: bad- they smell :(

Nicole Pickens: This place is the biggest joke around. I came in and it was pretty slow. Me and my child waited over 4 hours for a nurse that works with the psychiatrist to come talk to my son. They said that they are pretty sure he could control his issue if he wanted or choose to. My son needed help and this place completely let him down. They obviously don't care and it completely showed

Hollie Sturms: I would not recommend this place to anyone! "Tammy" one of the nurses is very rude and disrespectful. I was here with my 14 year old and I will never come back to this place period!If you want your child to be safe and careful for, DO NOT BRING THEM HERE!!!!

Cassi Canaday: I was locked up for 2 days and the staff was okay, some where pretty judgemental but they said my stay was voluntary but they put me on suicide watch and didn't listen to anything I had to say about my incident. They also wouldn't let me leave even tho they said I could leave anytime. Also said the reason the doors were locked, was to keep people out, not to keep us in. The doctor that came to see me didn't want me to leave but I argued and he finally caved in and said it was up to my husband to let me go home. The activities and groups they have, make you feel like your in a daycare. Not a fun place. Never want to go back. They strip you down naked and examine your body and give you scrubs and disposable underwear. Only get to shower once a day. Hard beds with thin blankets and flat pillows. If you have to go to the bathroom, the doors in the rooms don't shut and the patient public bathroom doesn't have a lock. Strict tv and meal times as well as visitation and phone calls.
