DO NOT GO HERE! I signed myself in hoping to get some help with my anxiety and depression and they told me after 24hrs I could sign myself out and leave and since I did not want to harm myself or others and that the doctor would more than likely release me the next day after speaking to me. They also told me they had plenty of almost-new clothes that I could wear and they would allow me to use my tampons but the nurse would hold onto them. Well, the moment I got in the back the nurse told me I would be there more than 24hrs and that they never allowed tampons... umm WHAT? I would have never signed myself in if I was not allowed to use my tampons. Well I still thought the doctor would let me go home the next day, if not I could sign myself out, right? NO. That night one girl freaked out and 10 people followed her around and gave her the shot it IT DID NOTHING to her.. they followed her around and allowed her to continue to threaten people. I was told that it did not matter if she was mocking me they only intervened if she was going to hit me. Well I slept through the night hoping to leave the next day. Saw the doctor she made me sign for medication and would not tell me the side effects, she then said I would leave the next morning. I started to cry and she said "okay thank you" and basically kicked me out of her office. Oh not to mention there were like five other people in her office who were listening to my session with her, no privacy. After five minuets with the doctor, after I was kicked out, my social worker told me to collect myself and stop crying or else the doctor would keep me longer. NOW I can not even cry. All you could do was sit there and stare at the wall while others talked to themselves, talked on the phone, paced around, hogged the TV, or slept all day. I felt worse in this place than I did when I entered this place. They didnt have any underwear and I had to ask several times for clean clothes so I could shower. Half of the other girls I talked to didnt even know they could ask for shower stuff or that someone was allowed to bring them clothes. This place is a wreck. AVIOD this place. I was scared the entire time I was in there and I felt the need to act happy and smile and force myself not to cry so they would allow me to leave EVEN-THOUGH I was voluntary and should have been allowed to sign myself out whenever. What they fail to tell you in admission is that it has to be 24hrs after you see the doctor so your doctor can see how your meds are affecting you. My doctor did not even see me again before I left and my chest hurts from the meds and I dont know why because my doctor would not see me today. This place just wants your insurance money, there was no help. Only pills, sleeping techs, and rude nurses who refuse to answer any questions.

The beds are plastic covered 2" foam on plywood beds. And the pillows are even worse. Sometimes you get pillow cases and sometimes you dont. The food is hauled in from the devils kitchen. It all tastes the same, disgusting. Be careful because if you are in your room when the food is served you will not eat. There are no clocks so it is impossible to tell when it is meal time. I have seen the staff eat the patients food because the patient was sleeping and the staff would not go and get them. You get maybe 10 minutes with the Doctor , if you can call him that, on your initial visit and he diagnoses you in that time. If you have insurance you see him for 5 minutes each day. If you dont have insurance you see him everyother day. Some of the staff needs to be fired and replaced with caring people who understand the paitients. I saw some of the staff be quite violent with the patients and others that just did not care. I realize they have to deal with difficult people day in and day out, but they chose the job. If you dont like the job then find another one. I was never told what the names of the medications I took. I guess they think people with mental illness are all stupid individuals and are unable to understand what they are saying. All I do know is that if you refuse for ANY reason, you will be held down against your will and given a shot that makes you sleep for a full day. For that person who said to ignore the negative comments, you either work there and you were never a patient there.

Park place is horrible! The physicists are the worst in central Florida. Someone else said this they literally try to talk you into having bipolar disorder and get you hooked on crazy pills you dont need. They wont treat anxiety and if you tell them you have anxiety they label you a pill seeker right off the bat. Please dont go here their are so many other places that actually want to help you park place is not one of them. They are extremely rude they make you feel like you should of never even asked for help. I cant put into words how horrible these people make you feel. I was nervous to go somewhere else after this experience but it was worth it. I wish I could talk to everyone individually who was even thinking of going here its the wrong move. Im in the process of talking to the better business bureau someone needs to do something they are treating people with mental illness like crap it needs to be shut down immediately. They are wrongly diagnosing children with bipolar just so theyll end up in their inpatient treatment they dont believe adults can have ADHD its just so wrong everything about this place everything about these physicists is wrong!!!

DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY. APPALLING, INCOMPETENT, USELESS, THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP SOMEONE GET BETTER. FIND ANY OTHER PLACE IT WOULD BE BETTER. THIS ONE IS PITIFUL. UNBELIEVABLE. This facility is not helpful at all!!! There was a fight in the court yard and my son was in danger. The place was locked down. They do nothing to help you. The only thing they do is make sure you dont kill yourself, no therapy, no counseling, etc. You dont even get a blanket on a VERY HARD bed. A suitcase of clean clothes for my son was not delivered, it sat the front desk for 6 hours. when I called to ask them to walk 20 feet and get it, they said they were busy. I filed a formal complaint with BCBS for what that is worth.

Ever wonder why no one else will accept medicaid expect park place? Because they have the worst physcriasts ever and they really have no choice because nobody with good insurance would ever even consider this place!! Outpatient care is horrible they do not know how to treat any mental illness besides bipolar and depression if you dont have those they will do everything in their power to talk you into having it then they will tell you you cant be treated for the mental illness you actually have until you take bipolar pills and antidepressants. A bunch of quacks! Listen to the reviews stay far away from this place stay far away from these physcriasts or you will end up physically addicted to pills you dont need!!
