Not even one star was admitted there hoping to get help, it was the worst choice I have ever made ...not everyone but most of the people dont care they treat u like garbage , talk about u in front of you, they will laugh at u in your face most of the time they just sit there on there phones.when u as for something or help they act like it is a burden for them. Most of the patients there they just give them meds that knock them out ...most patients is group therapy could barley hold there head up !!!! Its very dirty!! I could go all day about this place there are a few people there who do care But only a few.. Seeing this was so sad especially for the patients that had no control and just took the meds !!! I would never ever ever recommend this place NO WAY EVER YOU WOULD GET BETTER IN A PLACE LIKE THIS PLACE.... they say they have recreation lol well it was a movie played on the wall in the gym no fresh air, no type of excersise I heard the person in charge say until the regulations change hes not doing any paperwork for anything!!! On a personal note if u dont care dont take a job like this ....you are so wrong for treating people the way u do just cause they need help doesnt make them less then u.you should be ashammed of yourself !!! GET OFF YOUR PHONES AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR PATIENTS!!!!! I will be filling a long list of things even names of people with the person in charge or anyone who can help those patient You cant here them BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE TO BE QUIT...THEN ILL BE THERE VOICE.....SO SO SO SO SAD!!!!

I have gone to memorial for more than a decade. The only help I ever got was from Ms. Givens. Got her because the Dr. I had had to quit due to personal issues. If you have a child that needs help she is probably the best on the coast. The Drs I have had are case studies of their own. One was so detached from me as a patient I considered her dangerous. Not that she should feel bad, she is not the first Dr. in mental health that has treated their patients that way. I use to go, in the late 90s to a psychiatrist on Broad Ave that would tell me if I went to mass I would not have any problems. I think he is out of the system now. I have several friends that have shared the same mental health practitioners stories from different facilities on the coast, some I have had. Sooo... if doctors do not think people who want and need good mental health doctors do not talk...they do. Always the same ..the bad ones are bad for everyone and the good practitioners like ms. Givens at Memorial help their patients and their patients talk about them. Anyone who needs mental health doctors or a NP I wish you the best. It is like we are fighting two battles; one your emotional problems, the other the medical providers who you have to deal with. Those who need help and try to get it know a little bit more why our mental health system does not work. Too bad no one really seems to care or listen.

I came here to help manage my mental health. The "doctor" I talked to was so rude. After asking about my past problems told me I needed to be hospitalized even though I am not suicidal! She got rude with me then brought my husband in. Told him everything I said which is personal and although he already knows, she should not be sharing personal information without my consent! Tried to tell me she could put me on a 72 hour hold without my consent. NO YOU CAN NOT UNLESS SOMEONE IS PLANNING TO HARM THEMSELVES OR OTHER. Well when my husband came in there he straightened that out real quick. Waited almost 2 months to get in. Was previously being seen in another state before I moved. So pretty mad I waited that long just to have someone make my stress levels go up even more! Will never go back here and if anyone I know says they are coming here I will talk them out of it! Going to take my buisness and health concerns somewhere else. Please reconsider going here its terrible! mental health is very important so take your buisness somewhere to people who actually want to help and not just fill beds and make money off of you.

Ive been twice for a week at a time..for me it was a dreadful experience.. I did not sleep at all and was totally exhausted when I was finally released. A friend took me to Gulf Oaks, they put me on Lexapro the first day, they have an awesome staff and within 3 days I had improved, was released on day 5 given Rx with refills to take until I could get into a doctor..in summary Gulfport Behavioral Health employees do not seem qualified to treat mental illness successfully. I know many people whove been there, and like myself will not go thru it again. Thankfully we have some wonderful facilities in the area and therefore we have choices.

I had to put one star just to be able to post a review. My daughter is currently admitted here. Everyone has been friendly all day. But the nurses are rude. When they call you they are rude and when you ask questions they start getting all loud and have attitudes. What kind of friendly place is this supposed to be. If they dont like their jobs!! Fire them. Because I promise you If I find out they mistreat my child and is rude or hurtful to their feelings. They are getting reported. Actually the majority of the whole staff needs to be reported. I will never use this hospital again and I will never recommend it to anyone

to start off i have been there two times and all you do is just sit around and when you try to talk about your problems and how you feel with the counselors they dont listen they just sit there on their phones or try to give you medicine to "help" (something to make you fall asleep) anyways another thing is while i was there they wanted us to interact with each other and talk but yet they always kept us in our rooms also the staff are so rude they have an attitude about everything theres maybe 1-2 staff members that were actually nice at the time i would not recommend this place to anyone it did not help me at all
