Sanford Thief River Falls Behavioral Health Clinic 120 Labree Avenue South, Thief River Falls, MN 56701

"Hi there! Never do inpatient here if you're going voluntarily! Barstad, one of the only psychologists at this hospital, interrupted me during one on one time to tell me that my r*pe wasn't actually r*pe. He never let me explain the situation other than that it happened. He also belittled my problems that I shared during group time, implying that there were "too many" and that I needed to focus on the "important" one. I felt very unsafe in the place that I went to for healing, all of the staff were visibly mad at me for requesting to leave despite them knowing what happened. I have NEVER had an experience like this at any other place, even the inpatient hospitals that were more like jail. Never go willingly because you're bound to get mistreated."

"This place is the worst place ever I do not ever recommend getting here I have a friend who had a child put here and the poor child was treated like trash ply for 72 hours the mother was lied to and she couldn’t talk to her child and now the child’s mental health is worse then before the mother was told the child was given a blanket a pillow and things when she wasn’t"

"I'd give this place a zero if I could. My son is currently there against my wishes as I had asked mayo to find a more suitable placement for him. They had a legally vulnerable young adult sign himself in there and they were made aware of his addiction issues to sugar and video games and his pre-diabetic disposition and he was to have no candy, pop, sweets of that type. They gave him a bunch of Easter candy and shrugged it off despite the documentation AND violated our religious beliefs. Don't send your kids here."

"We came to visit a family member. We were early 6:15 PM visiting hours started at 6:30. I called the unit as instructed, and we were told it would be a few minutes. I completely ok with waiting for the posted hours. However, we waited in the entrance area. No seating, cold. Very unwelcoming."
