Exodus Recovery at MLK

"Awful place. I was sent here against my will for the first time and it was traumatizing. Some of the staff were nice but others were snobby and loud. They make you stay in a large room that's divided by a wall for men and women section, the bathroom was unfortunately on the men's side so I had to walk through a area full of creepy men. The bathroom door doesn't lock and there was no toilet paper and it was a mess all the time. They don't have beds but instead make you sleep in very uncomfortable reclining chairs that don't stay back. They also make you wear nothing but a hospital gown and socks and the room is freezing cold at night but the staff doesn't care because they're all bundled up in their sweaters. All they do is make you watch tv and sleep. It took days for me to see the therapist and then it was only through a friggin' zoom call, completely impersonal and alienating. Never send your loved one here or go here yourself. They want to break you so they can have an excuse to send you into a psychiatric hospital and hold you there."

"An absolutely AWFUL place. Please don’t refer anyone here. There is no psychiatric help. The staff members are incredibly disrespectful and lack empathy. They make fun of the patients and chain them to beds and walls. If you do something they don’t like they deprive you of things like a shower or lotion. The food made me sick, literally. Really this is a holding facility and all they do is give you meds to make you go to sleep. It is the most anxiety inducing environment I’ve ever been in. This place really needs to be shut down. It’s horrible."

"If you talk to different people available at or around the facility. Get all kinds of different times they open. Was told over the phone they open @ 730am. I got the meds I needed. Even though I was there for 7 hours. So higher rating, than I would normally give in that situation."

"I was here a few years ago and they stole my phone. I came in with 2 phones but they said I only had 1. Stole other personal stuff of mine also. Never got any of my things back. No one knew anything"

"NEVER BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE.! I was admitted on April 3rd and discharged on the 7th. No mental health was offered in any way. I've had to witness sexual assault, abuse, neglect, theft of patient property, brutality, dehumanizing. All the guards are over weight and constantly eating food as they make fun of patients the staff is just the same. At night they are loud and disrespectful. The food heer is disgusting and made me sick, the little bit I was able to get down, even if it was food I normally liked, it all had the same odd taste. Iv witnessed young girls coming in hysterical, as they are groped by the escort. I was lucky enough to have an outside person bring in my cardiac and psych meds, but were only provided once during my time there. After discharge the next day I had noticed all of the narcotics were missing from my pill organizer, as if one of the staff helped themselves. Thank you Exodus for all the Recovery you provided me."
