Riverbend Center

"They have a lot of new NICE staff that actually cares.. Tiffany is one of the nurses and she really cares and goes over and beyond. My son and I go there and are very pleased"

"Riverbend needs more counselors!!! I think its time the world realized counselors are very necessary and need to offer incentives and higher pay for such a career as this. Riverbend needs more variety in the doctors to include Holistic. Also Riverbend needs repair to their building. I don't know whom is in charge of hiring and fund allocating but it has to improve. They need to start the Talent Show back up. So much better could happen but the right ideas need to be in place and it's obvious everyone doesn't have the gift of creativity and pizazz to even make Riverbend better. New fresh ideas also need to be happening. More community outreach should happen. Hire qualified people and train better and also do some continuing education for those there now. Something has got to shake cause the bend don't need to break."

"I wish I knew of another mental health facility in Muscle Shoals. I've moved here, and it's difficult getting to Riverbend now, not to mention I hate this place anyways. I haven't met one staff member who acts as uf they care about their patients"

"I was gaslit for many years. Very very badly. And can’t even begin to tell you about the mistreatment and hostility I experienced. I was never a bad patient. Dr Scott and Dr Radford treated me horribly. I know it’s been over a decade since I was last a patient there but I will never forget. Bryan Libell was a joke too. I complained to him a couple times and to a social worker there too and nothing ever got done it just made things worse for me. The only people that were kind there were Manning Blair, Donna Grace, the lady who rescheduled my appointments and I think her last name may of been Sullivan, and the lady who set me up for my meds for a cheaper price at the pharmacy. They were the only reasons I was under treatment there for 6 years. Finally I’d had enough. I’d go into further detail but I’d be here typing for days. Also the lady who took my vitals was extremely hostile to me like I swear I thought she was gonna hit me or something every time. I was never a threat to any of them."

"This woman April is rude to me. She gets on to me and says you need to go to the other building. She yells at me and says get on the bus get out of here like I'm a dog or an animal. She was mean to me and everytime I go I try to avoid her because I have to go to Riverbend and avoid the staff?! This is not fair to me. They talk bad about people. I felt like I had been talked about me really bad. They give me dirty looks....I heard someone say don't give into to her like I was trying to use people. I felt like I wasn't welcome there. I have to come later to avoid April she is rude to me every time. I've told people they refuse to fire her or reprimand her. I can't go to day treatment."
