Mcfarland Specialty Center

"I went here a few years back in 2021 I believe. My first time ever being locked up somewhere. I was a scared kitten for sure. I was terrified you know you hear all the scary things about going to places like this. That they'll never let you out and stuff like that. I was there for 4 days. I had to be brought in for suicide risk. There i finally got the help and direction I needed. I enjoyed learning new ways about how to maintain my emotions. Today I am still a work in progress but I'm still alive and trying. Thanks to God for directing me to this facility so I could start this journey & now with continued help from the Lord and living His way I'm no longer depressed. Life is still hard but it no longer scares me the way it used to. Baby steps"

"Probably best not to send a family member here for psychiatric care. My family member went after an episode and there was zero psychiatric care. It was a location for covid positive patients, but all they seemed to care about was covid. Not mental health. No actual doctor ever spoke to my family member and they did not check up on them. I brought extra clothes and such for them and they only gave him one pair of underwear. Thanks for wasting my time.. Would have been better off not going there. Figure it out - are you a psychiatric facility or a damn covid facility?"

"I was there for several weeks last July and it was great. The staff and nurses were caring and helpful. I was in a miserable situation with my health and they did everything they could to make me feel better at all times. The PT was wonderful too. They helped me get strong enough to function again. And be confident in different situations. Thanks"

"On friday 9\15\2017 I talked to my daughters doctor and was told she was going to be realsed on saterday morning. She was told the same thing. After ariving there they refused to let her go.I see no reason for why these people think they can play these kind of games with peoples lives. Lies are lies. Dont go there if your are looking for help. What kind of help can you get if you can not trust them. They don care and only want to milk all they can from any one they can."
