Missouri Psychiatric Center

Worst place ever!!! My child got taken here 3 times and came back worse each time. I only took him there once the cops took him there twice. They game him the same meds and when he came back they didn't change the meds just increase the dose. Obviously they should have changed the meds. I tried to get my child transferred somewhere else and they refused to work with me. Then when I told them I didn't want my child medicated they try to tell me that they had the right to give him meds without my permission (which is against the law). They also have the children and teenagers together. NEVER again will I let my child end up there.

Doctors wouldn't see patients on weekends, my food orders/preferences were repeatedly mixed and messed up, nurses put me in a solitary room because I was crabwalking. This is not a place to go for treatment, it is jail for people who are dangerous, to themselves or others. They do not care if you are mentally ill and will do nothing to treat it. I was given hydroxyzine (Vistaril) without a prescription because I asked for it, despite the fact that there could have been any number of contraindications that the nurses didn't know about. Avoid this place at all costs, find treatment elsewhere for your own sake.

Seriously the WORST “healthcare” experience possible. My dog is treated better at the vet than I was here. I admit that I am depressed. I was feeling suicidal. I had a ton of reasons. But I never felt shame until this place. Being told things by staff such as “this is a place for useless crybabies”. I couldn’t believe it. And the food is horrible, they mess up your order and blame you (you know, because you’re a crazy), do unnecessary lab work, you name it. This place needs to be monitored or shut down. It’s sick what they do to people. And my roommate was a prisoner who’d beat up people before going to prison. Very comforting. It just shows how little they value the safety of their “patients”. I agree with the prison for ill people and 1950s comment below. It’s shameful how badly they treat people.

This facility puts prisoners with regular people, men with women, and practices 1950s style cruelty. By the time our family member was finally liberated from this place, everyone needed trauma counseling. The best part is that she didn’t even need to be there. A coworker used “I saw her trying to kill herself” as a way to get revenge and it took 4 days for us to get her out. They don’t respect autonomy. If you’re not crazy when you go in they will make damn sure you are when you leave. She’s never been the same and is having to go on disability now because of PTSD from her treatment there including being held down for blood draws. Anyone who says this is a nice place either didn’t actually stay behind the locked doors or has Stockholm syndrome.

1950s style cruelty with dirty toy furniture, crappy staff, and no help. Held me down and took my blood against my will. Was in there for depression. Thinking about suing them because my lawyer friend said that they can’t do that without police order or probable cause.
