Awful place. My son was assaulted my another member and they moved him to an adult area because they said were more comfortable moving my son vice the girl who inappropriately touched him in his private area. Oh and he tried calling 911 to report it and they took the phone away from him to prevent him from reporting it and then didnt tell us until we confronted them about it. Wonder if they would act the same if he were a girl?

One of the worst acute care facilities in a 200 mile area. I used to think Dominion was bad but it is like club med compared to this place. Under staffed and the ones that are there just don’t care. Ignore their patients and give them the bare minimum to collect their money. Doctors are inaccessible and judging by the facility they are working at must be incompetent. Very sad place and a danger to society.

They are very under staffed and they let everyone run wild. This place is best suited for behavior disorders not depression/ anxiety because they dont do anything. They didn’t tell me I was being released until my dad was on his way and they also changed my meds and didn’t give me a prescription for the outside

I'm 11 and I've spent 8 days at the adolescent unit of PIW for being dumb, bad kid. I thought I would be stuck with creepy "coo-coo" kids but the people there are actually very cool and chill if you don't get them angry. You shouldn't try to mess with them, they are there for a reason; being dangerous. Boys are not allowed in girls rooms, and girls are not allowed in boys rooms; typical rule. They check on you every 15 minutes, 24/7. The staff there is constantly changing. The average stay is 7 days. The more you fight, the longer you'll stay. There are multiple units; 2 adolescent units; one for the bad kids; the other for the worst kids. Adult patients are separated from the kids. People there are always starting fights, kind of like jail. They give injections ("booty juice") for a mental breakdown ("code lavender"). You can't go outside unless if you are 18+ years unless if they say so. They also have a homeless person unit. They have a gym and a cafeteria, nice large windows, nice soft beds, very clean, nice furniture, great food and great beverages. Got my first kiss there with Saiquan on Valentine's Day (awwww). They have games like Connect 4 or Uno, they have TV's. They have a "Quiet Room" where you punch a mattress to release anger. They have a "Group Room" to talk. Nurses always at the counter. Different staff. different rules. Great great great experience here. I would feel very comfortable coming back if I need any more help.

Very scary and unethical place. Proceed with caution. No child should be here and no one that is unable to advocate for themselves.
