I was discharged from the CSU yesterday, and I do not recommend coming here if you are truly having a mental health crisis. The ER at Palomar sent me here following voluntarily checking in due to a suicide plan. After 13hrs in the ER, which is a different story, I was brought here at 11pm, checked in, and told to go to sleep. They offer you a chair to sleep in, which was very uncomfortable, but at least they offer a place to sleep.After waking up, I saw an NP, who asked a few questions, such as how I slept, and what brought me in. I was in tears the whole time we spoke, and she said she’d come talk to me a little later. After two hours, she came back, we spoke again, again I was in tears, and even though I told her I wasn’t sure if I was ready to go home, she discharged me a few hours later.Before leaving, a tech made me an appointment with a “psychiatrist” at Vista Community Clinic for the next day, which is today. I googled him just now, before my appointment, and he actually made me an appointment with a urology specialist. I need my medications adjusted, I do not need a urologist.I didn’t get to talk to a therapist, no one helped me to find a therapist, no one did anything actually. You sit in a chair all day and watch tv. This is also supposed to be a low acuity unit, but there was a woman there who came from jail whom we all got to see try to breakout, have an attack, and they called security and then sedated her. Then we watched a young man with a mental disability do the same, start banging his head on the wall, and then they sedated him.This place is a waste of your money, of the county’s money, and insurances money. A real waste of time when you are in a crisis and need help. Especially in the state the world is in right now, Palomar needs to do better.

Theyre not good at helping with the mentally ill. The doctor chose to release my adult daughter despite my concerns. When they released her she had no phone, ID or money. Shes been missing for 2 days now.

I would really go zero Stars. I was there for less then a month and found a few staff snobbish . I said something out of context and they told me that cannot come any more more. I spoke to Michelle { I explained to her what happened , she told me she called me back. I waited for almost a week. I called back three times and she even refused to talk to me. } I have been to many outpatient programs , i think this is the worse outpatient program. Dont they understand that we have some form of mental diagnose and be compassionate and understanding . Good look to future patient. Avoid this program .

They expect all their patients to be high on medication if they want to get in even if they need them are dont your staff is incredibly snobbish and they take weeks to return calls if at all
