I gained knowledge and new copeing skills. The group I was in Sept 2017 at their. PHP group in George Town De.

I have attended Dover Behavioral Health a couple times and the experience has been far from helpful. As a note SOME if the staff truly care about the patients, most do not. The facility is run like a jail and not a center to help individuals with mental or substance abuse needs. I VOLUNTARILY admitted myself for depression and suicidal tendencies. I was originally put in the east wing where they handle mental issues. I was told before I entered they had room available. Instead, I spent a couple nights sleeping on a roll to bed in the TV room because they didn't have space to put me in a bedroom. I was then moved to the west wing because they didn't have room. The west wing is where they put people detoxing off of drugs and alcohol. The experience ended up making my depression worse. We were locked in a TV room all day where we had a staff person degrade us for half of the day and we watched a to TV the rest of the day. Other patients who wanted to talk couldn't go anywhere so they made so much noise in the TV room we couldn't hear it if we wanted to. I am a calm person usually but after 9 days of sitting in a room doing nothing but listen to idle chatter for most of the day, I finally snapped and almost ended up in solitary and doing more days. Not cool. Finally, I told the staff I was an adult and couldn't do a family session to get out. One of the outpatient staff talked to my mother, who I am staying with currently, and told her I should just be taken to a homeless shelter because I would just end up back in the hospital. To be it is a breach of confidentiality but I don't care at this point because I don't want anything to do with DBH. It has made my home life worse and my therapy has been set back by far. I will never deal with this place again. Please, if you love yourself or your family, send them somewhere else.

This was undoubtedly one of the worst experiences of my life. I'll admit, I was completely out of control. But I was just getting off a med that turned me into the worst person I've ever been in my life. The staff was so unbelievably easily offended, and they never hesitated in showing me they held a grudge. Day. After. Day. Unprofessionalism doesn't even begin to describe their treatment towards me. They were simply clueless in dealing with someone struggling with a mental health crisis. Dr. Shah was really the only one who dealt with me in a professional manner. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. If it was possible to give this place negative stars, I totally would. DO NOT GO HERE.

Their service is terrible, the food is DISGUSTING. Some of the staff are disrespectful. The overall experience was a nightmare.

It was terrible , MOST of the staff there were not even qualified to work in the facility and they would just let my room mate scream her head of because she was having a flash back like seriously aren't you supposed to help and the only thing we did was the same paper EVERY SINGLE DAY and stayed it the day too and watched the same movies over and over again. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE ITS PRISON nun of the staff even cares about anything . Worst place ever
