Some of the most unhelpful and rude staff imaginable. My girlfriend was sent here (wrongly, I might add) and has had the absolute worst experience. She has dietary restrictions which they refuse to meet, is unable to sleep due to constant noise and ruckus, and is being held there for no reason.This place is a scam and a prison. She hasnt eaten in three days, has barely slept, and is far worse off than when she arrived. I am livid and may pursue legal action after this unacceptable fiasco. What a joke.EDIT: They lied about getting her gluten-free food. Its been 36 hours and theyve given her fruit and a cup of lettuce. How pathetic.

This place is very disappointing and sadly, very dangerous. I work in healthcare in another state, and their administration, one “gentlemen” in particular reacted in the most hostile manner, when one of my family members had a bad experience with one of their employees. ( case manger) There is an ongoing case that involves endangerment of children and this case manager was unprofessional, further endangering the children involved in this case. When my family tried to report them, administrators degraded my family due to being unmarried, and then he ( the admin)asked them to never call again. They called her a derogatory term in french likened to the meaning of “whore” I have no words for the level of incompetence within this company. The only reason why I made this review is to warn others, because their lack of knowledge and respect for others will cause irreversible damage.

I attempted a long time ago and went willing and didn’t even want to stay i could hear people yelling in the ward where the admissions were I eventually just flat out said i was fine so I wouldn’t get put in there it sounds bad but trust me it was for my own health i opted to just go see a Psychiatrist instead and got diagnosed with depression and anxiety then was given medicine that eventually I just kinda gave up on because I just couldn’t force myself to take something i knew was just a temporary fix for a forever issue so maybe find elsewhere to get mental health care because this place isn’t it 😕

My husband was having a mental episode and was baker acted by police in lake county and taken here. Not 48 hours later he was released in a delusional psychotic state of mind. They did not give him his regular meds even tho I called and talked to a “recovery specialist “they gave him something he told them he had taken before and didn’t work for him...You cannot talk to a patients Dr treating them..at least I couldn’t.. and they made no attempt to contact his regular psychiatrist.His nurse tech even told me this is not the place for serious mental help..hell this is not the place for any kind of mental help obviously.

After 12min on hold with the office on 3rd street in leesburg fl. by brittany. Your hung up on. So frustrating... After 5min they could have come back on the line and said something or before just picking up the phone and placing on hold they could have maybe asked for the reason of your call. In my case all she had to do was transfer or give me the phone number to the pharmacy thats about 2ft from her desk.

Staff was very nice and the rooms in the back were very clean. Sitting in the waiting room had me kinda nervous because its a little dirty but once I got in the back it wasnt like that. Just wish their was more stuff to do while you were there. Lot of sitting around watching tv to pass the time.

My experience here was mostly bad. I was bakeracted after my miscarriage and the night staff were some of the most terrifying people I have ever met and I’m shocked they have their licenses still. I’m a travel nurse and understand the ropes of nursing. I witnessed a nurse pushing a patient away from the nurses station. (What happened to hands off facility? Thats abuse.) The night CNAs instigated fights with the patients yelling at them, calling them crazy, threatening to take their food away, refusing to check a blood pressure of someone feeling unwell, etc. it was traumatizing to see how some of these nurses and CNAs behaved. Treating people like roadkill. I stayed quiet and just observed. The day CNAs and nurse were heaven sent. They opened up a room for me to grieve and not be agitated. They checked on me often and sat with me when I needed them. There was one specifically from the children’s unit who came and talked with me for quite some time. Gosh I wish I remembered her name, but I will remember her face and spirit forever. She truly gave me hope and courage to fight my depression. Her along with nurse Amanda, and those day time CNAs who sought me out and talked me through the worst of it, I will cherish you all forever and use it as a reminder of compassion in my work. I can’t thank you enough.

I checked myself into the detox and it wasnt bad at all in there. Seeing some of these reviews had me worried. Staff was great. It was also very clean back there.

Do not go to this place. I was admitted to this facility 12 years ago, and I still suffer with PTSD from the way I was treated. They are abusive, and they seriously treat people worse than anything I have ever seen. Dr. Valente was the main doctor at the time, and he needs to have his medical license revoked. All the staff there need to be thrown in jail and treated the way they treat their patients. I pray karma serves all these people well.

I recently spent 3 days there. I honestly dont think this place helped me at all. Only thing they done was keep me doped up. The charge nurses were rude. The techs were more professional than the nurses. No therapy was given just pills to keep the patients calm.

I am truly grateful for LifeSteam. They cared for me when my own family was the ones to hurt me. Thank you LifeStream. 💕👸🇺🇸🦋❤️

Wonderful employer, great benefits, even better coworkers!

If you need help this one but you one that is a hospital to help you not to serve but of the help I gotten in others is one thing treat patients with respect and get help

I was backeracted once there and went once willingly and I was treated like I was scum. No care, no empathy and no kindness. They want to keep you sick. They want you to get worse. Dont go there.

I do not recommend taking someone or admitting yourself to this place. I admitted myself to Leesburgs Lifestream a few months ago because I am suicidal and bipolar. I did enjoy some of the staff and volunteers that were quite lovely people but the facility overall was horrible. They dont treat a lot of the patients there with compassion and respect. Which Id say working with someone elses mind its very important to have that compassion and respect. They dont really work with you on a personal level at all. Atleast for me I didnt get any therapy there. They had just put me on the wrong meds that had bad reactions with each other. I was in co-ed and another patient had reached in my pocket to touch me inappropriately. Which the staff knew he was like that because there had been other incidents beforehand. They still had him in co-ed near girls rooms which they keep the doors unlocked and ajar all night. Thankfully, they did move him after the incident with me because I had a intense panic attack. Then the next morning was a fire drill in which a Staff member Jose had woken my roommate and I by screaming at us. He proceeded to grab my bed violently throwing me with it to the side where I almost fell on the floor yelling directly at me. When I had just been confused on what was going on which my roommate also was too. I had a panic attack all over again all through out the fire drill because it triggered PTSD and I was hurting myself in the bathroom. They still ended up releasing me early even after all of that.

Dr. Correa has been a GOD SEND! Ive been seeing him & Sheryl for close to 3 years now. Dr. Correa has helped me in ways I couldnt ever tell or reciprocate to him. Im FOREVER grateful I lucked out with such amazing humans Lifestream has blessed me with. We have a bond where I dont have to filter what I say. Thank you for never letting me down & helping me all these years❤. If you read this Dr. Correa, know I appreciate all of our appointments & everything you do to understand me.

I started seeing Doctor Dada in September 2020. I have Complex PTSD and depression. The staff is always courteous on the phone and the Doctor goes above and beyond to help me live my best life.

Unfortunately the staff at this facility that is suppose to help individuals are absolutely horrible! They did not know what was going on! They didnt even listen when my friend stated his medicine was not working! Needs to be addressed!!!

This facility an alll the others in fl brake the law by misdiagnosing their patients an assaulting them . They dont care about anything you might be allergic to . They claim magic is not real in the world . They abuse patients in alll forms . Especially if u practice magic

Lifestream and the fact team have been there for my son and I through a lot of rough times. I owe them for helping my son with independent living. I so appreciate having them a available for my sons needs. They have went through alot with him and they still take better care of his needs. I cannot thank them enough for the work they do. HUGE THANK YOU TO THE CASEWORKERS, THE FACT TEAM, THE NURSES, and the ones always willing to help help with getting me to somebody during crisis situations. You are truly angels for the mentally ill ❤️.

I am concerned that this facility is considered a program that is specific for mental health needs. I know firsthand. Because I took a sleeping pill that my body could not handle, I was taken to the emergency room and then was baker-acted. I spent the night in the hospital being watched, then from hospital via Televiewers by a psychologist that evaluated my fate in 3 minutes started the process to a very unprofessional, scary place. I was then threatened at admission that if I act out beware of the consequences. I was then locked up in a room with the bathroom that I could not access unless you get permission. All through the night, every half hour someone looked in the room to see if I was alright. No communication from that person, I lay on a rock hard platform in a very dark moldy room. That was the pleasant part. Then I was prescribed medication, for three days, I sat on a room with others watching Forensic Science. No therapy programs run by professional people in this field. I see nothing wrong with talking to someone that is experienced and professional with mental health credentials. No one there has any credentials. I was locked upBehind doors where I could not get it out. Call this a mental health facility. I wouldn’t send any animal here. It has been almost 3 years and I am still affected by this horrific experience!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The staff is not qualified to handle the clients they serve and do not show them compassion. In addition they do not have mental health therapists and regular group sessions. They act as if they don’t have the time to help you with small things and their discharge protocol is a joke. You also get relatively no sleep at night and the food is terrible. When I was was discharged their paperwork was not thorough and the psychiatrist missed my follow up appointment! I was also not prescribed any medicine when I left which I really needed. My family is filling a grievance against this facility so no one has to suffer from the same pain they caused me- they basically made my situation worse.

Hello I am still here! I really wish staff here would take a huge step foward and Thank Beverly Hills Lifestream.They have shown compassion! I still will hold those accountable to the same flame I am held to.As I wrote before from my other compromised account,( Had many many many data breaches since then!) Its been a uphill battle to remain calm,cool and collect.One thing I have noticed though, is this. We are in a struggle between pharmaceuticals and natural homeopathic remedies.Every dollar that is lobbied for synthetic pharmaceutics causes the American Dream to fall apart. We are vicariously watching our nation fall apart within a drug war. Id rather be part of the common good for the people and by the people.Rather then live in a augmented reality based upon a status quo that I want no part of.Regardless of our diffrent backgrounds , religious affiliation, etc. We all have one common bond, Family.Once I adapt and overcome my ability to trust again, I realize this one key note.....Compassion, accountability and the law of attraction would be a good foundation to build a Family on. We should focus on our dreams rather then stressful litigationAs we move forward, I like to say that Beverley Hills has been fascinating, yet we are not Medical experiments. We are human , just like yourself.In closing, I wish you well, find your center and thank you for all you have done. I am feeling accomplished.Increase funding for the overworked

The worse place my sister has ever been taken to ... She was baker acted they had her less than 48 hrs and sent her home ... I live w her because she was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and has had 4 yrs of manic episodes ... She is currently on one since Aug 10 and is showing no signs of improvement after 2 stays in a behavioral mental health facility... No one here bothered to contact the family to ask our concerns, they sent her home at almost 1 pm w no meds and the ride home was a nightmare .... DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY HERE ... THE VINES ARENT ANY BETTER BUT AT LEAST THEY WERENT MANIPULATED BY A PERSON W SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

This place is made up of rude uncaring people. They dont have your best interest in heart. They need to be closed down asap

Been going here for about a year now. Dr.Couts treated my OCD and depression. I have my life back. I can sleep and eat and work. Dont have those racing thoughts of death. Always keeps her schedule appointment

I would give it 0 stars if I could. The patients werent given masks or asked to stay 6ft away. There were ants in the food and it took a patient pointing it out to have it removed. One person was screaming about pizza and other things and the nurses just yelled at him to shut up. My meds were given to me 2 hours earlier than they were supposed to and I felt sedated. Honestly felt like a jail and if they really cared about the patients, theyd clean up their act. (Im writing this under an pseudonym.)

This place doesnt care about the well being of people, they dont want to truly help people, Im not even sure why they are here!! Terrible place!! Do not recommend anyone to go here for help, you wont get it!!Only posted one star because I had to in order to post this review that needs to be read!

I have repeatedly tried to take my addicted sibling to this place. They will say they have a bed open and we will start to do the 3-hour drive to get there. And when we call when we are almost there they no longer have a bed because they transferred people from another facility in citrus county to this location.Why is it so hard to get drug addicted people the help they need. When every place is supposedly full or wont even tell you over the phone if they even have a bed in the first place, and insist you make the many hour long drive to come there just to find out.

I was sent here years ago, and I still have nightmares about it. I dont fully remember the details of my stay- thank god- but I remember one patient being silenced when just trying to help out another, being forced to do a stack of work half the size of my forearm in one sitting, and hearing rumors that, in response to someone wetting the bed, a staff member pushed the offenders face into it. I would rather die than ever go back here again.

I was just released from this facility and this is the worst place Ive ever been to. They treat the patients like animals I simply asked to use the bathroom and was ignored by staff for over an hour all you do is sit in a room all day the food is something you would be served in jail they make fun of the patients constantly and refuse to listen to the patients basic needs there is no compassion simply a paycheck to the staff.

Does anyone at this location know anything about helping ppl in need?? Active addicts try to get help and what happens when someone calls for help. They get turned away and told that they have no clue when or where another NA meeting is... Please call back later. Are yall serious, its no wonder ppl have such a hard time getting sober and receiving the help they need. Im really disappointed!

HORRIBLEEEEEEEEE! They’re supposed to help you but NO ONE DOES THEIR JOB. They ALL LIE. THIA PLACE NEEDS TO BE SUED AND SHUT DOWN

They killed my son. Complete lack of following directives by the back up staff. Caught filling in medical checks. 15 min. checks and my son was hanging for three hours. There is a special place in hell for the staff that that was being paid to watch my suicidal, schizophrenic, son. I called 12x and no one answered.

Abuse the 911 system and send people to hospital for things like a Covid test, pregnancy test, alcohol levels too high, ect. Basically they find a reason to send you to the hospital so its one less person to take care of.

I heard a male voice shouting, all the way from the waiting room. I believed it to be a patient, for never in my wildest dreams could I imagine such unprofessional behavior from the doctor. Yet when the door opened, a woman left, in tears, the doctor practically shoving her out. You would think that, given that we are paying hundreds of dollars, the doctor might temper his rage a little bit. You would think that someone with rage issues would not be in this profession.

I would give zero stars if I could, theres nothing good about this place. The staff is ill qualified, theyre understaffed, and over worked. Managers literally walk around in front of patients, asking staff to work doubles because theyre so understaffed. The staff is obviously miserable and do not care about the patients. I have been here on more than one occasion, and the staff literally just babysits you while you watch tv all day. If youre lucky, theyll read a hand out about healthy coping mechanisms (just do yoga!) for two minutes, the only counseling youll get during your mandatory 72 hour hold. If you show any frustration at all at the lack of compassion or professionalism, theyll tell the doctor youre out of control and youll be stuck for at least another full day. You are literally not allowed to show any emotion, and if you do, theyll try to give you a benadryl to calm you down. Once in a while youll play bingo, with markers because youre not allowed to have crayons or pencils or anything that could be remotely sharp. They treat you like animals, and Ive never seen a more inhumane facility in my life. They give you nutrition packets about the importance of good health, and feed you literally the SAME unidentifiable SLOP for three days in a row with different names. I imagine this is on the level of jail food, and if you dont believe me, ask the staff if they would ever eat it themselves. The answer is no. I believe this is a privately owned facility, for profit so they cut corners any way they can and they are in no way at all concerned with the health or well being of their patients. 0/10 would not recommend to my worst enemy.

In response to Michael Ross. Not all people that go to LifeStream are there for addiction. My husband has severe anxiety and depression and thats why he went there 3 years ago and was treated very badly. So maybe do your research before commenting on something you know absolutely nothing about moron.

This facility is abusing it’s patients and holding them to feel like they cannot leave unless you take the medications forced down your throat. Absolutely traumatic stay here and it should be shut down immediately.

I personally was there for 72hrs and not day went by that I didnt needed to fight for the things I needed. I had to practically argue with the staff to be able to get a hygiene kit and for a shower. Staff are very rude and careless. Anytime a patient had an issue or could not fend for themselves the staff would laugh and make fun of them. Psychiatrist And doctors were never around when you requested them. They only saw you once and that was it. Techs and nurses always covered there badges up and gave fake names to the patients. The facility alone was not even taken care of properly. Patient bathrooms had mold on the tile floor and showers had rust and mold as well. I would never recommend this place to anyone who wants to be helped properly. You’re better off seeing a professional therapist than staying in this facility because all this place makes you feel is more depressed and a prisoner. This place sincerely needs to shut down.

Felt more like a minimum-security jail than a hospital. SOME of the staff were incredible people, others should NEVER be allowed in such a place. They seem to view the patients as an inconvenience rather than the patients they are. One of the better counselors told another that these are PATIENTS not INMATES, but was largely ignored. Those that come in voluntarily are treated far better than those who were Baker-Acted and are there for immediate problems. One counselor will ask you a question then interrupt your answer, interjecting hos own opinion as if you are a fool with the intelligence of a soap dish. Some way to encourage participation, eh? Avoid this place at all costs, if you are able. If not, be prepared to be treated like a liability rather than a patient in need of aid.

Awful place. Pretty much like jail. The doctors there arent even good just ask you how you are and they let you go and for just that I got charged a lot. I hope this place goes down soon.

It was a life-saving place. Anyone unhappy with Life Stream obviously wanted to use while in or is using now. The staff is very helpful and encouraging. If you are in a dark place with drinking or using, check yourself in.

Dr. Correa and Jamie are amazing helped me and my family through alot!! Great place to get help, total life changer!!

The resident Psychologist was just looking to prescribe me drugs. Didnt feel listened to. The employees dont answer the phone. I called over and over and was told by the receptionist and the secretary that they dont have a working phone to receive calls from. WTH? The hourly appointments were less than 15 minutes. The Dr would leave messages insisting that I come in hours before scheduled & would be terse with me when I didnt receive the message. (In class) My BFF had just died horribly & I needed to talk to someone. Was never asked anything about myself or why I felt I needed mental help and was put on Adderall, but no one checked to see how I was doing. My BP went up so high Im lucky to have had a regular appointment with my GP who immediately weaned me off the drug. How anyone gets better, I dont know.me off of it. Find somewhere else to go. I would rather perish than ever speak to anyone in that office again.

Not nice

I was admitted for a short time for a Baker Act concern....As a NASA engineer from Virginia.. I can say the staff were courteous, attentive and quick to answer questions and concerns....as with most hospitals, they appear to be somewhat understaffed...the doctors were able to assess the situation quickly and immediately facilitate discharge....Psych hospitals are inherently set up a bit different than regular hospitals....remember.... the staff are human like everyone else and have ups and downs like everyone else... they have to put their own lives on hold each shift to deal with yours..... work with them and they will work with you...respect them as they are good folks..... I found their advice extremely helpful

Turns out it was a doctor who told my daughter and mother that CBD causes brain damage. This place already has 1.6 stars out of over 50 reviews. I can’t believe my mom took my daughter here. I wouldn’t eat here if it was a restaurant. This center needs to be held accountable for what they are doing to children. The only people leaving good reviews are fake or professionals.

Saved my life, Dr Correa is awesome! I had a very good experience with their detox ...I am rebuilding my life now thanks to Dr Correa ,Jamie,and Lifestreams.Dr. C.is practical ,and a very genuine and wise councilor .Suboxone is a miracle when used properly....4 months clean !! I only wish Id have known about this option and this doctor years ago. Simply put, Doc. and his asst. Jamie have helped me more than they know.

My husband was taken here after he voluntarily asked for help at the emergency room. All they did was dope him up sit him in a chair for 4 days and absolutely no therapy what so ever. And to top it off they lost his clothes.

Can anyone help me is this place open 24 7 for people in need of detox?

Staff kept us all night. They verbally abused patients. One of the staff members actually tried to kick a patient who liked to follow her around. They stuck us in a room my entire stay to watch Lifetime movies one of which demonstrated young girls choking themselves to the point of unconsciousness. Not something mental health patients need to see.

My addiction story is no different than most addicts, It started with prescribed pain medication and rapidly grew out of control (herion , Methamphetamines, cocaine etc.) Over the years , I tried many different treatment centers in and around Ocala and leesburg , not one of these places come close to the care Dr. Correa and his staff at Lifestream provide. He has over 17 years of experience in addiction treatment.( many other addiction doctors do not SPECIALIZE in addiction , like Dr.Correa )If you are an addict REALLY wanting to change your ways for good , Lifestream is the best place to be. I have only been with Dr.Correa for about 6 months , and my whole outlook on life has changed. I was on the verge of losing everything . I am now in the process of buying my first home! I would not be where I am now , if it weren’t for Dr.Correa.Respect , understanding , empathy, and SUPPORT are just a few of the MANY qualities that set Dr.Correa and his staff at Lifestream apart from ALL the other treatment centers in Central Florida.“ The GOOD physician treats the DISEASE ; the GREAT physician treats the PATIENT with the DISEASE.”

They had no stars or i would have used it but this place is using people using more power then they have to baker act people to give them meds to keep them in the facility longer to get more money from the government to funds this sad place. the news needs to investigate this place real hard. lots of crooked things going on here. i am not a patient and i was treated very rude by the staff and if it wasnt for getting into trouble i would have knock the woman head off that is how rude she treated me.

There detox is a joke. Wont give you but the bare minimum. Pretty much like cold turkey. And most of the staff act like Correctional officers.

This place makes people wait in the intake area for over 9 hours. That is unacceptable!!! You can’t walk outside to smoke or you have to give up your spot in line.

The staff is extremely over worked and they treat covid 19 like a joke.

If I could leave no stars I would.. Walked in for help for my 10 year old.. She clearly needs help and the system is failing her.. The intake people have to call the doctor whom says she does not meet criteria. WHAT I am flabbergasted on what needs to happen.. Apparently you need to be drunk or high on something to get help.. Because yes your children sit in a waiting room with every drunk that the police want to bring in. These doctors are clueless. I will make sure that every state representative that I can get a hold of knows that this place should receive no more funding. It is crazy to me that this is the second time we have been and told we can call the police or take her to the hospital to have her brought in because then they have to keep her for 72 hours. I am a parent trying to get my child help because she needs it because she is miserable. I have lost all faith in the mental health care system and I hope that every doctor that turns these kids away ask God for forgiveness.

Lack of communication, thorough treatment, and professionalism...Its obvious that the staff hates being there. More importantly, my son has been there 3 times and feels like its torture there.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Correa for about 6 months. My experience has been great. One of the things I like most about our doctor-client relationship is the respect; he doesn’t talk down to me like I’m an addict which that alone makes me feel very accepted, he’s not afraid to tell you if you’re getting off course, and he also makes sure you know that he sees and respects all your hard work. He doesn’t just hand a prescription and send you on your way like many other doctors. Dr Correa truly cares about his patients and the wellbeing of his community. This is the kind of Dr I want on my side. I’m so fortunate to have been accepted into the MAT program and so lucky to have such an awesome Dr.If you’re someone who really wants to live in recovery, if you’re someone who is ready to be completely honest and respected as a person and not judged as an addict, than this is the place and the Dr to see.

These place has the worse services , they never respond back your phone calls, they need to close down this place, lack of service, lack of responsability to patients, is like they work there just for the check but they dont care about patients.

Yesterday I was verbally assaulted by the Centers top psychiatrist because I asked a question regarding a scheduled appointment I had with him and my request to reschedule the appointment. When I called and spoke with his nurse to ask if he was going to call, etc., she was very short with me and was very condescending in her response. Ive been a patient of this doctor for years and have never been treated the way I was yesterday.

This place is a joke i took someone there to get help, and the intake person named Lori was rude as could be, wasnt even listening to what the problem was! This place should be shut down because clearly yall arent helping the ones who need it

Was there for a week and a half. they changed my meds without telling me, forcing me to quit cold turkey and gave me a high dose of lithium and another drug that made me sleep almost the entire time i was there. they tried to give me another patients medication once, and tried to give me an insulin shot that was not mine, both after asking my name and confirming i was the wrong patient. while i was there i ate about 5 meals total, because i was asleep the majority of the time. they would not let my family bring me clean clothes, saw a doctor once for about 2 minutes, never saw a therapist but we played trivia bingo almost every day as group therapy

This place should be shut down .i went to school here and they beat on you and even break bones and the state and lake county sheriffs backs them up they put your kids on drugs to calm them or boost them sometimes even give them both upers and downers at the same time... You dont learn anything that you should like grammar or math or anything good.you learn to fight for your life thats it.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They dont do anything there to help people that are asking for help. Ive seen staff verbally abuse patients and refuse patients treatment. All they do is collect state grants and abuse the local EMS/Fire systems. I wouldnt send Charles Manson to Life Stream. Hope they close this place down sooner rather than later. Not only is the staff incompetent, they were probably patients in the past.

Im never going to speak for myself ever again. Not in school or voluntary. Being forced to go here and pay a fee that is undeserved. All i can give credit for is pills and giving me food. I only saw the doctor twice and I seen people going psycho that was not controlled at all. This place needs to be shut downed. From now on if I have suicidal thoughts or days where I feel worthless Ill go see a therapist or something better than this hospital.

After being there for 5 days...I felt like I was right in the middle of the movie...:One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. No clean sheets, towels, no trash cans or places to put trash....patients not given baths. Beds as hard as a rock, food not fit to eat... Late at night when the patients were doped up in their beds...the staff would have loud dancing parties as evidenced by the constant surveillance cameras. definitely plan to follow up on this.

This place is pure evil and should not be in existence. No one gets better by going here. This is a Baker Act facility. They do not care about the patient’s wellbeing at all. There is no exercise, no stimulation, not even immediate access to a bathroom or clean water, no nutritional meals - just grey gruel. They keep all the patients drugged up like zombies. It is literally One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest incarnate. We had an absolutely horrible and traumatic experience, and my husband now has PTSD from being in this place. We were already in a vulnerable situation and they made it so much worse. Do not send your loved one here. It’s a living nightmare and needs to be shut down immediately.

Worse thing I ever did. This place needs to be shut down asap. That was not help to anyone in there. It was more like a jail. Patients fighting with staff. I saw a nurse get punched in the face. Patients fighting with patients. I saw one patient brake another patients arm. Nothing was ever done.I checked myself in so I could have checked myself out at anytime. But no one....on one would get my phone numbers for me or look in my records for my emergency contact.I spoke with Dr Darr for all of 10 mins. He had the nerve to tell me since I never told anyone that I was raped by my brother that it was consent. Consent really......what kind is doctor tells you that.If I could......I would shut that place down today. Sitting around all day with absolutely nothing to do or anyone to talk to is no help. And because of what I went through there....it has put me in a deeper depression.SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS PLACE.

Incompetent to the point of unethical treatment. This place is filled with apathetic and unqualified personnel who could care less about humane treatment or treatment. I spent 3 days awake and in pain and they ignored the diagnosis and medication given to me by actual doctors. this is a house of torture, nothing more.

I was summited here in August of 2017. And it was hell. I had some benefits like being able to stay in my room and sleep. But besides that I saw the Doctor only twice. The second time was to get out of that hell hole. I hated how some people got out within a day while I had to stay 72 hours when the other people submitted had to stay a day. They could probs have the same issue as I did.. And was let out before me. That makes no sense. Then there was this lady who was abused there. Because she freaked out so they grabbed her arm and made a horrible bruise. Sure she was crazy but that was just unexplainable. They took her bed too! Though their beds were rock hard.there was little difference to sleeping on the floor. It was awful. The nurses were rude and one said, You think I want to be here blah blah . I get it. You dont want to be here. .but you dont have to be a jerk and put me down and everyone else. Just because you arent home.. If you hate the job so much quit. Dont put your consumers down like they say .. Not patients. Consumers. This place is more. Like a jail then a place that helps. But the Lord was with me, the whole time. Just like He was with Joseph.

This place is the most unorganized place I have ever seen. The reception area is staffed by incompetent teenage morons who cant find anything , and dont know anything.While there, they lost my sisters file. She told them she was a diabetic but in a 4 day stay, she claims no one ever checked her sugar or gave her her insulin.

I recommended LifeStream to my sister because of the good care I have been receiving at the Clermont outpatient facility. But the hospital is a terrible place to think you are going to receive the much needed help. It was described as being in jail or seeing a bad movie connected to mental health.

My experience was through my husband being admitted in seek of help with depression. Neither myself or my husband feel that her received help in any way. Upon discharge my husband was given his medications in return except for his Clonazepam ( a bottle of approx 180 pills ). Never did I expect that a medical facility would steal from a patient and then attempt to cover up the crime. Beware of trusting this facility including the administrative staff,

I would give this place no stars if I could. Completely unprofessional. Staff talks about confidential patient information where everyone can hear in the lobby. I heard yelling and screaming from one of the staff members out in the lobby. Just sad.

Im not really sure where all these negative reviews are coming from because I left this place today and have NOTHING but positive things to say about the detox (arf) section from start to finish. I was interviewed and evaluated in the time frame I was told on the phone, saw the Dr the next day, and given proper meds for my withdrawal symptoms. In fact I was given a choice of MAT medications (methadone, suboxone and vivatrol). I was given an aftercare plan that I am more than happy with. I wasnt too pleasant the first couple days but I was still treated with respect. Thank you to the nurses and techs who put with me AND were there 24/7 for anything I needed. Any questions ?

Not sure for everyone but Lifestream saved my life, These deal with severly mentall Ill people. I was there and a patient had a break down for 7 hours. They professional secluded the patient and allowed him the space he needed. These people care dearly for what they do.

I saw Dr Dada (a psychiatrist) here. Hes an excellent doctor, but Lifestream stopped prescribing ANY AND ALL BENZOS a few months ago, so this review is more about them than Dr Dada (who is a great physician, kinda)..I have been on klonopin for several years for myoclonus caused by a brain injury.Anyway, one day I go into see my shrink and he tells me that ALL OF LIFESTREAM HAS STOPPED PRESCRIBING ALL BENZOS!!!!!Im like, excuse me? Whos heard of a doctors office no longer prescribing drugs that actually help!!!!!!!!!!He gave me one months worth of my medication and a letter explaining the situation.FORTUNATELY my pain management doctor agreed to take over my Rx.Dr Dada did not even once discuss tapering me off the drug. They just one day decided no more benzos for anybody and thats that.Incredibly unprofessional, and dangerous!!!!!

Do not rely on Lifestreams to help to get your family members any serious help. They tell you to call the police to BakerAct. The police tell you to call Lifestreams. They all pass the buck,anddo nothing.

I spent over 3 hours on a couch that smelt like pee crying and telling staff I did not want to be alive. I let them know there was pee on the bathroom floor and hours later they still hadnt cleaned it all.I finally got called back to sign hippa paperwork and politely asked how much longer. Staff member was so rude and literally told me 4 to 6 more hours or I could get my stuff and get out.Obviously not somewhere I was not comfortable staying so they put me on the streets with no money, no car, at 9pm. The statistics of a woman my age being assaulted were outstanding. This place is disgusting and they do not care about their patients. Central Florida Behavioral by Seaworld is 100x better. Please do not force a loved one to stay here.

As someone who works in Social Work and Suicide Prevention (and someone who works on a SP grant in partnership with LifeStream), I had a really terrible time at this facility.My bad experience included: waiting 8 weeks to be seen, a misdiagnosis, 3 new scripts for meds I had never tried before, no detail in treatment plan for pairing meds with therapy, and upon asking for therapy appt-was told Id have to call another time to schedule.The pros: my vitals were taken by Kia -- shes great!, the front desk receptionist--although very busy, handled everything okay despite the poor treatment she received from clients.Im lucky that I know a bad match for treatment from a good match and am able to find alternatives. Ive since sought a second and 3rd opinion and will most likely never step foot in a LifeStream facility (unless its for a work meeting).

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE ! IM PROMISE YOU DO NOT GO THERE FOR DETOX! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANYBODY AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY LIE TO YOU AND THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! They dont even deserve 1 star.

Worst mental health care facility ever. No treatment or groups. More of a jail. Staff verbally abusive. I was not given any of my psychiatric medication except trazodone and was manic when I was discharged. Horrible place. Needs to be shut down.

MY NAME IS LILIAN I have been submitted into Lifestream on and off for about 5 years now (2012-2015). Ive been getting better over time with other help. However, my past visits to this facility have been awful! I have countless stories of improper conduct ranging from staff to the general building. The workers, I cant even say have any experience in nursing, often like toying with their patients. Theyve always been disrespectful to the patients, treating us like prisoners and animals. A nurse has even laid their hands on a younger teenage patient for misbehaving. They dont really try to help the patients there, as they dont give them the resources they need such as underwear, as Im aware some items are prohibited in mental care facilities. With patients in crisis, the police who bring patients to the facility often use violent procedures to get them in, while the nurses just watch. In another instance, they gave me a bucket to induce vomiting, that had previous brown stains, to this day I dont know if it was fecal matter or dried up blood from a previous user. The blankets in this place have holes and seem very old during the cold insulated nights. Each day they do lock the bathrooms, and one time when I asked to go, I was refused to use the bathroom by a nurse, and often patients are known for having unsanitary conditions of using the bathroom in the room or bed because of this. The nurses are known for taunting patients when they do a mishap. The facility does not have a lot of rooms, and often patients have to share rooms if it is full, and when a patient complains, they have the option to sleep in the hallway. I was humiliated and abused in lifestream, the nurses once again, would touch me and hit me while I was in a panic state. When I did manage to complain, the police would have arrived to my house, after Ive been dismissed months later, and nothing had been fixed about it. The actual professionals in this place do help when they can, but even than, the workers just prescribe you medicine that they dont even know what theyre doing. Youre a test subject at this point. The medicine damages your brain and body to some degrees and you wont even notice it because you think its gonna help you. If you speak up to the staff, in one instance they will give you multiple injections to put you to sleep, and quiet down. Dr. Goya, a trained professional, gave me injections for disagreeing about not wanting treatment from her, She did not clearly speak english at the time. The staff cant control the out of control patients. In another accident, a patient clearly not in the right state of mind, had walked up to me and starting to touch specific body parts of mine, and once again, the staff did nothing but give me another injection. The cafeteria conditions were terrible, you could see unsanitary conditions in any room.THIS PLACE IS HORROR MOVIE IN REALITY

Brought an 18 year old addict for detox based on a referral from 211 emergency line. Exclaimed the situation when we called the day before, as well as the fact that the prospective patient had been using THC wax and cocaine. They said no problem, just come for assessment and intake for detox. Get there, after driving for 45 minutes and have an addict who is ready to be helped. She was NEVER seen by their mythical physician - only the screening nurses. They took the same background, with even more extensive details, outlining a history of self medicating, self harm and underlying psychological issues, then proceed to turn the addict away. They are so untrained that they advised the addict IN MY PRESENCE who is so desperately in need of help and had nowhere else to turn that there are NO side effects or concerns associated with detoxing from either THC wax or cocaine, and that this can easily be done at home and does not need professional help. They said that they only use medications for detox, and that there are no medications to assist with this form of detox, therefore they have no policy to deal with these non-habit-forming drugs. In other words, consistent with what I now see on several other reviews here, they only pump people (who are trying to detox) full of drugs, and have no apparent training in anything else.How can this place even legally be allowed to operate? Are there no laws in place to ensure that when an addict presents begging for detox, that they must never EVER be turned away? I asked them how the Hell they can turn her away with claims that she is not addicted to anything serious? They were unprofessional to the point that they undermined the seriousness and consequences of THC wax and cocaine to an addict. Dangerously unprofessional, and has to be illegal. I told them that by them turning this addict away, if she gets even more hooked via other gateway drugs and ends up killing herself on meth or opiods her blood will be on their hands. The lady then advised that if she does get hooked on those other serious drugs (which cocaine and thc wax are not) then we could come back for help then.Demanded to know the name of the doctor who turned an addict away without even examining her, and the lady told me repeatedly that they are Lifestream Behavioral Center (as if I didnt know where I was), and when I demanded again to know the name of the doctor who turned the patient away, she only told me that their lead doctor is Dr Valente. Shame on everyone involved with a medical facility with so-called trained staff who show ABSOLUTE DISREGARD for the life of an addict who has found the strength to finally take that first step towards help.SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!

This place is terrible. I only give it one star for the friends I made. The group therapy dont talk about anything relevant the food was okay. Big conspiracy that they drug the water because there were flakes in it. This place is just not okay. And shouldnt be allowed in society.

Staff is great the saved my life.

I would also leave no stars if I could. Absolutely the worst. These people get paid to NOTHING!! My father spent 4 days there and we picked him up near death, He was completely ignored and his clothes were stollen. The staff could care less, they just collect a paycheck.Do not under any circumstances go near that place!

On November 10, my daughter was Baker acted after being given Invega which caused her to become delusional. On November 12 they called and told me she was incompetent. On November 13th, they released her and she was still delusional and couldnt even walk up the steps. Very incompetent !

I was admitted here and it was the worst of my life. The beat and abused me. I was on phone restriction my entire stay there. The doctor barely spoke to me and diagnosed me with a mental disorder. (I have no history of ever having an mental illness) The staff provoked me and laughed at me. They prescribed medication that altered my brain causing me to have hallucinations and suicidal idéations. I was a test dummy for them. I remember all the abuse that happened to me at that facility. I am in the process of suing them for negligence. Please someone closed down that facility and don’t take your family member there. They treat the patients so wrong in there and what makes it worse is that they lie to your family members. I am just now detoxing off the medication prescribed. I advise anyone to stay far away from there. That place is WORSE than jail.

I was in the child psych ward for 4 days. by far the worst hospital ive ever been admitted to. head of nurses shouted at the patients and refused to listen to anything i said. staff was disrespectful, not properly trained, and verbally abusive

I didn’t like it. It felt very dirty and unsanitary and I felt like I was staying in an abandoned place. Also they wouldn’t give me my adhd medicine so I actually did almost go insane twice there.

The worst experience

Im certain this facilities practices are illegal. I dont know how they havent been shut down by now.

Horrible place they will give you benedrill to detox from heroin and the man nurses look like they are from prison...

Very unhappy with the way they treat the parents,was told I could call anytime but no answer. This place is a disgrace

This is a joke and a waste of taxpayer dollars! This is every horror movie nightmare in reality!

It is gross, the stuff do not care, and if your open about being anything but Christian well they make fun of you.

For what it is it deserves three stars most hospitals will throw you out the day you admit your self
