Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital — Local services in Las Vegas

This place should be shut down. It is a hell hole.

They have a court system there in which Drs. lie about your progress to the judge and also lie about your state of well being so they can force everyone to take psychiatric medication to be able to leave this place. The judge never sides with patients who choose to remain unmedicated during their stays regardless of any type of psychological evaluations given or how cooperative you are with the program. Once the judge declares that you MUST take psychiatric medication, then they give you paperwork for you to be able to pick which one you can take if it falls into the category in which your diagnosis falls into. If you do not pick one, then a gang of staff members violenty force you with an injectible version of their own choice of medication instead.

The staff there threatens to physically abuse patients. I have seen a patient get pushed around but he was frightened just enough to eventually comply and was not hit by any force of the threats that he was given by the staff.

The food there was set up so you only have bowel movements on average of once a week and they are not easy to have either. You are always hungry all the time regardless of how often you eat or how many snacks that they give you. It is as if they are putting something in the food to cause these issues intentionally.

To me, it is a torture chamber. Don't expect to receive any kind of help from this place whatsoever.

A staff member once yelled out "If you all don't like it here, then don't come back!"

My advice is to listen and never go to this literally God forsaken place. Although they do let you have a Bible here. Don't try to read it at night though or they will get infurious.

The God of the Bible is not welcome here. This place is run by staff members who would rather treat you as if you are in hell and they are the devil's assistants. I kid you not this place will feel just...

I'm giving this 4 stars... Ive read a lot of bad reviews about this place but I honestly can't say I encountered what they did. I admitted myself, I was addicted to sleeping pills, I was depressed and I was going down the dark path of suicide.. I made the decision to get help... I remember every little detail of my time there.. No place is perfect and no one is either. I think admin changes the doctors names to colors..i had Dr. White.. There was also a Dr. Black, Dr. Blue and so forth. When it came to my doctor, I felt they could do more to help. I legit wanted help and I only saw the doctor twice out of the month I was there. The way I got better and helped myself was by the other patients and staff in the pod. We had some good discussions, I met a lot of good friends. Some I still talk to this day, 5+ years later. A few I wish I could reach out to and see how they are doing now. I did notice that a lot of the homeless would be admitted, then discharged and then admitted again days later. I still have nothing negative to say about it. That place...

Most of the reviews I read prior to my sister coming to Rawson-Neal were true, I doubted them for a while because she seemed to be doing fine in their care. But they released my sister out of their care with no jacket, shoes, money, and did not even notify me when she was released. The only thing she received when they let her out was a plastic bag with 1/4 of her prescription bottle full. I even flew in from a different state to try and help keep her under supervision and two days after I left they put her on the streets with nothing. Finally my family and I drove to another state to find her wondering and lost and we brought her to my home. The hospitals here said she should have never been released and wanted to keep her at the hospital and the social workers and doctors wouldn't even return my calls or...
