Crestwood Behavioral Health — Local services in San Jose

I was recently a patient there transfered from a county hospital. The hospital and staff are horrible to say the least. The staff ignored my medication list provided by my doctor's office and only provided me with the medication they wanted and the doses they wanted, basically forcing me to go through withdrawals. I am also a diabetic and eat a special diet. I was forced to eat the same foods and as everyone else and was told I could control my portion. I did not always allowed access to food or drink, including water. There where patients that were physically and verbally aggressive towards staff and patients alike. These patients were never reprimanded nor punished. There was not always access to the patient phone for use even though there was a staff member present. Late night from anywhere starting at about 10pm - 5am you can always find a staff member sleeping instead of working. The doctor at this facility should have his license revoked, he is all about keeping the hospital full for that easy money and does not have the patients best intentions only the $$$ in his pocket.

I was a patient 4x at this hospital due to instability with medicine, homelessness and illness. It was very rough for me to get adjusted due to my inability to smoke for 4-6 months. However when I did I was pleased. I was taught what close care of hygiene looks like, structured days and balanced meals, and learned what better relationships look like can be formed through advocating, asserting, and assimilating.

I needed this time to remain healthy, it could have easily been the reason I am still here. From this hospital I was granted to go to independent living, and with the skills I learned and the reasonable rent, I am a more reliable person for my family. The staff was very sensitive to my insecurities and they sincerely invested whatever time they could to be available to speak with them. I would like to be staff as well, helping people build confidence and approach. I want to work in the mental health profession at crestwood now because after meeting many cordial guides like Tom from (phf) and fay (mhrc) both paved the way for my good faith and understanding in a more worldly way. Dr Munir was a wonderful suite for his job and very talented. Thank you again for my brighter future that I have today. Love,...
