Back in June, I admitted myself to St Mary's for suicidal thoughts. Around 5 am, they said because I'd been drinking hours before that I had to detox, despite the fact that I was sober. So the police practically kidnapped me and took me to this decrepit cess pit to force me to sit in what was basically a jail cell. I had to wait until the breathalyzer reached zero and all they did for me was serve me a crappy breakfast and for lunch was a soggy Italian beef sandwich. I wasn't even there for 12 hours and they have the nerve to want to charge me $1000 and not accept my Medicare insurance. If you ever go to the hospital for mental health reasons, never show up after you've had a few. I basically felt like a criminal just for seeking help! They have no business operating the way they do and no reason to justify their high price tag! These people are kidnappers and scammers! They are the real criminals!
