“T1 was ok staff was compassionate and try to help the first 4 days, The Sierra unit was a motel 6 with a drug pusher and incompetent and abusive nursing for the next 10 days waste of Medicaid money, discharged in worse shape than when arrived! Would not recommend Sierra unit to anyone seeking help. Horrible experience for someone with mental illness.”
