Why are there so many uncaring individuals in this center? Why is the nutrition here lacking in healthy diets?

Bradford telling patients that BCBS of Alabama only covers 15 days of treatment. This is a lie-

It's scary to be out of your belief system and out of control. I still have a long way to go, but Bradford helped me get clarity. Things I lost are coming back, including my self respect.

It is a hell hole in ways like all Rehabs - if that is the way you want to look at it - however if a person really wants to get well they have the tools - it is very well versed for treatment of drug abuse

my grand son was denied retreatment at Bradford in Warrior after 2 1/2 weeks of bein discharged.

as a teen i was sent to this operation. My parents were bullied into this situation by the state employees drinking from bradford coffee cups. They were told i was addicted to pot and might die from withdrawls, just because they had good insurance. i was subject to horrible treatment and drugged before they saw me. ask to see the treatment and housing area before you subject your child to this expensive and inhuman trestment facility. find somewhere else where the employees are honest and qualified.

I was wanting to know if i would be given something to help e detox?

well i was wondering what are private insurance? what are stated financed insurance? and do you take people from state correctional facilities

Hello There,

My mother, Dottie Neill, is a new resident at Bradley Royal. I am her youngest daughter and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I was wondering if it is possible for me to write her via emails to your facility and ask her nurse or caregiver to deliver them to her when I do write. Is this a possibility?

Thank you so much for taking care of her in her final days. She has told me that y'all are very kind to her and I do so appreciate that. It is very hard for me not being able to be there for her. Please let me know. My email is pammarx@calvaryphx.com.

I went through here looking for a place for my dad. I dont see how anyone could put their parents in a place like this and sleep at night. I would never do this to my loved one. I guess some people just dont care. When I went in there were places in the celing falling down and water buckets all over to catch the rain comming in through the roof.

My nephew just finished detox and needs a place to go for rehab. He is 19 and has been doing oxycontin, opana, and any other narcotic he can find. He method is to snort it. He was prescribed seboxin and he was snorting that also. He has insurance, (keystone health plan east), but that seems to be making it harder to find a good place for rehab. I can not understand why it is challenging to find a place to go when most ins. plans have a drug and alcohol plan that covers rehab. Is there any way he would qualify for your rehab? He is a good kid with a lot of potential that took a wrong turn and just needs help before he ends up on the street which is the direction he is heading. My sister's financial situation is getting worse due to him, she works 2 jobs just to pay her bills, but he has fines to pay and a semester of college to pay off. He never finished his classes, he lied about going to class, he went elsewhere and did drugs. Is there any way he can qualify for your rehab? I do not think the detox he went through is enough,it was only 7 days. I need to be put in the right direction to help him that is why I am sending this to your facility. He lives in Wilmington and I am in Pittsburgh. I understand that he is an adult and should be taking care of this himself,(patient privacy act), he needs help and as his aunt I have to let him know I care about him even if you are unable to respond due to patient privacy I have to at least try, that is what your family is supposed to do. Thank-you for at least reading this, if there is any way your facility can help it would be truly appreciated.

want more pictures of facility

I have a grandson with no means of payment who is now finishing rehab at a facility. Is there any means of payment there for his treatment?

what am I to bring, tooth brush, you know what else

My cardiac condition, and the recent TIA, have caused me to have an increased transport requirement. Therefore it seems to put a burden on that part of their service. Living in Caldwell, 77836, makes any transport a major issue from any service.

Been an addict for a lot of years need help

INA HAS BEEN EVICTED FROM HER HOME THE WOMEN NEEDS TO BE PUT IN NURSING HOME WHEN SHE CAN GET THE CARE SHE NEEDS SHE HAS 3 50 YEAR OLD SON WHO SHE HAS TO WAIT ON SHES NOT ABLE SHE NEEDS CARE HERSELF .THANKS SOMEONE CONCERNED

Come See About Me Lord I have seen them come and go! Sick and in good health, we all need to know; it was not their time to go! They were hit! Kicked; just, as fast as their hearts beats. Just like Ted, we were not fed; now he's dead! We don't go out on the grounds; because we are drugged; so we want move around. She made sounds of gasping for air! No circulation; tied to a chair, "I cried as she died." It is very clear as this tear run down my face; we all ran a good race! Grace drowned in her gown. Bob frowned like a clown, as he set in mess, while wearing his best. While no one was around, "He jumped out the window, down to the ground. He did not die instantly; as people came around." She was shaken, push against the door. As she fell to the floor, she read her verse! As she saw her nurse, she jumped like a deer! When they are near, she lives in fear. We are put in here to stay! "We rarely have visitors, they have walked away." Brenda Kidd I just like to share this poem.

I am a former adolescent patient at Brentwood and let me just say if that's not hell I dont know what is. They come in your room every five minutes at nigh and say are you alive and well. When I arrived they told my parents that after seventy two hours they could take me out but it wasn't advised. Well after that I begged to go home, and they said I wasn't focused on my treatment and kept me longer. My parents tried to get me out but they told my parents that they couldn't do anything, and said they had no say even though they signed the paper work. So if you can help try to stay out of hell.

I am suicidal and am addicted to Alprazolam, which I got via internet.

Does anyone have any experience recently with service issues at Brentwood (slow to respond, dietarymix ups, etc.)?

does anyone care to join a class action law suit against this provider of deception, liar for an Administrator, poor and insufficient care, racist attitude and remarks to clients. Employees incapable of doing the job, old, bad backs, lazy, no where to be found..... you get it. Call for a meeting and they'll lick your ass and then do nothing when it comes to actually addressing the issues and concerns you had for your loved one. DON'T send someone you love to this place, now if you hate them and want them to die, GREAT choice. Did I mention the place SUCKS!

let's help each other learn more

I agree with the statement. You know the care is substandard when a doctor documents that patient's bandages were soaked with urine. The doctor at the wound clinic had to change my loved one's bandages. My loved one had an unstaged pressure sore and MRSA (a serious staph infection). Specialized boots were soaked with urine, as were the socks, clothing, and the wheelchair wreaked of urine, also. Nice job! It didn't go unnoticed by the hospital staff, however. And sure as hell, didn't go unnoticed by me either. Disgusting place. If an animal shelter were this filthy, it would be shut down.

I am trying to find CNA classes and saw that your location has classes. Could you please send me information on your CNA classes. I would like to start right away. Please send me the cost at peggy.spruill@yahoo.com and when the classes start.

Sincerely, Peggy Spruill

i am look for the corprate office number....

I was horrified by what I saw. The dialysis was not well managed and appeared to be minimally staerile environmentwhich is critical for patients safety and wellbeing. The thir floor was dark, crowed and not very clean. There were at least 10 or more patient in the hallway in wheel chairs and gurneys. They all appeared over medicated which if you look at the state medicare review they score high for prescribing psychotropic medications. There were about four yechs all standing around nurses station. I at no time saw them interact with any of the patients left sitting in the hallway. It isso misleading to the public that they have been given five star rating. Do not consider this facility without touring it first and look very closely and ask multiple questions.

Data Wrong See Medicare.gov. Your info is mostly inaccurate

Staff is so caring that it seems like family. They go out of their way to please you. May not have all the frills, but is a great place to go. Would highly recommend

do you have a respiratory floor? Are your nurses trained proficiently in vents and suctioning a treac?

What are the cost guidelines for the Bridgebab program

Just wondering why someone would think that Bpt. Manor is all that great. Maybe Anonymous was just luckier than some others.

The nursing supervisor can--and usually is--a real ogre. Very few of the employees she supervises like her; the same goes for quite a few of the residents. She tends to be very loud in the manner in which she deals with people, and often comes off as trying to intimidate people (whether employee, resident, or family member). I don't believe she could ever get a similar position at any of the local hospitals because of this problem.

im afraid of confinement but yet need just a short stay forr evaluation.medication, and my return home

I think as long as I got daily methadone treatments for heroin withdrawals,so I'm not so sick,I could deal with that.

I am Mr. Gardner's Son In Law and I have not been able to contact him. Can you help me locate him?

ia this a health and rehab center

The rooms are not prepped before patient enters. Dresser drawers and night stand full of crumbs. Bed rail was filthy and I am questioning whether the bed was disinfected before my mother was brought there. This place is gross and I am moving her out of that facility ASAP.

are you kidding me this place is not a 5 star more like 1 star if you ask me ,i had to remove my mother after two weeks .

Jill this is Bettie G. I need you to contact me via email.

I would like to discuss solution related to alcoholism and drug addiction. I personally feel that the Diagnostic Manual has not done enough research for their facts on substance abuse and misuse.

I have read through what the DSM 5 characterizes as substance use disorder and the scientific analogy of drug addiction. What they don't factor in, is the effects produced by psychotropic medications on the brain during development ages. Many who prescribe psychotropics don't analyze or test brain chemistry in the individual but still take a shot in the dark and prescribe what a sales rep said help it. With this kind of practice, it's no wonder the addiction rate is so high.

The information listed here is extremely outdated and incorrect.
