I loved lots of the staff and kids here I enjoyed talking to when I was In this place, but the doctor was terrible, she puts everybody on the same meds based on what I know, and she is very dismissive I explained to her 5 times for the 5 days I was there the meds she put me on I have been on 4 other times, the care is decent but not the med care or care from the doctor, and it's the same doctor for everybody she is old and I think she needs to retire read more

I am an LPN at a nursing home, and we sent one of our geriatric behavioral patients here. She came back black, blue, and yellow behind her ear, on her face, and on her neck. She has a huge hematoma hanging from her eye/eyebrow area like she was hit in the face multiple times. This was so called caused from a fall. The things that they are doing to people is very evident and we know how we sent our resident to this place. The marks and bruises she has received could not have come from a fall and that's how extensive it actually is. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS OR LOVED ONES HERE. read more

This place is SO bad they did not help my baby, she came home crying because a staff member had hit her right it her face, she had a black eye she had way more scars when she came home but she did say that some of the nurses and staff members helped her a lot and I believe their names where Jase Mace and Anna. All i have to say is that this place does not care about you or your child and their mental health. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

I was here a week ago, and it was hell. I was there cuz of my depression, andI'mm,13, so I was in the ado. The nurses there disrespected me, and they were just rude. They didn't care if you didn't eat; they just cared that they were getting money. I had taken many pieces of food, and they just took them away. I wasn't unit-bound, I wasn't put in the chair, it was like Oh, you're suicidal, I don't care. I still have a bruise from where I got my blood drawn; it was huge. The food was good, but on my second-to-last breakfast, they served us "eggs" that looked like rubber. I ended up getting sick and puking all night. Addison didn't care about groups; he just rushed through it and we played hot seat the rest of the time. Katie was rude, and I got in trouble for wearing the short ass shorts that they gave me. Katy threatened to put me at a table by myself because, as she said, "you are disturbing everyone elseLikeike bitch, I was just talking, you haven't given me my antidepressants or my ADHD medicine, and they say I'm the problem. When there was a fight, they put us in the hallway to protect us, but who is to stop them from going down the hallway? We weren't allowed to touch physically, which I get, but when my friend was crying cuz of personal reasons, I hugged him and I got yelled at. I didn't get my clothes till my third day, and some people came after me who got their clothes first. My dad dropped me off clothes and such, and I only got my blanket. I only saw my therapist once, and she was just rude. There were code greens all the time, and sometimes it took minutes, sometimes it took an hour, so when I was getting asked questions, I had to wait 20 minutes because of it. My curly hair is damaged because of the shampoo and brushes;s, they didn't have products, and they yelled at me when I asked for them. The nurse Ko,dy was one of the few nurses who cared about my mental health getting better. When I asked for a hot pack, it took 30 minutes to get 1. It was hard to sleep because when they did their rounds, they would always leave the door wide open. The night shift was loud, and they kept me up all night. The night shift didn't even do their rounds every 15 minutes; it was like every hour. When I asked to see my therapist about my book, she didn't see me. Groups were mostly TED talks and such. I remember one TED Talk that talked about people committing suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge, like, ok, show that to a ton of suicidal teens. We didn't even learn how to cope with what we were going through. We weren't able to give out our personal details, like why, is it cause we will want to go back together, we didn't want to be there in the first place. We also were allowed to curse, but they didn't care; they let me curse them out all I wanted. And it was obvious they were picking favorites because when I cursed, it was fine, when I cursed, I was in trouble. My room was moved once, and they didn't even tell me why. I was in room 200, and I think 208, if you see "A "LB on the walls, I was there. When I got there, I was able to sneak in a piece of paper my friend gave me, easily, like what the fuck. When we got calls, it was only for like 15 minutes, and it was monitored, so it didn't help when I was telling my mom about my thoughts. There was a girl who was trying to get sleep, but she wasnt aible to because of the staff. We were taken outside 3 out of the 5 days I was there and it was freezinng outside. And after I was let out, they didnt give me half of the items I had until last week. read more

I hate being at your mental hospital BUT...I love the staff and i have also been there and their food is BUSSIN shout-out to Anna banana;}

This place is a disgrace to mental health facilities everywhere. I had high hopes for them as the first couple days they actually seemed to care. I had one phone call with my daughter in five days. I was told she was refusing to see me, talk to me, etc. I should have been alarmed when one of the nurses had no idea that occurred during her shift but assured myself that they were just busy and didn't properly communicate about it. Cut to when I pick up my daughter; there was no discharge meeting, just handed a packet of paperwork (some of which seemed random and put in there as a filler) and my daughter questioning why I didn't come see her when in all reality I drove 4 hours just to be told she didn't want to see me. However, given how doped up she seemed to be when I got her Monday, I sincerely wonder if they had just given her what she refers to as "sleeping shots" just to not deal with it. There's also more bad to her experience there but that's the type of thing I have reported to authorities already so I'm not sure if I can speak on it. Don't send your kids there. read more

I was sent there monday afternoon they did good to get my mood back to normal after I made threats to my home staff I appreciated the staff and doctors at harsha for helping me cope and if I ever feel down again i will call ny home staff and harsha and ask for help instead of getting all worked up thanks harsha read more

I just want to point out some staff here Kate, Katie, Hailey, Tan Tan, And that one nurse Mace. They all helped me through out my stay here and I wanna say this was one of my best experiences in any hospital they kept me in check and also had my back when i was going through things others couldnt relate to. -Erica read more

Where do I start? The electricutions, The injection on pentobarbital, The abusing, the starving of patients, or the if you show any emotion and they will abuse or tortuer the person and inject them with pentobarbital (the same thang they use for human executions.) Dont take it from just me look what others have said "A patient of mine in a long-term facility went to Harsha, talking walking, reading and writing but when she came back, she could hardly walk. Don't even ask about talking or reading or writing. All she could do was drool I believe it was from excessive electric shock therapy. If so, the voltage was so high it gave her permanent brain damage. Do not recommend this facility if you would like to live." "My son has autism and we took him here to try to get his anger (throuing things) under control. He asked for a choclat milk and they said not so he started crying and they put him in a restaurant chair and shot him with 7 grams of pentobarbital (the same thang they use for human executions. The lethal dose is 2-10 grams). I went to visit him the next day and he was in a zombie state but they wont relise him for the next 14 days. I am worried hi is going to die. NEVER send ANYONE to this place of TORTURE." "Why don't y'all stop LOCKING KIDS in the rooms and stop putting them in RESTRANT CHAIRS for nothing and stop ABUSING the kids. We all were leaving with bruises and marks because they threw us around like a piece of trash." "Don't put your love one here they really need to be closed down.i had a grandchild here she watch them put a child in a chair and shock them.. it will make them worse then before and they give them medicine without telling them what they're taking and they go in and just take blood without telling them. .and they don't give you all of there clothes back they just don't care here .and while she was there 3 days she lost 7 lbs just in 3 days they wear the same clothes for 3 days at time. .... stay clear of this hell hole no star given for this place." "I don't recommend this place at all. It's terrible I was 9 years old staying here because I had suicidal thoughts, no sleep at all staff members were cussing at my 4 year old roommate because she wasn't laying down on her bed... I was scared the whole time because they were squeezing her arm hard because she wouldn't lay down I faced the other way and I heard a smack and then the little girl screamed. Don't let your child stay here. Nasty food too." "Their staff varied from intelligent to rude to stupid. My brother-in-law ranged from over-sedation to (documented) given the wrong medications. He received no essential medical care at Hersha. One especially rude staff person refused to share her name with me. My brother-in-law died shortly after his Hersha stay." "I am a fifteen year old who was abused by one of the nurses. This place needs to be stopped. I was 14 when I was here. I was not violent towards anyone until they started strapping me to a chair. I was put in these chairs for 2 hours in a seclusion room. FOR PICKING AT MY SKIN! Wasn't told what medication they gave me to sedate me. When I asked they said they wouldn't tell me. They were forced to do vitals on me every fifteen minutes. Would take my finger out of my fist and force it into the vital machine. Was put in this chair 3 times while I was there. Witnessed someone be restrained the same way for yelling. They did not know how to take care of us. Was emotionally abused by this nurse while in the chair. She would blame me and said I was the problem. Threatened me with a spithood when I wasn't even spitting. Was RESTRAINED IN STRAPS SO TIGHT MY HANDS TURNED PURPLE. Couldn't move them. Was told "Now you're gonna go cry to your mommy because your hands are purple and its your fault" Had my head pushed by the hand of a BHW named Debbie while in my restraint. Worst Part? They do the same things they did to me to THREE YEAR OLDS! Tiny babies being abused by this acute. A three year old is not mentally ill. YOU ARE CAUSING PTSD! I will be getting you in trouble for this. The nurses name was something that started with a B or a. I think it was Amanda? But Im not sure. Saw my therapist one time in my whole stay there. Was told I was a borderline after they knew me for 5 days. When I asked BHW Debbie about it she said that that means I was a "normal teenager" SAVE YOUR KIDS. I cant wait until this horrible place is done with." read more

See all

PLEASE READ BEFORE TAKING FAMILY HERE. I can not stress enough that this place is horrible. I am a registered nurse and have working in similar environments I am sad to be part of healthcare when I experience places like this. As a nurse our philosophy has always been "would you treat your family the way you do your patient and if not then you are doing something wrong."..............Well this place must have a messed up family. 1. My husband was my contact while I was inpatient for depression, I had marked he could get any and all info, yet he called several times and even went to the ED at the facility who guarantee he would get information when he calls. Even a day later they still wouldn't give him information. 2. I was there for the first 3 days without my belongings on day 3 an employee stated "I can't believe they haven't given you a bra instead of letting those big titties flop" At this point I was embarrassed and upset as my husband had brought an approved bra in however I still hadn't been given my personal items. I attempted to use a sheet to wrap around my breasts to help with my embarrassment. I was forced not to wear it as it is against rules understandably. However the nurse stated to me when I refused to take the sheet off " Well since you think you are in charge I will just take all your bedding." At this point all blankets sheets and pillows were taken from me. 3. I was not allowed in my room during the day as it was located on part of the child unit which was shut off during the day. Instead I was made to sit in a large room with nothing to do all except color. Imagine being made to sit at a wooden kitchen table all day and color as a 33 year old adult I like coloring just as much as the next person however for 12 hours a day.......... and I am on day 3 with no personal items. 4. On day 3 I had a mental breakdown after being told about my "titties" I was very thirsty however they only offered sodas or juices during snacks, I had asked for water. They said they would get some, 15 minutes later I went back and was told that I could have soda or juice as they didn't get water. 5. I was placed on in sight at all times which means I was not allowed to be out of eye sight of an employee as a week or 2 earlier I had escaped IU Methodist locked unit. The problem however of being in sight at all times is that I had a neck injury which causes pain sometimes and I was on day 3 of not having my special pillow for my neck despite having a doctors order from the facilities own MD, because again I still hadn't received my personal items. after being up from 6a to 3pm I needed to lay down for a little while. I was refused to be allowed as they didn't have enough staff. I finally snuck away and laid down in the empty day room.....(no staff)... I also had to sneak away to be able to get my shower as staff was always too busy to watch me and I was told no. They also do not allow AM showers as they are supposed to, no big deal you can take one in the evening however they also have refused people their toothbrushes and toothpaste to brush their teeth. I hid mine in my room so I could brush my teeth in the morning. 6. I was given a Haldol injection, afterwards I felt very nauseas, dizzy, and my hands were shaking. I had not had this medication before so I was not aware of the reaction it would cause I went to the nurse and begged her to check me out or help me because something was wrong. She did not offer any help as she was too busy. I spent the entire night shaking and even the next morning but didn't report it to anyone else because I had given up. 7. I only saw a therapist the first 2 days at the facility and had to ask repeatedly to be able to see them again, mind you I was there for severe depression and wasn't seeing a therapist....make it make sense. You got to see the doctor most days for 2-3 minutes. They would line you up outside the room and you could hear everything being said to the patient in the room. I asked for 5 of my 7 day stay for my migraine medication I asked every MD, every NP and it took me 5 days to get it. I was being given the wrong dose of blood pressure medications and my BP was running high, I didn't even bother to tell anyone because I would have had a stroke before they got the med correct. I still have nightmares about this place about sitting at a table for 8 hours with dried up markers and the same coloring pages from the day before the hopelessness I felt. The tears I spilled at night wishing to be home, the tears I spilled for being harassed about my breasts. Please if you love your family do not send them here whether it is geriatric, rehab, or mental health. read more

So not even that long ago I was a patient admitted to harsha for suicidal reasons and while I was there I was Sexually assaulted and harassed by another patient who suppose was a teenager about 17 or 16, though he looked much older he. Also, did this to another teen, who was fourteen , When me and this other girl reported this to the staff, they did absolutely nothing about it. And there's been several other things that has not only just happened to me, but other kids as well that those patients have reported to the staff about and they didWhen me and this other girl reported this to the staff, they did absolutely nothing about it. And there's been several other things that has not only just happened to me, but other kids as well that those patients have reported to the staff about and they did nothing. I was also only supposed to stay there for a couple days, but because of insurance reasons I had to stay longer because they were going to charge a huge medical bill. If I didn't stay for the right amount of days, that insurance allowed , Not only this, but my mom tried so many times to get in contact with the doctors and stuff there in the so-called therapists. However, they would never respond to her or seem to simply ignore her. They also put me on a bunch of medications before talking to my mom about any of it and The doctors wouldn't talk to my mom and all about anything. They had discussed in the so-called meetings. They have or anything like that , The staff members were also very rude and most of them are just snorkey, 20-year-olds who only are there for the money because they don't have to have college degrees to work there and they get paid a good amount. That's the only reason they even put up with the kids there and The boys and girls were not separated. So they were both in the same unit, which caused problems for reasons and not only this but Anytime that you argued back or acted out of how you're supposed to supposedly act there. They would threaten to put you in this chair which they use often in prisons and give you a shot which Would paralyze your body kind of like amnesia? Only you don't pass out to it , In all honesty, meadows was way better than what this is. This was probably the worst experience I've ever had in my life. And I would recommend sending your child somewhere else rather than this place. It is also not clean. There is a lot of pee pee. Poo poo poo stains smeared on the walls, and there was also a Kid who seemingly was autistic and couldn't handle things on her own and she didn't get the proper care that she needed and there was actually a few point in times where shit in the chair That they would make you sit in for hours on end because they wanted you to watch these supposable. Educational videos that absolutely did nothing for the child in the end. This place just sucks balls. So whatever you do. Please don't send your kid here even if you hate them. Don't send them there like for real. You're bound to get them like. Touched by one of the staff members or something that's how bad it is read more

Harsha Behavioral Center - Hospitals Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

My brother was sent here for an evaluation to work on his social skills (he has severe ADHD). We were supposed to send him there for a day but they didn't let us even talk to him for almost 5 days. They gave him several pills that neither of our parents consented to. He was homesick and wanted to see his dad, who was willing to see him, and they didn't even let him call. We tried to take him out of it, but they said that if we wanted to take him home they would charge us a huge medical bill for thousands of dollars knowing our financial situation. read more

I was admitted here a couple years ago, and it was a nightmare. I felt like i had been drugged and had no idea what was going on. I was entirely numb. If you were upset they would just knock you out with a shot in the arm and leave you wherever, even if it was the cold disgusting floors. They threw a 4 year old into the quiet room when he missed his mother. A terrible place. My roommate even threatened to stab me in my sleep and the staff DID NOTHING. They had no therapy sessions, nothing. Just put you on meds without telling you what you were taking, and sat you in front of a tv and considered that your therapy. Absolute nightmare. Please do not send anyone here. Just don't. It was traumatizing. They will not help you at all. They just want you to be silent and not move a muscle. If you cried because you were home sick they would just belittle you rather then comfort you. I threw away all the clothes i wore there, too painful to wear again. Just don't come here... read more

Believe all the previous reviews! They service is subpar, staff is unethical and needs more training! Dr. Harshawat and his wife all about money! Trust me don't go here read more

I have been in many psych units. But this place is definitely one of the worst. You go in there wanting help. But you don't get it at all. How many people have ended their life because this place didn't give them the help that they needed. And as far as Mother Russia she was a b***h! I could only give this place one star. But if it were possible I would definitely give it a negative infinity stars. read more

My daughter was sent to Harsha as the result of an acute mental health crisis. She is seven and becomes aggressive towards others and herself. Unfortunately, she is also intellectually disabled so finding appropriate help has been difficult. That being said - after a very aggressive incident my daughter was sent to Harsha. During intake we sat in a small room while I listened to another woman in the adjoining room talk to a prospective client on speaker phone talk about his suicidal ideation. He gave his personal details - including his name and number, his history and what had occurred in his personal life that brought him to the moment that he picked up the phone to call Harsha. I could have picked up my phone and searched him up on Facebook if I wanted. His privacy was not exactly protected. The woman taking his information was not compassionate or invested in the call. She seemed apathetic to say the least. When she returned to continue my daughter's intake, she continued to be apathetic in her approach. She would try to suggest to me how to answer questions about my own child - a child she had never met before. She clearly had no understanding of her diagnosis by the assumptions she was making either. She processed my child and I was on my way. My daughter spent 6 days in this facility and it was an utter waste of time. I spoke with a "therapist" once. I did not receive any insight that was in any way helpful. The therapist had no grasp of the diagnosis my child has and couldn't offer me any useful information that would help me once my child was going to come home. She told me they had "great group sessions" and that my child had been working on "talking through" many different coping strategies. This was total nonsense because my child is 7.5 years old but functioning cognitively much lower and not able to answer questions or interact in group sessions in a meaningful way. The therapist told me that I could solve some of her issues with a .... Stress ball! I think my husband and I are still laughing about that one. Our daughter has profound brain damage. If a stress ball would have solved her issue, I feel like I might have figured that out - even if just by accident. So for approximately a week... Nothing happened. No doctor called me. I spoke to a therapist called me once. There was no medication adjustment, even though clearly whatever my child had been on was not working. And then one day despite continued aggression, the care coordinator called to tell me my child was going home. I asked if she was safe. They said no. I asked if she was self harming. They said yes. I told them I had no reason to believe that she would be safe when she came back home. They told me that she couldn't stay any longer. Basically... Her insurance ride was over and safety was irrelevant. My husband came to pick her up. The person who discharged her went through the paperwork and told him that there were changes to medication. He said he was confused because he thought nothing had been changed. The discharge nurse could not explain the difference. She said she didn't see what changes had been made. Two other nurses on the floor who had actually cared for my daughter were called and they also didn't understand what the notes on the discharge summary referred to. Medication seems like an important thing to be unclear about the details of. They said they would put a call into the doctor for me and the doctor would call me back. That never occurred. When my husband return with my daughter, I looked through her paperwork more closely and realized not only had we received our child's discharge papers but we had also received another child's discharge papers. His name and address. His prescriptions. His diagnosis. Lots of really personal. Really HIPPA information. I saw that they had also sent prescription refills for my child to her pharmacy. Upon closer inspection, I realized they didn't even send the prescriptions in the correct dose and one medication was not even the correct medication at all. One medication was supposed to be delivered in a 75mg dose and the prescription was written for 150mg. The other med was written as a 125mg extended release medication to be taken three times a day instead of the standard release medication she usually takes. A medication in extended release taken like that would have caused her to get too much in her system at once. I would not have caught it either. The pills look the same, by the pharmacist asked me if they had changed the way the medication was being delivered. I hadn't realized the medication had an E after the name of it. I am not sure I would have immediately. The hospital is clean. It's new. My daughter didn't die when she was there and no one in my family or her school was hurt by her for a week. The benefit pretty much stopped at that. She continued to hurt herself while there and came home and continued where she left off. read more

My sweet 84 year old Aunt with dementia was sent from a Clinton, IN. nursing home to the Harshaw center for what we were told was an act of aggression the end of July. Her 86 year old husband did not understand what happened, or what was to happen. My Aunt walked, talked, ate, drank, smiled when she entered Harshaw. 2 weeks later she was discharged back to the nursing home in a wheel chair, unable to walk, talk, eat, drink, never again to smile. She was over medicated, drugged into a zombie state. She died 6 weeks later. She never regained her walking, talking, eating, drinking ability or even expression in her eyes, which she rarely opened since Harshaw. I I highly do not recommend this place. I am considering a lawsuit against them for mis-treatment of my Aunt resulting in her death. It's too late for my sweet little Aunt, but please do NOT send your relative there. Look at the reviews. read more

This place is a circus. I cannot believe the staff and the horrible care they give children. My child was abused by a male staff member. Leaving bruising on my child's face. I reported this to staff and it was all downplayed. Things weren't adding up, fighting in the back hall ways alone. What set me over the edge was when I received a phone call that my child had to potty and walked in on to the opposite sex taking a bath. I was appalled. UNSUPERVISED, no adult near. I told them I wanted to speak to a doctor immediately. The doctors didn't have the time. I refused to accept that, so they got the highest of nursing available, she reviewed the cameras to inform me her "techs" were in another room assisting another patient. So to make the situation worse, the employees were unaware it happened until my son spoke to peers about it. The nurse told me she then asked my son more questions to figure out what had happened. I spoke with multiple members of the staff regarding my concerns. I had enough with the staff and Heidi was extremely rude and nasty toned with me. I informed her as a professional she had a lot to learn. I pulled my child from this toxic, unsafe environment. It saddens me that special needs/behavior children are treated this way at Harsha in Terre Haute , Indiana. read more

My father was in Harsha Behavioral Center in the Savera Geriatric Unit for Alzheimer's behavioral care and received excellent care and I would highly recommend them. We seen a remarkable difference in the first few days. We talked to others during visiting hours and they said the same remarkable things for their loved one. It is very clean and the staff are extraordinary. This is the best thing that has happened for my dad's Alzheimers care I wish he could stay there forever. read more
