This is a place where rich stressed out people go for a vacation. That's honestly my conclusion.
I went to Sierra Tucson as, what felt to me, my last resort. My cptsd is ruining my life causing me mental and physical pain and I needed this place's help to get back on my feet even just a little bit. Welp! It's rated best for ptsd but I was, honestly, I was treated like crap.
After being home for a bit to recoup from the trauma that occurred there I found that I wasn't the only one- Google reported that this institution has dealt with many a suicide due to nurse negligence. Which is exactly what happened to me! Amongst other things.
I spoke w a representative months prior to admittance to ensure that this experience was going to be successful. I am told not to bring my medications only to arrive and they not have them. So I break out in a full body rash which takes over a day to be acknowledged and treated. The stress leads towards painful hemroids which also takes another day to get a cream which is unhelpful.
I'm given a scooter that doesn't have neck or upper back support and hits every bump on campus and drives spikes through my body. Takes a week to get a new one which also doesn't work for me but by this time I'm picking my battles.
I have cptsd and insomnia and I'm given a room next to an employee entrance and exit that slams all hours of the day and night.
My original assigned case manager went on vacation or had an emergency because I was given someone unfamiliar w my case and didn't care about my concerns. In fact had me practically straight jacketed and ambulanced out of there because they failed to just give proper care. Failed to properly give me my medication! Failed!
If you're rich and want some zen. Here's your place. If you have actual health troubles, this place is too scared to properly treat you. I don't recommend going here. read more
