i would like to add my comments regarding lakeview, as well…my very close family member was lucky enough to have had the benefit of treatment (inpatient twice) at lakeview ….in addition, ive gone to many family support meetings, along w/many weekly narcotic annonymous meetings…consequently, i feel as though i am in an objective position to voice my opinion on the program, staff and outpatient services that we had experienced (several years ago)…EVERYONE was professional, most were friendly, including the nurses…the insides of the building, where the clients/inpatients live, are very clean, tidy and organized..the daily programs are extremely structured and privileges are “earned”…by the grace of God, my family member has been “clean” and productive for about 4 years now…they actually have a bright future ahead, which for many years, our family saw little hope for…but, i will ALWAYS be in deep gratitude to lakeview, staff and NA for the part that they played in my loved ones recovery….(especially, miss lavinia TY)

I was not referring to your comments…I was referring to the derogatory comments made about Lakeview. We agree with each other!

“ignorance is not bliss”
I said the money should have went 100% to the “mental health” court.
Maybe it is you who should step away from the ignorance and educate yourself with a reading and comprehension class.

I have first hand knowledge of Lakeview Center’s inpatient treatment facility as well as other psychiatric facilities across the country. Inpatient treatment for psychiatric issues is inherently difficult. It is trying on the patient and on the family. Lakeview Center may not have the newest building or the nicest facilities, but the staff there is caring. As long as you (as a patient) treat them with respect, that is what you receive in return. My husband owes his life and now stable mental health to the doctors at Lakeview. The comments I’ve read here are disturbing and only feed into the misconceptions that people in this area have about Lakeview. Let’s face it–in-patient treatment for mental illness is not a cake walk. It is not fun. However, this is not because Lakeview is sub-par! It is just the nature of the beast… Please step away from ignorance and educate yourselves on the subject, before speaking out.

Maybe the Lakeview Center will open up a few more Methadone Clinics so these drug users can get their drugs free and legal with our tax paying dollars.
The Department of Children and Families backs these Methadone Clinics with PREGNANT women standing in the meth line with children to get their daily dose.
The doctors put these drug addicted pregnant women on a controlled dose of methadone “to keep the baby alive” when the drug users find out they are pregnant.
This is a FACT. Try calling the HRS about your grandchildren who are being raised by a “drug addict” On Foodstamps, Child Support, Pregnant and standing in methadone line, AND BE TOLD there is nothing they can do because she is legally on the drugs by a “doctor” AND that they don’t care if she is laying in the ditch on drugs, AS LONG AS she left her children in the care of a responsible adult.
Try going to the jail and getting help for a “mentally ill” prisoner.
They don’t care. They treat them like dogs.
The money should have went 100% to the “mental health” court. We need this.
We don’t need more Methadone Clinics.
