I've been there like 20 times and they are always nice to me. We got to go to the gym and listen to music in there. The food is not bad. I drink alot of milk there

Holly Hill Hospital is an excellent mental health resource for the community. The efficiency and prowess of the hospital and its staff are making leaps and bounds at preventing suicide in the North Carolina community.
In an ideal world, acute-level psychiatric facilities would not be needed, but in reality, hospitals like Holly Hill are critical to addressing a serious public health issue.

I spent a little over a week here about three years ago as a teen. Upon intake, I was forced to show physical scarring and healing injuries (self-made) in front of my parents despite me asking to speak with the woman privately about my needs. She asked my parents to stay and ignored my own feelings -- which is honestly not a great start when trying to help a sick person. I was then asked to disclose on my suicidal attempt and planning, which I was no way near happy with doing in front of my parents. I finally stopped talking and refused to go on. I know that may seem silly now, but as a teen in my situation and mental state, these actions were extremely distressing and caused an immediate lack of trust in the facility.
The ward section I was in was dirty and cold. The staff could care less about your mental state and they would literally blame us patients for having problems. I was admitted after suicidal threats and behaviors due to severe mental illness and they did nothing to help resolve these immediate troubles. My "therapist" was a psychology student that had no support or professional with her when she was "working" with me. Our group therapy sessions consisted of staff members coming in the small glassed room most of our time was spent in and we had to introduction ourselves, why we were there, and what we wanted to do once we got out. The rest of the time was small group talk and the staff member telling us how to improve ourselves as people (like ladies shouldn't sit with their legs open because you are inviting men in), which apparently is why we were having problems . . . we were just behaving in a wrong manner. They pumped me full of drugs that left me lifeless and in a daze. I ended up with an eye infection, which no doctor saw until I finally left because "it [didn't] look too bad." After the second day, I literally begged to be released because I couldn't stand it. Before you leave (as a teen anyway), you must join a parent/child group in the gym to do family exercises. I was extremely uncomfortable with this as many of my problems stemmed from my parents not believing in mental disabilities at the time. I was shouted at in front of everyone by a staff member and she threatened to lock me up for another week for being disrespectful when I mentioned my stress with the exercise.
Part of the program was physical health and education. Gym time was us running in circles around the room for a few minutes and then doing jumping jacks. School time consisted of basic adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. We also read elementary level passages and answered multiple choice questions. I do understand that many of the patients are not up to higher educational levels or have standard IQs for various reasons, but I was a high school senior doing children's homework. It was just busy work, that's it. My teachers sent school work for me to do, but many of it was based off of new concepts and they had no one there to help me, so I fell far behind in my studies.
About four months after leaving the hospital, I was having severe suicidal thoughts and feelings, but I was afraid to say anything because I was scared of going back. To this day, I keep many suicidal thoughts and planning to myself because I refuse to ever experience anything like this again. It really is sad when this place is supposed to help people, to give them a place to find themselves mentally, and to cope with their problems, but you end up afraid and feel safer keeping so many negative thoughts and feelings to yourself because you never want to experience something that terrible again. This place is not there to help the ill, it is there to scare them straight.

I was here nearly a year ago. I wrote about how they treated me when I got sick off their food and received no medical care for it. All these 5 star ratings are plants to make this $h!t hole look good. Don't believe them. Anything that says community oriented/supportive is bull. Techs could honestly care less about the people there. The Docs I think are only there for the money. At night the staff can be extremely loud. You ask for mundane things and they either deny you or ignore you. The place sucks!

My stay at Holly Hills has been amazing. I am so grateful that I ended up here. The staff is amazing, they listen to you and really care about how you are doing. Holly Hills is designed to build community where all of the patients complete group meetings and therapy sessions together, which allows for everyone to learn from others mistakes. In addition to the atmosphere, Holly Hills has the best Psychiatrist and Therapist to walk you through this experience. I have made great connections with other patients and with the nursing staff, so much so I will miss them when I am gone. I am writing review after spending 3 days at this facility, I look forward to going home. And thanks to this staff, I will be able to go home with the tools and skills needed to never come back in this capacity.
