Emergency Mental Health - Binghamton (NY)

5 /5 Kate DiGraziano: I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of care I received at the Triage/CPEP units. I came in with pretty severe withdrawals & suicidal thoughts, and the nurses/in-house psychiatrists could not have been more compassionate, non-judgmental and attentive towards me. Not only that, but they were very professional in giving me a concrete mental health plan going forward (setting up an appointment with a new psychiatrist for medication management, and another with a social worker I can speak with going forward). It made me feel like I was not alone in this, which is very important in my opinion. If you are in crisis, it can be scary to think of going to one of these places. But I can assure you, one mentally ill chick to another, they will help you here. The waiting room is a bit chaotic -- but once youre back in a room, they really will take care of you. Highly recommend for anyone going through a similar crisis -- there is nothing to be afraid of, they truly want to help you feel like yourself again.

5 /5 Lynnette Hawkins: I just want to say that this program is a Godsend. Even though I had to wait countless hours to be seen....it was worth every minute. Charles in the CPEP department is one of the kindest, most understanding people that I have ever met in the healthcare field. Dont let the wait deter you, they will truly help you to find your way.

5 /5 Erika Renee: I once was begged to stay and few years later, I came back and tried to be admitted and they would not take me. I have heard nothing but good things about the staff in the doctors there I highly suggest anybody going through a mental health crisis get to where they will help you! Sometimes we all need a break

1 /5 Tyler Loop: Emergency mental health in this community is run by UHS so there for it is run by corporation. No matter what corporation it is any corporations main goal is to make as much money as they can. UHSs main goal is to push as many pharmaceuticals on their patients as they can so that they can make as much money as they can. Notice how rarely youll see any private practices anymore. Many of these doctors have been sued and put out of business because of Medical malpractice. UHS like many other corporate hospitals have thought of a way around this by prescribing as many pharmaceuticals as they can. All and all it just adds to an endless cycle of drug addiction and mental illness.
