The Nord Center

Good luck getting any services BEFORE you end up having a stay at the hospital. Once you are a patient, good luck getting someone, anyone to bother to respond to any of your calls, whether it's your practitioner's nurse or even emails. Good luck being on time for your appointment when the receptionists are sitting around gabbing and eating at the desk ignoring the line of people waiting to check in. Looks to me like socialized medicine, which is everywhere, where you are a number and not a person. This is big business, not healthcare, much less any care at all other than money. Don't bother voting to raise your taxes to support this money dump. Money can't fix a problem that starts with incompetence.

If you truly want to be helped, avoid this place at all costs. Their only goal is to label you with a diagnosis so they can medicate, medicate, medicate. As far as counseling? Complete joke. Once they diagnose you it gives you a free ride as they use that as an excuse for all your actions, rather than encouraging change.They started my husband on amphetamines because they labeled him as having ADHD. If he did have ADHD he would not have responded to the medication as he did. In no time he was abusing the pills and buying them off the streets. I told both his counselor and the prescribing psychiatrist and I was totally dismissed and he continued to recieve the medication. Oh yes, they helped him...he went from having a job, house and family to living alone in HUD housing collecting disability, but at least he still has his amphetamines. Real success story and all thanks to the nord center.

I voted for funding for mental health to Help Nord out but I will never do it again. They are no help, they act like it's a joke about some issue when I called the hot line. I think this place is a joke and I would advise people to stay clear of it. We need better mental health agencies than this one. Still looking for help for a family member

I called this center for help with my son. To my dismay, the assessment worker fabricated on the assessment. Therefore, my son was pink slipped against his will. He was taken to emergency where he stayed 24 hours, re-pink slipped and then send 2 and a half hours away. To make matters worse, I called to file a grievance with the papatient rights person, who was no help at all. I spoke with the supervisor. Whi did not seem to care. This is a mental health facility. instead of helping my son, this facility created more mental distress. I will never recommend this place

Love it
