I spent 1 1/2 weeks at Cypress Creek for bipolar and would consider a very helpful experience. The goals reviews and counseling sessions were very helpful and it was nice to have staff around that cared.

I was involuntarily put in this hospital. The only good thing about this is if you ever wonder what crackheads are like in their day to day life, this is a great educational experience. The staff felt more like bouncers than caring people. I remember when I was in one of the rooms and turned the curtain around and found black mold growing on the side so I wanted to put in a suggestion in the suggestion box saying to wash the curtains, the main bouncer, then told me I wasn't doing the right thing and he wasn't my house maid. They wouldn't let me go outside because I didn't smoke cigarettes. When they loaded me down with anti psychotics, they wouldn't let me chill and they would make me participate in sessions no matter how groggy I was. I heard mixed reivews about the dr.s there I hated mine, Dr. Athi Venkatesh, he usually was late or rescheduled usually cutting into my "free" time. This was 4 years ago and I still got endless beef with this place.

If you are depressed, you have better chances at getting better at western warehouse than this place.

Cypress Creek has the potential to being a good hospital, but has a long way to go!

The turnover of staff is terrible and as a result the quality of care is less than desired. The amount of overtime that they staff must perform due to the turnover is unacceptable and the staff is too stressed out to perform their duties.

I was "involuntarily" committed to the hospital and "locked up" with some very undesirable people. Some were in for attempted homicide, withdrawal, and a variety of mental problems. Also, their were holes in the wall and tile that was full of mold. I was afraid to go to sleep and couldn't wait until I was reassigned to the upstairs ward.

I obtained a copy of the court order that resulted in my involuntary committment which was full of lies, but no one would listen to my complaints. I was assigned to the director of the hospital and I really liked his care, but upon release I never saw him again.

Cypress Creek has a long way to go to improve their image and facility.

I also agree that cypress creek is a terrible place to go.
I have been there myself 4 times and not once had it helped me.
The staff was rude, they ran things horribly and disorgnized.
I had been there 4 times over the spread of several months, as I began to return I started noticing that things wee getting out of control.
Girls would start throwing roits to get throizne and the nurses would pay no attention unless it had somthing to do with them.
There would be times my parents would be a minutes late and theyw ould not let them in to see me.

I went in for depression and I was not even offered outpatient therapy. Instead, they asked me loaded questions about suicide which I was not capable of doing to myself. Then, whenever they were having me admitted into inpatient, I repeatedly asked if it was completely voluntary because I just wanted a therapist to talk to and I needed to leave the next day. They assured me this was the case, but once I spent the night with people that were multiple suicide attempts and one that was even homicidal I wanted out. This place may be for some, but if you're just feeling depressed DO NOT GO. You will watch as people stalk from room to room with zombified expressions, and I felt better about myself just as soon as I left that place. I discharged myself and even then that was a process because they had twisted all the questions they asked me about suicide to make it seem as though I were a danger to myself and others. I am definately not an expert on inpatient facilties but I know my own emotions and they may be for some people who feel completely hopeless, but it was not for me. The staff seemed warm upon entering but turned slightly hostile when I needed discharge to continue my life. Again, these people deal with very hopeless and bleak cases so this may be for you, but it wasn't for me.
