Bluebonnet Trails Community Services

Went to bluebonnet trails community service because I am uninsured after losing my job in April when my father passed. I wanted medication management and therapy. They recommended an inpatient facility called rock springs and said they had a bed for me but to get funding I had to go to THIS shit hole of a place- all volunteering and on my own will. It is connected to the county sheriff department and where they hold people in a crisis. I got there at 4:20 and by 5pm realized how incompetent the staff were, condescending and uneducated . I essentially had to BEG to call my mom. 40 min later I was able to call her- At this time I had told the case worker I wanted to leave. She said she would not give my mom the address and advised I just wait to see the dr. I agreed to wait to see the psychiatrist when the case manager said she would ask to get me seen sooner.(5:20) In between this time I asked to speak to someone and an African American male with gold in his teeth said “nah, you ain’t the only one here you can wait”. — there were TWO other patients. I responded that I wanted to leave and he said “then go!”. I said “ go get my stuff and I will” he said no. So I slammed my door as hard as I could. A nurse came in and asked what was going on and I said I was told that I’d see the dr soon and it’s been over an hour I just wanted to call my mom to tell her to head this way- we live an hour away- she said “I heard her already tell your mom to come, just take a deep breath”. Less than 10 min later ANOTHER case worker comes in and says okay let’s go call your mom to tell her to pick you up.I responded- oh okay so y’all are liars too. I told my mom to just honk when she was outside. I heard her. They buzzed that it was time for me to leave so I opened the door and they refused to let me out. From 5:20- 9:55pm this place held me there against my will. UNTIL my mom called the police bc she could hear me screaming to let me out and I made the door alarms sound by escaping. I was not court ordered to be there. I was lied and told I had to go there to get to rock springs. It’s all non sense. You’re better off just being suicidal than EVER stepping foot in this place.

I really appreciate the time and effort to the beginning of my recovery from my drug usage. They have a very caring and loving staff. They fed me 3 times per day. Provided between each meal snacks 3 times per day. They give you a room with a bed, dresser, nightstand and a full size bathroom. The group leader Mr Barry was very helpful. he has awesome group sessions 5 days per week. There are clothes provided if you have no clothes except the ones on your back. There is an craft room with activities to also do with lots of stuff inside it. There is a dayroom where you can watch TV, watch DVDs and play a WII game or so. I encourage those in need for whatever your reason may be to come and see if you can stay here for awhile. You will see. And if you have a loved one needing help, send them to San Gabriel Respite Crisis Center. You will not be displeased.
