Business ProfileforMind 24-7

My daughter had surgery and had general anesthesia and pain meds afterwards. She slipped into a depressed mode and was not eating. We took her to ER to check if she needed fluids. They eventually recommended Mind 24/7 as a resource for her eating disorder and that they could give us an idea of available resources. After we arrived my 19 year old daughter went back to discuss her issues. She had a zoom call with a "provider" who recommended that she be admitted somewhere. My wife went back and spoke with her and she said she did not feel safe there. But the "navigator" told my daughter that if she walked out that they would petition the court and have her institutionalized in a hospital for a minimum of 6 months to a year and that the police would come and handcuff her and take her from her family. We stayed in the waiting room until 2:30 in the morning to be available to her. She said that she was put into a large white room with other patients, male and female with assorted conditions such as substance withdrawals, ***************** and psychotic episodes. All her belongings were taken away and she was told she would stay there until a facility would accept her. That happened after 8 Am the next morning. We went to the facility the next morning and she was released within a very short period of time after an evaluation and invited to attend one of their outpatient programs. Sure with we had gone there first. She said that in her intake interview on zoom that she was asked about suicide and she said she had thoughts but wouldn't ever harm herself.The incident has traumatized her a great deal and has caused her to question who is out there to help and who can manipulated the system to get insurance money from the vulnerable. Especially the comments given to her about her consequence of walking out. And that they would be looking to commit her even if she went somewhere the next morning and found the resources and program that she was looking for when she walked in.
