Lifestream Behavioral Center Reviews ( 161 )

  1. I agree only if zero could be selected. This place is a joke I have a family member who truly needs mental help and has been in and out of lifestreams so many time and never receives the care that they need. Always just a 72 hour hold and …

  2. These place has the worse services , they never respond back your phone calls, they need to close down this place, lack of service, lack of responsability to patients, is like they work there just for the check but they dont care about patients.

  3. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE ! IM PROMISE YOU DO NOT GO THERE FOR DETOX! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANYBODY AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY LIE TO YOU AND THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! They dont even deserve 1 star.

  4. This place is a joke i took someone there to get help, and the intake person named Lori was rude as could be, wasn’t even listening to what the problem was! This place should be shut down because clearly yall arent helping the ones who need it

  5. This place is horrible it was like hell on earth the overcrowded the place with people and had me as well as 12 others sleeping on cheap foam beds on the floors.

  6. This place doesn’t care about the well being of people, they don’t want to truly help people, I’m not even sure why they are here!! Terrible place!! Do not recommend anyone to go here for help, you won’t get it!! …

  7. Worse facility I’ve ever been to they need to separate the severity mentally ill from people who are struggling with bipolar/depression the people i speak of can’t disregard there own feces and walk around the common area naked very disgusting facility and feels like you’re incarcerated

  8. I called to check on my wife and they told they couldn’t tell me anything because I wasn’t on her paper work when I know I was people are rude an don’t care don’t send your love ones here

  9. If you need help this one but you one that is a hospital to help you not to serve but of the help I gotten in others is one thing treat patients with respect and get help it makes me sad to hear that things have changed and not for the better I do believe in getting help that has not stopped God bless

  10. Awful place. Pretty much like jail. The doctors there aren’t even good just ask you how you are and they let you go and for just that I got charged a lot. I hope this place goes down soon.

  11. Do not rely on Lifestreams to help to get your family members any serious help. They tell you to call the police to Baker
    Act. The police tell you to call Lifestreams. They all pass the buck,and
    do nothing.

  12. This place is literally like prison and should be shut down asap I was a patient there and they literally treat you horribly this place makes you more depressed and makes your anxiety worse literally worse place I’ve ever been

  13. I didn’t like it. It felt very dirty and unsanitary and I felt like I was staying in an abandoned place. Also they wouldn’t give me my adhd medicine so I actually did almost go insane twice there.

  14. This place makes people wait in the intake area for over 9 hours. That is unacceptable!!! You can’t walk outside to smoke or you have to give up your spot in line.

  15. This place should be shut down .i went to school here and they beat on you and even break bones and the state and lake county sheriffs backs them up they put your kids on drugs to calm them or boost them sometimes even give them both upers …

  16. This place is terrible. I only give it one star for the friends I made. The group therapy dont talk about anything relevant the food was okay. Big conspiracy that they drug the water because there were flakes in it. This place is just not okay. And shouldn’t be allowed in society.

  17. On November 10, my daughter was Baker acted after being given Invega which caused her to become delusional. On November 12 they called and told me she was incompetent. On November 13th, they released her and she was still delusional and couldn’t even walk up the steps. Very incompetent !

  18. Lack of communication, thorough treatment, and professionalism…
    It’s obvious that the staff hates being there. More importantly, my son has been there 3 times and feels like it’s torture there.

  19. Unfortunately the staff at this facility that is suppose to help individuals are absolutely horrible! They did not know what was going on! They didn’t even listen when my friend stated his medicine was not working! Needs to be addressed!!!

  20. I was admitted for a short time for a Baker Act concern….As a NASA engineer from Virginia.. I can say the staff were courteous, attentive and quick to answer questions and concerns….as with most hospitals, they appear to be somewhat …

  21. I would give this place no stars if I could. Completely unprofessional. Staff talks about confidential patient information where everyone can hear in the lobby. I heard yelling and screaming from one of the staff members out in the lobby. Just sad.

  22. It was a life-saving place. Anyone unhappy with Life Stream obviously wanted to use while in or is using now. The staff is very helpful and encouraging. If you are in a dark place with drinking or using, check yourself in.

  23. Worst mental health care facility ever. No treatment or groups. More of a jail. Staff verbally abusive. I was not given any of my psychiatric medication except trazodone and was manic when I was discharged. Horrible place. Needs to be shut down.

  24. The worse place my sister has ever been taken to … She was baker acted they had her less than 48 hrs and sent her home … I live w her because she was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and has had 4 yrs of manic episodes … She is currently on …

  25. The person that is supposed to be the recipstionist needs to work for McDonalds or the street dept because she is the worst, why they still have her/him is a creepy mystery, she/hr is also a rude unprofessional waste

  26. I was backeracted once there and went once willingly and I was treated like I was scum. No care, no empathy and no kindness. They want to keep you sick. They want you to get worse. Don’t go there.

  27. Had an amazing experience with a great group of people N Staff . Durning my stay at life streams ! Thank you all couldn’t have done it with out the staff and help of my peers!!!

  28. Abuse the 911 system and send people to hospital for things like a Covid test, pregnancy test, alcohol levels too high, ect. Basically they find a reason to send you to the hospital so it’s one less person to take care of.

  29. My addiction story is no different than most addicts, It started with prescribed pain medication and rapidly grew out of control (herion , Methamphetamines, cocaine etc.) Over the years , I tried many different treatment centers in and …

  30. Do not help at, they don’t listen or pay attention to court orders, don’t listen to the guarian of said patient to talk with doctors, they were no help at all, never go to this place, they don’t care at all !!!!!!

  31. This facility is abusing it’s patients and holding them to feel like they cannot leave unless you take the medications forced down your throat. Absolutely traumatic stay here and it should be shut down immediately.

  32. I saw Dr Dada (a psychiatrist) here. He’s an excellent doctor, but Lifestream stopped prescribing ANY AND ALL BENZOS a few months ago, so this review is more about them than Dr Dada (who is a great physician, kinda).. …

  33. In response to Michael Ross. Not all people that go to LifeStream are there for addiction. My husband has severe anxiety and depression and that’s why he went there 3 years ago and was treated very badly. So maybe do your research before commenting on something you know absolutely nothing about moron.

  34. I checked myself into the detox and it wasn’t bad at all in there. Seeing some of these reviews had me worried. Staff was great. It was also very clean back there.

  35. Saved my life, Dr Correa is awesome! I had a very good experience with their detox …I am rebuilding my life now thanks to Dr Correa ,Jamie,and Lifestreams.Dr. C.is practical ,and a very genuine and wise councilor .Suboxone is a miracle …

  36. I would also leave no stars if I could. Absolutely the worst. These people get paid to NOTHING!! My father spent 4 days there and we picked him up near death, He was completely ignored and his clothes were stollen. The staff could care less, they just collect a paycheck.Do not under any circumstances go near that place!

  37. Not sure for everyone but Lifestream saved my life, These deal with severly mentall Ill people. I was there and a patient had a break down for 7 hours. They professional secluded the patient and allowed him the space he needed. These people care dearly for what they do.

  38. Does anyone at this location know anything about helping ppl in need?? Active addicts try to get help and what happens when someone calls for help. They get turned away and told that they have no clue when or where another NA meeting is… …

  39. Been going here for about a year now. Dr.Couts treated my OCD and depression. I have my life back. I can sleep and eat and work. Dont have those racing thoughts of death. Always keeps her schedule appointment

  40. This place is the most unorganized place I have ever seen. The reception area is staffed by incompetent teenage morons who can’t find anything , and don’t know anything. …

  41. i was in the child psych ward for 4 days. by far the worst hospital ive ever been admitted to. head of nurses shouted at the patients and refused to listen to anything i said. staff was disrespectful, not properly trained, and verbally abusive

  42. Brought an 18 year old addict for detox based on a referral from 211 emergency line. Exclaimed the situation when we called the day before, as well as the fact that the prospective patient had been using THC wax and cocaine. They said no …

  43. incompetent to the point of unethical treatment. This place is filled with apathetic and unqualified personnel who could care less about humane treatment or treatment. I spent 3 days awake and in pain and they ignored the diagnosis and medication given to me by actual doctors. this is a house of torture, nothing more.

  44. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They don’t do anything there to help people that are asking for help. I’ve seen staff verbally abuse patients and refuse patients treatment. All they do is collect state grants and abuse the local …

  45. My husband was taken here after he voluntarily asked for help at the emergency room. All they did was dope him up sit him in a chair for 4 days and absolutely no therapy what so ever. And to top it off they lost his clothes.

  46. I’ve been seeing Dr. Correa for about 6 months. My experience has been great. One of the things I like most about our doctor-client relationship is the respect; he doesn’t talk down to me like I’m an addict which that alone makes me feel …

  47. Yesterday I was verbally assaulted by the Center’s “top psychiatrist” because I asked a question regarding a scheduled appointment I had with him and my request to reschedule the appointment. When I called and spoke with his nurse to ask if …

  48. I was just released from this facility and this is the worst place I’ve ever been to. They treat the patient’s like animals I simply asked to use the bathroom and was ignored by staff for over an hour all you do is sit in a room all day the …

  49. I attempted a long time ago and went willing and didn’t even want to stay i could hear people yelling in the ward where the admissions were I eventually just flat out said i was fine so I wouldn’t get put in there it sounds bad but trust me …

  50. I was admitted here and it was the worst of my life. The beat and abused me. I was on phone restriction my entire stay there. The doctor barely spoke to me and diagnosed me with a mental disorder. (I have no history of ever having an mental …

  51. They killed my son. Complete lack of following directives by the back up staff. Caught filling in medical checks. 15 min. checks and my son was hanging for three hours. There is a special place in hell for the staff that that was being paid to watch my suicidal, schizophrenic, son. I called 12x and no one answered.

  52. I started seeing Doctor Dada in September 2020. I have Complex PTSD and depression. The staff is always courteous on the phone and the Doctor goes above and beyond to help me live my best life.

  53. As someone who works in Social Work and Suicide Prevention (and someone who works on a SP grant in partnership with LifeStream), I had a really terrible time at this facility. …

  54. Dr. Correa has been a GOD SEND! I’ve been seeing him & Sheryl for close to 3 years now. Dr. Correa has helped me in ways I couldn’t ever tell or reciprocate to him. I’m FOREVER grateful I lucked out with such amazing humans Lifestream has …

  55. Lifestream and the fact team have been there for my son and I through a lot of rough times. I owe them for helping my son with independent living. I so appreciate having them a available for my son’s needs. They have went through alot with …

  56. My experience was through my husband being admitted in seek of help with depression. Neither myself or my husband feel that her received help in any way. Upon discharge my husband was given his medications in return except for his …

  57. I’m not really sure where all these negative reviews are coming from because I left this place today and have NOTHING but positive things to say about the detox (arf) section from start to finish. I was interviewed and evaluated in the time …

  58. I was summited here in August of 2017. And it was hell. I had some benefits like being able to stay in my room and sleep. But besides that I saw the Doctor only twice. The second time was to get out of that hell hole. I hated how some …

  59. Hello I am still here! I really wish staff here would take a huge step foward and Thank Beverly Hills Lifestream.
    They have shown compassion! I still will hold those accountable to the same …

  60. I spent over 3 hours on a couch that smelt like pee crying and telling staff I did not want to be alive. I let them know there was pee on the bathroom floor and hours later they still hadnt cleaned it all. …

  61. Worse thing I ever did. This place needs to be shut down asap. That was not help to anyone in there. It was more like a jail. Patients fighting with staff. I saw a nurse get punched in the face. Patients fighting with patients. I saw one …

  62. MY NAME IS LILIAN I have been submitted into Lifestream on and off for about 5 years now (2012-2015). I’ve been getting better over time with other help. However, my past visits to this facility have been awful! I have countless stories of …

  63. If I could leave no stars I would.. Walked in for help for my 10 year old.. She clearly needs help and the system is failing her.. The intake people have to call the doctor whom says she does not meet criteria. WHAT I am flabbergasted on …

  64. The resident Psychologist was just looking to prescribe me drugs. Didn’t feel listened to. The employees don’t answer the phone. I called over and over and was told by the receptionist and the secretary that they don’t have a working phone …

  65. After 12min on hold with the office on 3rd street in leesburg fl. by brittany. Your hung up on. So frustrating… After 5min they could have come back on the line and said something or before just picking up the phone and placing on hold …

  66. I have repeatedly tried to take my addicted sibling to this place. They will say they have a bed open and we will start to do the 3-hour drive to get there. And when we call when we are almost there they no longer have a bed because they …

  67. was there for a week and a half. they changed my meds without telling me, forcing me to quit cold turkey and gave me a high dose of lithium and another drug that made me sleep almost the entire time i was there. they tried to give me …

  68. Felt more like a minimum-security jail than a hospital. SOME of the staff were incredible people, others should NEVER be allowed in such a place. They seem to view the patients as an inconvenience rather than the patients they are. One of …

  69. Staff was very nice and the rooms in the back were very clean. Sitting in the waiting room had me kinda nervous because it’s a little dirty but once I got in the back it wasn’t like that. Just wish their was more stuff to do while you were there. Lot of sitting around watching tv to pass the time.

  70. This place was truly horrible and traumatizing I think this place needs to be shut down because there services was truly bad the nurses were bad and food was horrible I tell everyone do not go here or u will have more issues and problems

  71. My son was taken here. The doctor pushes meds first instead of other treatments first. No communication between staff and parents if you want to know anything you have to call them and hope they answer the phone because they won’t I will be …

  72. I would give zero stars if I could, theres nothing good about this place. The staff is ill qualified, theyre understaffed, and over worked. Managers literally walk around in front of patients, asking staff to work doubles because theyre so …

  73. came here after a suicide attempt and there’s like.. literally no enrichment. I was there for 3 days and was so bored. I was worse off here. and some of the staff were very rude. Shout out to Mike the tech. he was super cool.

  74. I am concerned that this facility is considered a program that is specific for mental health needs. I know firsthand. Because I took a sleeping pill that my body could not handle, I was taken to the emergency room and then was baker-acted. …

  75. I would give it 0 stars if I could. The patients weren’t given masks or asked to stay 6ft away. There were ants in the food and it took a patient pointing it out to have it removed. One person was screaming about pizza and other things and …

  76. very gross, moldy showers, no blankets, rude staff that yelled 24/7, most kids don’t belong in there. psychiatrist doesn’t help just asks questions. nice to get away but did nothing but sit for 3 days. not happy.

  77. I recently spent 3 days there. I honestly don’t think this place helped me at all. Only thing they done was keep me doped up. The charge nurses were rude. The techs were more professional than the nurses. No therapy was given just pills to keep the patients calm.

  78. This is a horrible place. They abuse patients I was beaten by William Perez one of the staff. I was and manic I’m sure I was being stubborn but that’s no reason to punch somebody in the face multiple times causing bleeding and bruising. …

  79. My husband was having a mental episode and was baker acted by police in lake county and taken here. Not 48 hours later he was released in a delusional psychotic state of mind. They did not give him his regular meds even tho I called and …

  80. My experience here was mostly bad. I was bakeracted after my miscarriage and the night staff were some of the most terrifying people I have ever met and I’m shocked they have their licenses still. I’m a travel nurse and understand the ropes …

  81. I personally was there for 72hrs and not day went by that I didnt needed to fight for the things I needed. I had to practically argue with the staff to be able to get a hygiene kit and for a shower. Staff are very rude and careless. Anytime …

  82. The receptionists are very uncaring and rude , you can’t ever get ahold of anyone to make an appointment and the therapist is a joke …shout out to my doctor Dr. Correa but he seems like the only caring person there . They have been …

  83. I guess I have to look into legal avenues now because they won’t properly care for a paitent with end stage heart failure. Update: There are a few nice people on staff (Angela was amazing) but I was given the run around and hung up on by at least one person.

  84. I do not recommend taking someone or admitting yourself to this place. I admitted myself to Leesburg’s Lifestream a few months ago because I am suicidal and bipolar. I did enjoy some of the staff and volunteers that were quite lovely people …

  85. Hello my name is Stephanie also known as Steph. A while back I posted a bad review because I was disappointed. If you, a friend or a family member needs help this is the place to go. Life Streams will help with mental health, counselling, …

  86. After my previous bad experience here, I was scared to ever go back, but in a fit of utter desperation I decided to give it another chance. The good news is, I didn’t have a bad experience! The bad news is, it’s because I didn’t even get …

    UPDATE: LIVESTREAM BEHAVIORAL IS NOT THE CONTRACTED 3RD PARTY. IT IS KID CENTRAL INC. THEY ARE COMMITTING FRAUD CORRUPTION AND PERJURY IN EVERY APPEARANCE IN …

  88. The staff is extremely rude and unhappy. It’s understaffed so the patients don’t get anywhere close to the treatment they deserve. This place should be inspected and inevitably closed due to lack of staff and proper treatment for the patients

  89. I was here a few years ago and felt like I was in jail. I don’t know about the rest of the place but the men’s ward was very unclean, the staff was very unprofessional, the food was very minimal and unedible and on top of everything they …

  90. Do not go to this place. My daughter was sent to this facility in 2020 when she was 11 after she was Baker Acted for suicidal ideation, and as a nurse I can say it was a terrible and traumatizing experience for her and our family. My …

  91. Some of the most unhelpful and rude staff imaginable. My girlfriend was sent here (wrongly, I might add) and has had the absolute worst experience. She has dietary restrictions which they refuse to meet, is unable to sleep due to constant …

  92. I was sent to hell! Got absolutely no help and was put with people that scared me to death! I received more help from patients then staff! I wouldn’t send my worse enemy to your place! All you did was scare the hell out of me!! I described to my husband “I was sent to the bowels of hell”!

  93. I wish I could give this zero stars. I took my daughter there on a Friday evening and they made us wait 3 hours before we could even see anyone and then when I am filling out paperwork I ask about the cost and they wouldn’t give me an …

  94. This place is nothing more than a money maker to bill the state for services not rendered. My stepdaughter was sent here by Southlake Hospital where they did a psych baker act due to her extreme mental state of being delusional. No …

  99. Horrible horrible place, it’s not very clean, staff is rude as hell they don’t actually care about the patients and they treat you like an animal and not a actual person.Food is horrible. Not enough beds, blankets or pillows. There’s no …

  100. Dr. Wallace and Dr. Valente should be prosecuted they are nothing more than drug pushers. They are wicked human beings that only care about profit. They should lose their medical license. Life streams is a disgusting wicked institution …

  101. Well I’ve been here unfortunately 3 times God willing this was my last it can seem like a mental prison but the connections I made and a few good workers made it a life changing experience for the better I’m on my path to alcohol recovery …

  102. IF ONLY 0 STARS COULD BE GIVEN, IT’S WARRANTED!!!! Worst location to send a loved one. This facility pays no mind to the updated intake paperwork a patient has COMPLETED if they’re already in their system and staff gives an abnormal …

  103. Dr. Correa seems like he cares but some of the staff that deal with the inpatient facilities there needs work. The way the talk and treat some of the patients is honestly appalling. Would not recommend the inpatient program. Staff are atrocious.

  104. While I was being imprisoned here they would not let me leave because I was “noncompliant.” They didn’t tell me about why they were keeping me and I had to figure it out. The drug that they had me take Abilify makes me sick so I refused to …

  108. Dealing with the front desk over the phone (when they pick up) is absolutely Hell. Multiple phone calls are required for the simplest of requests. There appears to be a breakdown in communication between the front desk and doctors. …

  109. Sanctioned kidnapping.
    Someone there called law enforcement reporting I was suicidal. I was not. I didn’t know what Livestream was and was looking for legal help. …

  110. I was put in the children’s unit as I am a minor and I have to say it is horrible. There is some good staff which is the only reason why I give it two stars but the rest is horrible. The food makes you constipated. They run out of extra …

  111. THIS FACILITY MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND SHUT DOWN. First of all, expect to spend 12 to over 24 hours in the waiting room for them to admit you (you’ll be sleeping on either the hardwood floor or lying across hard plastic chairs. Choose your …

  112. This place helped me and kept me safe while treating me for a week. The staff were respectful and efficient even when busy. My only complaints are that the food wasn’t very good, and it would be helpful if patients had access to more than just 1 phone to make calls.

  113. I wish I could give zero stars. This place is absolutely deplorable.. If you’re struggling with mental health PLEASE stay clear of this place. It’s over crowded to the point where there are people sleeping on mattresses on the floor, it’s …
