North Star Behavioral Health

My friend went here it was a horrible experience for her she almost died the staff were evil only 2 of the staff were supportive and helpful the rest were mean and mentally abusive

awful terrible place, would rate 0 stars
if possible, literally a prison. no I wont give you feedback, you deserve to be closed and you should shut down now.

I was at the longterm in Palmer between the years 2018-2019 for 9 months and 17 days and had small stints at their longterm in 2018 and 2019 as well. The trauma this place gave me still haunts me to this day. Do not take your kids here. Take them anywhere else, heck Juneau youth services has a coed facility and an all boys and all girls facility and while it’s not perfect it’s a much better place than northstar. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE. DO NOT.

I was a victim at north star☹️ literally gross and dirty place👎👎 the staff is rude for no reason and abuse the children. NOT LGBT+ friendly place. I felt very uncomfortable!!! I'm 12 years old & please don't being your children here. They tried to starve me for not listening to them. This place should be illegal. It felt like prison. 🥺💔

0/10 worst experience ever

Honestly I rate them a 0, I was abused and neglected while I stayed there. Please, find a better option because this place isn’t right. They need to be shut down

I came here in January of 2021. I came with the expectation of being helped, but instead was far more traumatized than before. I’ve gone through intense therapy to try and heal from this “therapeutic” hospital. Staff blackmail children, rights are withheld, communication with family is token away once you start talking about what’s happening. You’re stripped of youre rights. Maintenance doesn’t keep up on their job, the pictures they show you, are not how it actually is. It’s not as cuddly and cute as pictured, by any means. It’s unclean, unsanitary. The list truly goes on and on. But parents, please do not send your children here

Cannot fathom why this place is still open. Abusive and negligent. The staff here are not equipped to be taking care of the mentally ill. If you take a loved one here or submit yourself, you are subjecting them to the worst kind of treatment and behavior. This place should be shut down. No treatment at all would be better than being a patient here. You are worse off for being treated here, regardless of circumstance.
