I left their treatment center worst than when I arrived. Patients hid and violently used tools to harm themselves. I remember there were several fights between staff and patients. It is very dangerous and unpredictable when you are in there. It is NOT individualized care, it is a FOR-PROFIT company. I am traumatized by the things I witnessed here. Please stay away from this type of company and all the doctors that run it. Many nurses were verbally abusive, and doctors were disrespectful and careless towards my treatment. This place is a joke. Yeah they change lives, they fucked up my life. Now my family owes over $20,000 and the worst part was they wrongfully billed us on medical expenses that we did not undertake. My doctor prescribed me an endless list of medications that not only worsened my mental health, but it made my body unstable. My family begged for me to be released, and they made up lies so they could extend my stay for more than 2 and a half months. We had to fight against them with LAWYERS just so I could be transferred to another facility. As soon as I left, they refused to send any of my documents concerning my treatment to my new doctor. Don't ever trust the "Free Needs Assessment" it's the thing they use to lure you into their system and trap you from escaping until they are satisfied with the profit they made from you.

As a former employee of Prairie St Johns in Fargo, I shudder to think about anything affiliated with Emmett Kenney MD. He is a tyrant and does not advocate ofr patients or staff. As I psych nurse with over 20 years of experience, I would not recommend the Fargo hospital to anyone!
