Friend got stuck at a mental hospital that has bad reviews, is there anything I can do about this?
My friend was told she had to sign the papers to voluntarily check into a mental hospital or they would involuntarily commit her. Her story was a little confusing, she said she called the wrong number and implied suicidal thoughts.
I saw a lot of reviews related to violating patient rights, over medicating and keeping patients longer than necessary. This happened only a week after she went to a different MH and was assaulted, and she is fighting legally to obtain the security footage.
My friend won't have access to a phone and is in a different state. Is there anything I can do to check in on her? I'm not sure her friends or family are going to check on her.
