Hi, I have a son who is severely autistic nonverbal. He also has ticks OCD ADHD. He is developmentally delayed. He is also extremely violent/aggressive/destructive/agitated majority of the day pretty much just anything you can think of. And it’s just heartbreaking to watch because he is my entire world. We have tried every single medication therapy, doctor psychiatrist psychologist. Anything you can think of and we have yet to find someone to help us. We are currently waiting to see a new psychiatrist at u of m but we still have some weeks to wait and I don’t know if we are going to make it that long. I call u of m/childrens Mott’s psychiatric unit every time these behaviors happen and I believe they only have 6–9 beds available so they are always full. Right now we are looking into the Helen DeVos Center, hoping we could get him in there and unfortunately he would have to stay for a couple of weeks until they get his medication regulated and he would be observed and all of that. I just wanted to know if anybody has any experience with this place. NOT JUST THE HOSPITAL ONLY THE PEDIATRIC BEHAVIORAL PSYCH UNIT. I’ve heard not the best things about the hospital, but I’ve heard no negative reviews for the pediatrics psych unit so please please please can somebody anybody help me and give me some feedback if they have ever experienced the pediatric psych unit here. I’m beyond desperate this is not something I want to do but I need help. I’m so tired of watching my baby suffer and I
don’t know how much longer my body can take it. I’m in pain 24 seven. Also if anybody has any info about the inpatient program at the Straith center, I believe it is in either Livonia or Westland. Feedback would be greatly appreciated for that Center as well thank you so much.

Hello does anybody have any reviews for the pediatric behavioral/psychiatric unit at the Helen devos Center in Grand Rapids I am extremely desperate and I just need to know if anybody has taken their child there and if they were treated good and if they received help. Also, if there are any info about the Straith center here in Michigan as well that would be greatly appreciated

Hello everyone I have been looking all over I just moved from downriver now I live towards the Monroe/ida area. I’m having some teeth issues but am terrified I need to know if anyone knows of a place that accepts Medicaid/delta dental for ADULTS and offers sleep sedation. I’ve been looking for years and cannot find anywhere absolutely no where if the place does sleep sedation they don’t accept my insurance if they accept my insurance they don’t do sleep sedation and some places that do both are only for children not adults and in order to have my work done I have to be completely put to sleep or I will have a full blown panic attack and possibly pass out. Please help! And I am willing to drive a bit maybe 1.5/2hours please help! I know this sounds childish but it is such a fear of mine idk what else to do. Thanks.

ALSO**** Not asking for medical or insurance advice just dentist recommendations if you know any that do what I’m asking for
