Sister got checked into a mental hospital, but hasn’t been getting treatment or any help

r/

So my sister got checked in a mental hospital, it’s notoriously known for being a terrible place that doesn’t provide any help. It’s called Holly Hill In raleigh NC. Going through the reviews and experiences of other people makes me scared for her a lot. I’m not sure but unfortunately i think she got involuntarily checked in. She called us saying that she’s been there for a day and she hasn’t gotten a shower, any clothes, and she’s on her period and hasn’t gotten anything to help her. Please is there any way we can get her out of there, or transfer her anywhere else. She’s also going through withdrawals which makes it even worse. And if she did check in voluntarily then is there also any ways to get her out or somewhere else. She’s already 20 so the hospital won’t give us a lot of information but she sounds scared. The hospital has even gotten sued, people say there are fight, the workers don’t care for you, and it’s an absolute nightmare. Please anything will help. Please ask for anymore information. Thank you

    This place sounds unsafe as hell. Contact a patient advocate or mental health attorney asap to see what rights she has and how to get her transferred out.

    Your need to hire a lawyer. Since NC is a one party state SECERTLY record any talks you have with the staff

    literally just search up Holly Hill in Raleigh NC and read the absolute nightmares people have had. Place has a 1.8 Star rating in google and a 1.1 Rating on Yelp!! I really care for my sister and this will probably be even worse for her

    I believe they are supposed to have posted in a public area a number that can be called to report complaints to the state Board of health or whoever regulates hospitals in your state.
