Vista Clinc

The worst decision I've ever made in my life was to allow my husband to be admitted at Vista Unfortunately we are on Military Medical and cannot just pack up & leave The place is a prison; the rules are **********, and it feels like a jail. You can't see your family or visitors for the first 4 days!!! This was ridiculous in my husband’s situation he has depression he is not an addict that is, there for rehab & his biggest fear is being locked up and separated from people he loves. The rules are ridiculous. My husband is a 39 year-old man, it feels like they are infringing on one's human rights. When I have to take my husband clean clothes it must go to a separate entrance where it must be searched how inhumane is that strangers going through your underwear it is absolutely ridiculous they must really get to know their patients & get to know who is there for what reasons. These ridiculous rules are only explained while your family has already left and you are busy with admission, and they expect the patient to sign all forms, how can a patient that is not in a good mind space sign these forms without the primary care taker being there. Someone with depression is just going to agree to everything without thinking it through. None of the medical personnel even has the decency to speak to me as the primary care taker of my husband on his progress how am I suppose to support my husband and help him grow once discharged. There is absolutely no communication between the medical staff & family. The receptionist and nurses are friendly until you are admitted.....after that, they treat you like a child, which I am not accustomed to. I would never, ever consider going to that facility again, especially not for my husbands type of situation. This is not only unsettling & disturbing for the patient but every day that I go there and driving home I am traumatised. It is an extremely disheartening and damaging experience, not a facility for my
