  • Safety is a privlege and that privlege is a choice! Safety is a persons right, if they choose to have it and protect it! If they choose to be unsafe, that is their right and it shouldn't be taken from them by locked doors!

  • Safety is a right......especially when one is in a PSYCHIATRIC hospital. The Meadows is a Level 1 Acute Psychiatric Hospital that does not lock their doors: not even in the acute unit. Call your local hospital and ask if they lock their doors in their psych wing. I bet they do! Patients in hospitals and psyche units have a RIGHT to be protected.

    Schools lock their doors to maintain safety. General Hospitals have a few unlocked doors to the outside and those are always monitored.

  • Kill the music, it's terrible!

  • Anyone who knocks a facility like the Meadows should get their heads examined.

    Addicts & mentally ill people will always do what people with these types of personal problems do & that is not the fault of mental health professionals who are trying to help them save their lives. They can not follow these patients around after they leave so why should they have to baby sit them while in patients.

    People kill themselves while under lock & key in jails all the time.

  • he's the southwest behavioral health director? in az?

  • It's a private treatment facility for christsake, NOT a correctional facility.

    It can be argued that a lockdown policy would engender an atmosphere of paranoid control. Patients pay to be there. How would violating their right to leave whenever they want foster a feeling of safety?

  • Rush stayed a few days in a Tucson area rehab.
