Business ProfileforThe Ohana Addiction Treatment Center

On April 15, 2023 I entered into a mental health facility for my depression and to taper off of a medication I was currently on. Prior to traveling to this facility, I was promised there would be medical staff on site at all times to monitor my taper and withdrawal symptoms. They also verified my insurance, saying I needed to send them a payment up front for my portion of the in-network insurance coverage before arriving to O'Hana treatment center. Once I arrived to the facility on April 15th, 2023, it was not the case that there were medical staff and after a few days on the medication they prescribed, I was only able to speak with administrative staff about my intense symptoms from the rapid taper and the medication they used to taper me off of my previous medication. I was having such severe symptoms that I was needing emergency medical help, and they were not able to reach the doctor who prescribed the medication which they used to taper. After fainting multiple times, the paramedics were called by another resident in the program, and then soon after they left the administrative person who was in charge that day asked me to leave the program. I was not offered help in finding another program to enter into while I was experienced such severe symptoms. I was out of my home *****************), and the treatment center was in ******. My only option was to fly home while still experiencing such severe symptoms from the taper medication and from too quick of a taper that was not monitored by a medical professional. I was not given a ride to the airport after they asked me to leave, even though I was in very poor health. I would also like to mention that the administrative staff were the ones administering the medications to residents, which they said is actually required to be done by a medical professional. Since coming home, I've continued to have severe symptoms as a result of the medication they prescribed and as a result of medical neglect.
