Follow the therapists…

First hand account of how mentally ill are treated in Illinois.

Health and human services provide mentally ill patients with a single bedroom apartment and money for food. Nobody checks in on them and they are told to call a number if they need help.

The program is funded by assertive community treatment grants. From what I understand the patients are actually being studied and researched by these grants also.

The therapists that help these people do not care and are young and paid like garbage.

I have witnessed these people with refrigerators full of beer, crawling around their apartment, and eating dominos pizza everyday.

Tax payer dollars being allocated to people that abuse drugs and alcohol and are left alone in apartments.

Sick!
