1980, when John Phillips was a councilor. I worked for N.J Bell Telephone. Suffering from depression and on several medications from a quack doctor, my general manager drove me to Fair Oaks and signed me in. Staff concluded I was close to death from the medications and my friends taking me out drinking trying to cheer me up. I survived and retired from Verizon( former NJ Bell Tel) in 2000.
Horrible experience. Was there Feb 1988 for 6 months. Drugged with all these medications. I was a 16 yr old that needed the love of their parents, but instead sent me to this horrible nut house.
