Went thru this, can confirm. That long distance trip from Portsmouth ER/pod was disturbing. I was a suicide risk so I had to be bound in the stretcher and then in the back of the ambulance alone in the dark. I had been in the holding area for days which had been highly stressful - a tight space with nothing to do but watch the TV in your room, no windows, you share one bathroom, a lot of the other people are screaming and throwing things. After finally getting loaded up in the back of the ambulance, I asked if they could play music from the front to soothe me, they said I wouldn't hear it. I sang to myself to ease my anxiety. By the time I got to the treatment center in Derry, I was throwing up from stress and empty stomach. New Hampshire is TRASH for mental health.
