Well for one I bring my wife in around 3:00-3:30 because she couldn't kick the cold or flu she had. My wife was in bad shape all her numbers were bad. They gave her x-rays in the room and told us she was going into kidney feller. And they need to do a CT to see if they could treat her here or send her to Pittsburgh. Now they gave her the CT at 4:45 and waited and waited my wife wanted something to drink and kept telling her we can't till we get the CT. And 5 hours later watch is bullshit the CT came back. This hospital needs to hire someone to read x-rays in house so like my wife should not lay for hours to find out what is going to happen. The nurses on are floor are all nice. Are dog is a full blooded lab and my wife was missing are dog so I asked if I could bring her and been bringing her to see her mom. People didn't even know are dog was here and it cheered my wife up seeing her. Until some asshole complained and now my wife can't see her little girl. This place doesn't even deserve one star after what they put my wife though.

If I could give this hospital 100 stars I would. I have nothing but great things to say about this hospital. I have been going to the same obgyn doctor since I was 16 and I continue to see her til this day, all the doctors in that department are amazing though because I did see them at one point during my pregnancy journey. I have had both my children at this hospital and the experiences both phenomenal. I can t express how much the entire staff shows so much compassion and love towards you as a patient and that is exactly what you want when someone is in that field taking care of you. I will continue to always go here for all my needs. Thank you to all thenurses and staff. I want to shout out to nurse Kristen for she was a beautiful soul and made me feel comfortable the entire time.

This is not a knock on all staff, some were great. This is a knock on their infection control issues.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Armstrong Center for Medicine and Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

I say 2 stars because it depends on the staff sometimes very occasionally they are nice . Between me and my kids having to go to this place over the past few months (the ambulance wouldn't take us to butler) it's just been an awful experience starting in June when a tree trunk fell and hit my son in the head he was bleeding and had a serious bump upon calling 911 we were informed they are tied up and it was going to be awhile, so I was able to get transportation to take my son to the ER. When we arrived the waiting area was empty, he had an ice pack from home on his head we checked in and waited and waited.....and waited some more about an hr had passed so I asked if they were going to check him out anytime soon and was told "kids get hit in the head all the time they take priority first" yet NO ONE Else was there before us one other person came in about 35 minutes after us I believe stomach pain was the reason they were taken back , we waited 2 hours basically then went home I kept him up late and made him an appointment to see his dr. Well about a month later I was bleeding abnormally bad from well female points and felt as if the pain and bleeding had become concerning my bf called 911 when they arrived I was in a fetal position on the floor the paramedics told me to get up and walk they didn't even assist my bf did . When we got to the hospital they parked me in the hallway, I had bled thru my pad and pants into the bed they had me on so I was asking for help and the nurses were just standing around gossiping laughing no one even acknowledged me , I tried to get you to go to the restroom and fell , you would think someone would say I my God are u okay let me help you but nope some nurse came over and told me to get off the floor.. ive filed a complaint but nothing is changed , they sent me home at 4am saying i probably have a cyst they left me bleeding in pain laying in a chair for 7 hrs . I'm pretty sure that chair is still there . They did confirm only a UTI from a pee cup but they didn't run anymore test . This is just 2/5 visits this year and 4/5 were all horrible experiences.

ER Staff was great....when for cold symptoms, seen relatively quick, diagnosed with COVID, sent home with meds...feel bad for the staff having to deal with the crazies in this county. You are underappreciated.

Worst hospital ever. ED is always a joke. I fell while pregnant and they were giving me a hard time about being seen - saying I don t need to have the baby checked on. Ultrasound techs are very rude and inexperienced. Tried to talk with the ultrasound tech Cathleen today and she gave me rude looks and ignored me the entire time. She also didn t want to even give us pictures of the baby when you ALWAYS get pictures after an ultrasound. I will be delivering my baby at a different hospital because I do not trust the incompetent staff here at ACMH. Staff is always very rude no matter what department you re in. I recommend going anywhere else but here as I, nor anyone I know, have never had a good experience in any of the departments.

If I had to the option to give no stars I would. Worthless place. My girlfriend came into get check out for pregnancy been vomiting all day. The women who the intake was rude as all get up. Asked for her allergies. She gave them, then say nope another staff will get your information. They bring us back to a little, is it a room? More like a cubby hole in the wall with a current that doesn't even cover the whole area. Say back her for over and hour nobody comes in to check on you, then when you ask to leave. U have to wait for paper work.... Still sitting here 35 mins later. What a joke.

April 30th Called an ambulance, had cut my finger with a knife. Before the ambulance came I had bled through about 6 paper towels and a wash rag. They arrived and then they covered my finger with gauze and another paper towel, and arrived at the hospital. I waited 30 mins in the waiting room. Once in the room in the back, waited roughly and hour and a half. I asked for Medicine twice and didn't receive anything,(yes I was in pain crying, I cut my finger and wanted some tylenol)Nurse came in asked if I could move my finger, I told her no I could not feel it, the nurse proceeded to over it for me. Took me to another room and gave me stitches, ignoring my concern of not being able to move my finger. Sent me on my way with no medicine or nothing but a doctor apt to get my stitches out. My doctor then referred me to a hand specialist since I have cut a tendon in my finger!!! I now have no movement in my upper part of my pinky finger.

Came in with symptoms of bronchitis, diagnosed with acute bronchitis. ER physician "felt" like I wasn't showing problems with breathing. Left, couldn't breathe, I called back & was denied an inhaler. How about what their patient feels? I guess that DOESN'T matter.
