Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

This place spells neglect. Dr ibriham, there head of the medical staff, head doctor is a coward. Never have I ever encountered a dr. In his position that refuses to treat someone because of a condition that has been treated to treat another issue. Please if you value your safety and mental health seek other services. They push pills on you for something you don t even need to treat. Oh and don t ever work here.

I gave them another chance after they sent me to a mental hospital that really messed me up a lot. They also gave me a job later on but I quit and I can't tell you why do to the HIPPA lawsI now see Jerri as a therapist. I hate that my doctor Lauran went else where and they gave me a new one autumn I do not recommend here's whyOne she only wants to make money by giving you pills oh take this one now let's make you withdrawal and get off of it put and try something that I told her I am lashing out on people having manic episodes so then she said why don't we try adding well let's just say I didn't take it after speaking to my pharmacist and primary care doctor the drug could have caused me to go into a coma due to other health reasons. So I called and talked to someone very helpful and understanding and there giving me a new one they better pray he won't do the same or I am going back to my primary doctor to get my meds

I would say a good 80% of the staff at this place over the years have been absolutely terrible in my opinion. I went there all of my early teens until late teens and, even some after that due to no other options. I had multiple doctors overmedicate me which led to later physical health issues I will forever have. They do nothing but set you up with a therapist that you will not see more than once a month...Give you 2 mediocre sessions with them and then you are told that your therapist is either leaving the agency or there's some other issue for why you are now being see up with a new therapist. Again and again this happened. I have known few wonderful therapists that have worked here and all that have.. leave to work somewhere better. Most of these people are undertrained and underqualified. So many people in our community have been hurt, traumatized and neglected by this mental health office. Why is NO ONE doing anything?

Worst place to go... never keep appointment. Some people there think they know everything and refuse to listen even when you are just trying to get better. I would go months without appointments and what they just did to a friend of mine who needed to be admitted for mental health is unforgivable so if you want to be serviced for a week or two and then transfered to another person and have to go through everything Over and over .. go here. I will never go here again!

well, from what I have seen this place is stupid. They may have good days, but what they put their staff through is outrageous, unethical, and they have no idea how to create a stress free work place so that clients receive the best care possible. I put one star cause it doesnt allow me to put NONE. This place needs a serious overhaul. And then after hours emergency service is handled by staff who have already worked full shifts during the day. How can I get quality care when the people caring for me are burned out. I mean everything is outsourced these days. How difficult would it be for them to hire a dedicated staff for after hours. They have to pay staff for the work anyway. My gosh. Are they going to do something about it or what? Or does a serious complaint need to be filed with the state.

Go for therapy, I see Amanda, she is one of the best therapist I've ever seen. Bonus she has a service dog, Yoshi, that tags along. The receptionist Tina is also the sweetest she is so kind and gentle.
