About BayCare Behavioral Health – King Helie Adult Treatment Center

BayCare Behavioral Health – King Helie Adult Treatment Center in New Port Richey, Florida, offers recovery services for adults. They promote your physical and mental health by helping you make wise decisions. Outpatient counseling for mental health and substance abuse issues is provided on weekdays by appointment. They also offer group and individual treatment that is based on your needs, strengths and abilities. They are CARF accredited.

Enhancing your quality of life and wellness are the goals of counseling services. Group therapy can help you learn about the problems you’re facing and give you a chance to discuss them with your peers.

Using a harm reduction strategy, their outpatient program offers peer recovery support, medication assisted treatment (MAT), individual and group therapy, evaluation and treatment planning. They also provide programs for special populations such as veterans, families with children in foster care and criminal justice or diversion.

For alcohol and opiate abuse, they provide a medication assisted treatment program. Buprenorphine or naltrexone is administered as part of the program. These medications can help stabilize withdrawal symptoms and lessen or completely eradicate cravings for opioid and alcohol. The MAT program at this facility does not offer methadone as a therapeutic option.

In order to help break the cycle of addiction and overdose, their coordinated opiate recovery program team collaborates closely with hospital emergency rooms and fire rescues to link individuals and families with the necessary treatment and community resources. These resources include addiction services, sober living support and transportation services for doctors appointments.

Accepted Insurance

BayCare Behavioral Health – King Helie Adult Treatment Center 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

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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.
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

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.

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

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.

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.

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.

Life skills are the core skills you need for daily success. They can include self care, stress management, daily routines, and emotion control. Rehab treatment includes the development of these skills so you have the tools you need for long term recovery.

Words cannot express my gratitude for this facility. From the moment I walked in to checking out and receiving my future appointment I was treated with upmost respect and care. Miss Brandi was my nurse and I was seen by Dr. Reipen and Dr. Fields. Not only were the professional but they were very kind and simply provided exemplary patient care. I look for to my next visit!

This place was HORRIBLE. Don t go here! I have had multiple encounters with this place. The most previous was my visit with a new psychiatrist (a therapist that could prescribe meds). I went into the visit and voiced my concerns. His heavy accent wasn t the problem. The guy was completely rude, talked over me, insulted me, and did not listen. I have been seeking treatment for years, and am clinically diagnosed with bipolar. The therapist was asking how I knew I had bipolar, questioning my diagnosis, and proceeded to list stereotypical symptoms. He told me to stop taking all of my medications, and/or tried to significantly decrease the doses. Not only was that unjustified, but it was also very dangerous and not professional. I was having issues with anxiety and needed to change my medication. I listed medications that I have previously taken and that did not work for me. He prescribed me one of those medications. I later on received a bill for a whopping $400 for the visit. I gave them my insurance at check in not only that, but I was a previous patient with the same insurance. They did not charge the insurance that I provided; it wasn t even ran through. Incompetent!! I sent a VERY angry email. Their care should ve been free because it was so horrible.I was also in a psych hold. The only thing we got to do all day was watch tv. We didn t even have control of the tv. We all sat in the room and talked; there was nothing else to do. No board games, no social groups, and NO THERAPY! Not even therapy groups!! Occasionally AA. What good is this place?! I went into see the psychiatrist. She began to talk about my personal life, then gave me a new diagnosis. Again, I have bipolar. She did not listen, and she was very rude. I began to have a psychotic episode and she came out of her office yelling, If you don t quit you ll never get out of here . Absolutely disgusting. Completely unprofessional. If this was government ran and not a capitalistic business, this place would ve been shut down a long time ago. The employees are careless and the nursing staff is rude. You ll just sit and rot in this place - the only thing that for me through those 5 horrible days were the 3 meals a day, which were reheated and premade since the building has no kitchen.You can leave multiple voicemails and they will never respond to you. Call the office and they won t answer. I would call multiple times in the day and no one would ever pick up the phone.I had an appointment with my therapist one day that the front desk made. The therapist didn t show up that day; Apparently, the therapist s and the front desk s computer systems weren t linked, so she was not scheduled. The therapist didn t make a follow up with me. Why would a therapist be in a building but now follow the company s system? Doesn t make any sense to me.

DO NOT come here.. no accountability whatsoever lemme tell you my story and see if you wanna waste your money here afterwards A year ago, I lost access to my meds through my previous telehealth provider the meds are controversial, but because of Covid, I was allowed to receive them through telehealth until those exceptions expired last October i think when I lost access, I had to find an alternative and I made one of the worst decisions of my life and that was trusting the people at baycare with my mental health So, I inform baycare of my situation and they took me on as a client while excluding some very important information from me they don t prescribe these meds under ANY circumstances so, I unknowingly try all these other medications and guess what they don t help after about 6 months, I start telling my doctor, hey this stuff isn t working the meds I had before WERE working can we go back to those? Nope so we keep trying the stuff that isn t working now it s been a year and I haven t been able to work this last month because my emotions are out of control I bombed a job interview cause I was acting funny I flipped out on one my best paying clients for one of my freelance gigs Both my counselor and my case manager which are also employees of baycare agree that these meds were created for a reason and that reason was to help people in my exact situation So I try and start holding some people accountable and guess who doesn t care in the slightest bit? That s right.. Baycare s administration staff I keep talking to different people all who tell me there s nothing they can do for me and I need to talk to someone else so I m trying to get to the final boss of supervisors to see if SOMEONE will listen to me .But they just .. don t . CareI really wish I would have considered all the other bad reviews I saw here before I wasted a year of my life and money at this horrible facility Best of luck to you if you see this and still decide to waste your time and money here a business with no concept of morality or even the slightest amount of effort when it comes to customer/patient serviceI posted a pic of the CEOs salary 4 million a year and you can t make sure your company can t do its job? Maybe we can get a class action suit for neglecting your patients

I cannot express how thankful I am for this place, and the doctors and staff working there. The ladies that Genoa pharmacy are amazing as well. I cannot express how much I love Dr Chris! His smile just brightens up your whole day, and you can really tell that he cares about every patient. I've been here for almost 2 years and I am absolutely thankful for each and every person here!! I'm not sure why they don't have five stars but I give them 10 Stars.
