About Perimeter Beacon Behavioral Hospital
Beacon Children’s Hospital offers several addiction programs and services, including mental health assessment, diagnosis, counseling, inpatient dual diagnosis treatment, outpatient treatment, and medication management.
These assessments help staff determine the severity of addiction and whether a patient has any co-occurring mental health disorders. Following an assessment, the clinical team creates an individualized treatment plan and supports the patient’s recovery with individual and group counseling.
Residential dual diagnosis treatment uses evidence-based practices to treat addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Available for adolescents and adults, treatment begins with a mental health assessment and development of an individualized plan of care. Patients may attend individual and group therapy, as well as support meetings.
An assessment with the on-site psychiatrists can help to determine if medication may be supportive in the rehabilitation process. Patients meet with a psychiatrist several times for an assessment, diagnosis, and creation of a treatment plan. During treatment, patients meet with a psychiatrist at several intervals to determine progress and adjust medication as deemed necessary.

Personally, idk abt evb else but I absolutely loved this place and didn’t wanna leave. Idk if most of yall are used to more freedom but I usually don’t like my home, and the head nurse Jessica showed me that she really did care for me and treated me well and I’m glad to see that she’s okay, I hope she knows I do miss her alot she’s basically a second mom to me out of anything, and I wish the best for her. I loved mr grant he was so kind and silly and always liked Miss Mo. The only thing I didn’t like was one of the night ppl I was here like 2 times. And tbh I’d always come back if I could. Miss yall

Gonna have to say this was a pretty traumatic experience for me an my child. First thing they did was abruptly stop all my chikds meds which is a big no no for anyone to do. Then put her on other meds within 48hours. The doctor who i asked to speak to many many times(they never let me speak to him or received a call back) why hes changing my kids medicine she went into full blown withdrawals and rebound psychosis 3 days after they discharged her because they abruptly stopped giving her the meds the psychiatric facilities had her on for the past 2.5yrs. Some of the staff seems nice but they are not medical proffesionals by any means. Sadly the only other behavior facility near us has an ongoing lawsuit for child abuse so I figured this was the better option but two weeks after discharge an my kid cant return to school due to what he did to her medication routine. Do not let doctor shah mess with your child's medication.
I repeat the staff is nice an they have great therapy exercises for the patients but medically. I wouldnt take any advice from them.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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
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
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 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
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 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.
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.
Rehab treatment in Alabama often involves motivational interviewing (MI). This is an evidence based approach that helps you discover your own interest in change. You'll decide for yourself what next steps you're willing to commit to in order to reach your goals.
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.
During family therapy, you'll address the impact that addiction has had on the family unit. Family therapy fosters open communication between members to help resolve conflicts and create a supportive environment. This helps to improve relationships and therefore aids in the recovery process.
Proper nutrition increases comfort levels during detox and supports healing during drug rehab in Alabama. Nutrition therapy provides this crucial, balanced nourishment and helps you develop skills for long term health throughout recovery.
