Detox
DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL!!!!! My husband and I went there a little under a year ago. We actually met there. They were wonderful. They did groups, you were seen about help, and they took their jobs seriously. Flash forward to this year, I had him admitted to get help before ...

Hello, Jeffrey. So glad to hear this terrific feedback! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Take care.
My daughter was admitted for 7 days back in June. This was the 1st time I was at a lost as a parent. She had a complete breakdown before being admitted and i had no choice to admit her. She did ok. They got her on medicine that has helped a ton. I will say they didn't send her home with all her clothes or pillow that she went in with and when I called they said if they find it they would mail it. I didn't hold my breath.

BLOOMING DEADOWSbloomington meadows is easily the worst hospital or medical facility in the bloomington, madison county, and indiana area. It is something i have only realized after talking with so many medical professionals, medical workers from other hospitals, and other patients that this it is a well known fact that meadows is awful. Their handling of reviews, reports, and complaints goes about as well as the hospital itself. I personally cannot wait to get my own automated response from the "owner" that says to add this complaint to the list by calling the phones. The same phones that wouldn't let parents talk to their children; the same phones that people complain about more than anything; the phones that I personally saw employees ignore during my stay. In my one week stay i saw at least 10 different complaints go in through 3 different mediums. I'm writing this review for the people because I KNOW it doesn't get to the people in charge. if i had to categorize why this place should be inspected, i would have 3 categories: cleanliness, staff treatment, and resources. i have already detailed what i experienced in my one week stay at meadows. this is what i wrote.Rancid Facility-Fruit Fly infestation-Fruit flies emerging from every sink and every trash can-Fruit flies contaminating half of the food on a tray during every meal-Dead mouse outside of the kitchen door (within 10 feet of the kitchen)-Staff did not properly clean our rooms and bathrooms-Staff did not know how to properly clean up vomit-Staff did not know how to properly use a swiffer wet jetPoor Treatment From Staff-Nurses and techs clocking in and complaining about working on this side -Nurses and techs would refuse to get us water, hygiene kits, doctors and more-Nurses and techs would interrupt our phone calls if we complained about the hospital-When a patient requested a doctor for peeing blood, the Nurse replied with drop the attitude -New nurses with one month of experience would practice drawing blood on us when we needed our blood drawn-When getting blood drawn, people were pricked 4-5 times, veins burst (at exponentially higher rates to black patients), and patients were left to clean their own blood off themselves.-Patients would sexually and verbally assault women and wouldn t be moved to the other side by nurses until seven women put in complaints (out of the 15 or so he assaulted)-A patient went unresponsive in the day room and no nurses got up to check on her. When other patients (myself included) yelled at them to get her an ambulance or check her vitals, they did nothing. It wasn t until myself and four other patients were screaming at the nurses desk to get the unresponsive 19 year old girl an ambulance. This happened to her on multiple occasions. This is how I knew the nurses did not care about our lives.Lack of Help-In one week I received two 5 minute therapy sessions-I saw one dietitian on day 5. I was already 5 days without eating and without sleeping. I was given one 4oz ensure shake on day 6, this was my only full meal. I lost 10 pounds in a week.-I talked to the psychiatrist once but she was very informative and [earned the one star on this review]-Medication was not properly or consistently given to me in this environment. I would consider this my second and a half week unmedicated.-I was not discharged with medication, or with making sure I had medication available, or that my insurance would cover my medication-I had to be on the phone with insurance, CVS, and Bloomington Meadows all of Thursday and Friday immediately after my discharge. I am only able to get half of my medication. [redacted]i pray for anyone who goes to this place willingly or unwillingly.

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
Outpatient If you need some flexibility and choice when it comes to your recovery, outpatient rehab programs are a great option because they do not require intensive inpatient treatment. Clients remain in their own homes and may continue to work or attend school while in active treatment. Outpatient treatment typically includes addiction counseling and continuing recovery education, including courses in self-care and relapse prevention. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available in many treatment centers for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.
Inpatient 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.
Intensive Outpatient Persons who require high-level support but who do not wish to leave their homes or communities may enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Clients typically commit to a minimum of nine treatment hours across three therapeutic sessions per week, but many programs offer up to 20 hours of care weekly. Most intensive outpatient rehabs provide a combination of psychotherapy, recovery education, and holistic care. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is widely available for those in alcohol or opioid recovery.
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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 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
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.
Qualified therapists in Indiana use a customized treatment approach for individual therapy to address your drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This considers your past history and life circumstances to help you uncover the underlying issues that trigger addictive behavior and manage these factors to support a healthy approach to recovery.
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.
