About Carl Albert – Mental Health

Carl Albert is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic located in Mcalester, Oklahoma. These types of clinics were formerly known as Community Mental Health Centers. This program accepts Medicaid. Carl Albert provides locally based mental health and substance use services for children, adolescents, and adults.

In this program, you will have access to nine different types of services that can include, but not limited to, individual and group therapy, case management, and intensive outpatient programming. One thing that stands out to me about this program is that they integrate primary health care into this setting and coordinate with local medical partners. You’ll also have access to 24/7 crisis services if needed.

In many ways, Carl Albert is also a local gateway to additional services. Through them, you can be referred for treatment for DUI, children’s services, and other case management. They also offer outreach opportunities to involve the community and promote a positive view of mental health and substance use disorders.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients seeking care in an outpatient rehab are often stepping down from intensive inpatient treatment or have chosen to remain in their home while in treatment. Outpatient programs offer a variety of services to provide clients with a full continuum of care. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are high frequency and intensity services for clients who require robust structure, supervision, and support. Outpatient treatment typically consists of psychotherapy, recovery education, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body after you've become physically dependent is through a medically assisted detox. Usually performed in an inpatient setting, a team of licensed medical professionals are tasked with monitoring your health and helping to minimize the risks and physical discomfort caused by withdrawal symptoms. Medically assisted detox is often the first step in the recovery process. After your body is safely free of substances, you'll likely transition to an inpatient treatment program to continue your recovery.

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

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.

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.

4th time I went to the crisis care center at carl albert they were very rude to me and the police, they said they had more important people that really needed to be there, like I don't matter, I guess, me taking medicine is for attention and imaginary, I rather have died than go there, I'm in norman now, if I had any other mental problems, I probably would never go to another hospital again, because other people need the space, not me, I rather die, They don't care about you, I don't even like police,

I had put in a good review for this place at one point, I take it all back. The adult facility is good; but all the children's facilities have poor communication internally, poor communication with the parents, push mental health drugs on pre-teens and treat the parents with complete disrespect. The first time they did something absurdly upsetting in regard to my child, I wrote it off as an individual caregiver, but it's clearly a problem that stems from higher up because the issues are consistent across therapists/aids

Went here for about 3 years for outpatient therapy and group therapy. The groups mostly were for older people so always felt very out of place. The regular counseling appointments I had that were one on one never really helped me cause they'd only spend 15-30 minutes with me and always acted like it was an inconvenience that I was there. As soon as I'd get to know my therapist, they'd change me to a different color team and my therapist would get changed. They always wanted me to video chat on zoom with my psychologist to get meds changed or see how they were working. The nurse who draws blood, I think her name is Guardey or Gordy, is extremely hateful and mean. She tried many separate times and separate appointments to draw my blood and was never successful and always made me feel like it was my fault she couldn't do her job. There was another therapist that was so rude she made me and my sister cry. The only good thing about this place was the lunches they'd give during group therapy and the sweet front desk ladies. I really hope it will change someday. Mental health matters.

Why did the bald headed psychologist tell me people would think I'm weird or odd. I've had alot of trauma in my life and feel the psychologist was out of line for saying that to me. I'm use to people saying negative stuff to me though.
