I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. my daughter just completed 4 months there and I can say her experience was not only pleasant but successful as well. they treated my daughter with respect and never said anything negative to her. if I thought for one minute that they were not doing anything to help her or if anything dodgy was going on I would have pulled her out immediately. the addition of family night was a great idea because it gives the families a chance to see what their loved one does at program. I also liked the fact that they kept all of her doctors in the loop. megan sajel ava jamilla cara and sam all went above and beyond for my daughter and i would highly recommend this program.

THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT SENDING YOUR CHILD HERE!!! THIS PLACE IS ABUSIVE. The director of this treatment center called my food choices crazy. The therapist told me my body type. They leave a scale out all the time for anyone to step on. Not at all an appropriate setting for an eating disorder facility. The staff would complain about running the therapy groups and would constantly sigh when it was their turn. Many patients have to leave the facility to be hospitalized because the treatment is just not good enough. They don t even have licensed therapists running most of the groups.. They throw on way too much responsibility on the children by having them cook their meals. The staff did not supervise well enough at the meals in the slightest. Patients throw out their meals without the staff even knowing because they don t pay attention. DO NOT GO HERE. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY PUT CHILDRENS LIVES IN DANGER. GO TO OVERLOOK CENTER!! SO MUCH BETTER!! IM ACTUALLY RECOVORING THERE AND IT HAS AN 80 PERCENT SUCCESS RATE! MUCH MORE SUPPORTIVE STAFF, SAFE ENVIORNMENT, AND AN AMAZING MEDICAL TEAM.

I would give this establishment 0 stars if possible. I visited for an interview regarding intake and was berated and humiliated for my weight. I was then redirected to their residential treatment center in Fairfield, Connecticut because I was "too advanced" for their treatment (that center was no better.) One of the most invalidating experiences of my life. Places like this make people not want to seek treatment. Do NOT go here. I hope the employee who interviewed me is fired.

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.

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

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Outpatient

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.

Treatments

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

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
