CenterPointe Hospital Addiction Treatment

CenterPointe Hospital, located in Saint Charles, Missouri, provides behavioral health services for adolescents and adults. They offer age specific residential, inpatient, and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), including a special program for seniors. They accept private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, financing plans are available.

They offer two levels of on site treatment, including acute inpatient and residential care. Of the two, acute inpatient treatment is more intensive. It’s designed for clients who are experiencing an emotional crisis and need to be stabilized immediately to make sure they don’t harm themselves or others. Both programs include services to help clients overcome their addictions or dual diagnosis concerns, such as medication management, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and on site medical detox. Residential treatment also incorporates evidence based and holistic therapies, like individual, family, and group counseling sessions, 12 step programming, relapse prevention training, recovery focused education, and activity therapy. You can also practice yoga, meditation, and journaling for inner reflection.

If you don’t need inpatient treatment but could still benefit from more structure than a general outpatient program (OP) provides, then you may be interested in their IOP counseling services. These usually require a commitment of three hours a day, three times a week, for around four to six weeks. You’ll visit the facility in person to attend the sessions, which may be held one on one, with a group of your peers, or with your family members.

One thing that caught my eye about this facility is their dedication to the aftercare part of recovery. They recognize that treatment doesn’t end when a client exits their program, and that they may need extra support to maintain their sobriety and healthy habits out in the real world. They offer bi-weekly group support meetings that are open to all alumni. Their topics can vary, but they tend to focus on how to sustain recovery, prevent a relapse, build healthy relationships, and discover a sense of purpose.

Perspectives on this facility are mixed, with some clients praising the Hospital for its compassionate care and dedicated service. Others claim to have had difficulties communicating with the staff members and did not feel that their experience in the program was beneficial to their recovery journey.

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.

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.
