Accepted Insurance

Centers for Youth and Families – Independent Living works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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

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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

I am considering a lawsuit because I can't have children that become concerned every time we go there. Parents and case-workers have no communication. They hire college students and that means they have no experience whatsoever. The place is filthy

This place, staff is a complete joke. I had a doctor s appointment that I made admission staff very aware of. Instead of them communicating amongst themselves they were taking turns calling me asking how long I would be. Upon arrival to the facility it was very uncomfortable, unprofessional and very difficult. No one greeted me in a professional manner. The secretary continued to stare at me like she seen a ghost. Not once did she acknowledge me by name. She called back to the nurses station & said she s here they were joking, laughing while on the phone. Very rude. A couple staff members were prepared to take the necessary precautions to assist me but when my daughter said out her mouth she didn t want to be there, the nurse immediately said well the mother can take her home or send her back to acute. Not even listening to me or my authority of her needing treatment. I wouldn t dare recommend a parent to this place.

Honestly, this place is disappointing! I was here for 5 1/2 months & was basically isolated from the entire world. We went on 3 outings in the span of my 5 months. The food was ATROCIOUS!! It was always containing gravy & chicken, snack was almost the same everyday. We once got cinnamon teddy grahams for a week straight for both evening & night snack. They gave us beef stew in a styrofoam BOX!! No cup or bowl. The only utensil we received was a spoon. Only a spoon... not even a spork! Even when we got spaghetti, we had to eat with a spoon. Btw, it's VERY hard to eat foods like that with a spoon. They constantly messed up our diets. Kids with gluten or fruit allergies constantly got what they were allergic to on their "trays". The building is basically falling apart. Mold EVERYWHERE!! Even the bathrooms. Holes in the walls, chipping paint, broken doors. THREE girls were able to run away in my stay there. Multiple staff laid hands on patients here & were not punished for it. Male staff constantly disrespected us female patients. (all female facility)! You go outside once a day. Twice if you're lucky. TV is heavily restricted down to PG Disney plus. *ads included* since centers is too "lazy/busy" to get us w/o ads. I had to wait a whole MONTH before I could see my family!! The best thing about this facility was my therapist & a few female staff. Please think about sending your teens to another facility. This one isn't in the best conditions.

We finally found our therapeutic home we trust. I have not had someone work with my child like her new lovely, sweet, compassionate, and very trusting. I haven't met a staff member who has been rude at all! Safe place to talk

To the people who rated this 5 stars, you should honestly be ashamed of yourself. I was put there as a child, and let me tell you, it is an awful experience. The therapy is quite awful, and if you have good insurance they will do anything to keep you there. I am still reliving the constant trauma from being in a place that views you like a check rather than a human being that needs help. If your visitor brought you a gift they d take it away and would deny you access to it for 2+ months. The food was disgusting, sometimes even over or undercooked. The showers had mold growing in the corners. I not only went to the stay part of the facility but I was apart of the day treatment area as well. Day treatment was just as bad as living there, a kid once threw an entire desk and chair at another kid. The amount of teenagers that would run away off campus was the reason they built the wall. And your child is at constant risk of being attacked by a venomous snake, and they took snake reports with a grain of salt. This place isn t god sent or helpful, it is a living nightmare and it is the literal depiction of hell.
