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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient programs 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. Outpatient services can start as early as infancy with their infant mental health interventions and can serve young adults up to 26 years old.
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.

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

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
