I'm an honest person. and when it comes to the doctor that I see here I feel like she doesn't listen to my feelings about medication. I tried expressing to her that some of the medications she's prescribing me doesn't work for me. And I wanted to try another medication but I feel like she's trying to make me look like a drug addict by telling me that we can try something else if the medication she prescribed me didn't work. and then tells me she's not gonna prescribe me what I feel like would be the best decision for my mental health. I try expressing my feelings to her but everytime I do I feel like she's not listening. I have anxiety and I've given the medication prescribed time to work. but she's still hesitant about trying other options I don't know what to do I have anxiety attacks daily and I feel like my doctor doesn't trust me. I honestly feel like I've lost my battle with my mental health I've been really honest but still can't get her to help me I feel like the doctors here don't take there clients seriously. I came here to get help not to be looked at as a drug addict/dealer.

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.

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.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient
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

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 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 thumbnail image
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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The therapists are great, but everyone else is either terrible or quitting. Their "doctors" change once a year as they're only on clinical rotation. My last doctor (who I saw for a year and then didn't say anything once his clinical rotation was up) told me he was going to help me with a very specific issue. He had been telling me that for about 4 months. Then Yuisa Perez came in to replace him. It's been another 4 months, and this very easy, very simple request has been deemed as "not necessary" by, again, "Doctor" Perez. Thank goodness I have options. Not everyone in that area who uses COCMHC is that lucky. Most have no insurance and no choice. It is the only option here. I feel terrible for the ones who are stuck. The doctors are practically useless and will treat you as a drug addict if you've ever been homeless. There are now only 2 case managers for the entire establishment. Avoid this place if you can.

Words cannot even BEGIN to express my gratitude for this place....as well as for the many people who have contributed to my rehabilitation who have worked here over the years. Mental illness recovery is a long, arduous process....and the people who choose to HELP OTHERS in that process are a very special group of people. Take my word for it. My sincere thanks to ALL OF YOU.

I got my son going to here because it was closer for him than Hope House in OKC. The issue I have is his case worker comes and goes.He has already had at least 3 or 4 (I have lost count) in the few months that he has been there. I don't know if they are not paying them enough or what. But bottom line is they don't stay. We had to fill out paperwork at least 3 times so they could talk to me regarding my sons issues. (Seems the paper always got lost) . Incompetence on their part. I am hoping things get better here, but my son is getting worse. He saw his new case worker this week and I guess nothing happened much. This guy was new trying to figure things out.

I used to see Marilyn Kring-Brockhaus, LCSW for therapy. I had a collegue, Nic Hackler, approach me who just happened to be getting supervision from her for their license. Nic knew many personal details about me that were told to them by Marilyn in their supervision sessions. According to Nic, Marilyn released my personal health information without my consent including my name. The information provided to me by Nic was information I had told Marilyn in therapy. She was simply gossiping with Nic about my mental health history because she knew we knew each other. If you value your privacy, go elsewhere.

We were sent to the Urgent Recovery Center next door when my 12 year old daughter had a mental health crisis at school and they were wonderful. They referred us here for counseling. We were hopeful that they could provide the help my daughter needs, but they have canceled on us TWICE. The first time the counselor was sick, which we would have been understanding about, but we were not made aware before our appointment so I checked my daughter out of school and spent my time and gas for nothing. Then today we were canceled on again because of no water. We also would have been understanding of this except our appointment was 6 hours away and I doubt it would take that long to get the water back on. Also, could they not have done it in one of the multiple other buildings this one time? Not looking forward to telling my daughter once again that her appointment was canceled and she will not be getting the help she urgently needs.
