Not as bad as reviews say, though there was no therapy. It s basically a place where people can stabilize before being sent elsewhere.

The main problem with this place is the doctors who add time to everyone who comes here. I was told by staff that I didn t belong here but I guess in my drunken state at the ER I said some things i shouldn t have. I understand that it is for severe cases and can respect that but sometimes people slip through the cracks who don t really belong there and should be treated accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Treatments

In California, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs offer comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Programs include medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. Using an evidence-based approach, clinicians utilize therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. Additional services include 12-Step recovery, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention to promote sustained recovery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

The main problem with this place is the doctors who add time to everyone who comes here.

I was here over 10 years ago, went in voluntarily and wasn't allowed to leave even though I was not on a psychiatric hold. I don't know how this disgusting place hasn't been shut down. In my time there, I was harassed by 3 different people, one being my roommate and they made fun of me, for being uncomfortable. Actively made me stay in my room because my absence was upsetting my roommate who was harassing me and attempting to touch me while I was in there for help with my own mental illness. I had a nurse tell me I was hallucinating when I found mass amounts of bed bugs crawling all over my bed and when I finally got another nurse to check, the room was so infested you could actually SEE the bugs everywhere, but I was the one hallucinating. Myself and my first roommate in my 7 day involuntary forced hold, were made to sleep on chairs in our lunch room for the female side, then we were verbally abused by the staff because we were unable to sleep on the chairs. One of the people who was harassing me? A male. Would constantly walk into the female side and stare through the widow on my door at me, I informed the nurses because it made me nervous and concerned and it was all brushed off that oh he's not a threat it's fine. That's not the point, I'm there to receive help, not be harassed and held hostage. I committed myself of my own free will and was forced to stay for 7 days, all they care about is money and not their patients that their supposed to be helping.

My experience: house supervisor Kelly M. Was rude! She was unprofessional and not supportive! Parents come here for help and she was explaining how she s in charge! No parent wants to hear that! How can you help us? There s a hospital need and the hospital needs to address this! Parents wait in the lobby up to two hours before being helped! Why can t staff start paperwork? Why wait this long for clinicians? Hospital what can you do to help parents, patients, and community!!!! We need hospital support not just the clinicians who have to travel! Front desk staff is amazing! Need a new house sup who cares more for families than her position! Come learn to be a graceful leader instead of hiding behind a phone!

This place is terrible! It s just a holding cell for people seeking mental health services. Unless you call coloring therapy? Dr Jenkins visits were nightly after ten pm. Once at midnight. He spoke to me in front of my roommates and i wasn t given meds for days. He violated my privacy rights! The hospital will do nothing about this matter. The food was awful. I got sick twice. Saltines for every snack. Do Not send your loved ones here. I had to receive more help after my stay. This place needs to be closed!!

I would give this place zero stars if I could. My uncle has autism spectrum disorder and was sent here because he needed help dealing with anxiety etc. Being on the spectrum, it should be general knowledge that he perceives things differently. He calls my mom at night and sometimes leaves horrific voicemails (if she didn t get to the phone in time) crying stating he s being abused by the night shift doctor and is so doped up on medication he s in a wheelchair, given shots stating he s being bad . They say he throws himself on the floor and is disruptive but truthfully he s always been so cooperative and hates conflict. My mom is calling his insurance company to inform them and also have him transferred to a different facility he s been to before where he was given the proper treatment and they put him on the proper medication which they have on file so he will get all he needs promptly and have a chance to feel better sooner. This experience is very traumatic for him and he ll need to see a therapist to work through it and recover.UPDATE: he wasn t able to be transferred, so my mom made sure to document everything and call everyday. They received medical records from his doctor he saw promptly after being released. It showed he had fractured ribs and deeply bruised knees. Also, another doctor had officially diagnosed him as having Asperger s.Protect your loved ones from facilities like these. They don t care about properly treating patients, it s all about the insurance money for them. If the insurance is good then they try to keep you for as long as your insurance will pay and release you once it no longer does. People aren t a dollar sign. They need REAL help, not given the wrong meds (knowing it s the wrong meds), kept doped up on meds and treated like unloved or uncared for animals. These patients are people WHO MATTER!! It enrages me to hear how horrible patients have been treated in facilities like these. Aurora is also a horrible place! In fact, it led to a series of other mistreatments and he later died in a hospital at 45!!! It s interesting how no one wanted to willingly give up his medical and treatment records this time around. What these facilities don t understand is that some patients have families or loved ones very close to them and we know them through and through so made up stories of their behaviors completely out of our loved ones character, isn t believed. Trying to cover up wrongful treatment doesn t work either and these voicemails still speak for him!
