Medical briefcase icon 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.

Heart icon Treatment

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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 iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

I love my therapist Victoria, and Dr. Lundvall! They are the best team around. Ask for them if you have to go there.

I've never had a negative experience here. Everyone that I've talked with has a wonderful personality and taken time to make me feel welcomed. My visits have always been on time. Even with the phone call visits, they are helpful, professional and courteous of my time. I am very thankful for them!

Anesha Holmes MSN, APRN, PMHNA-BC does not care about her patients. She has stated openly on the internet she has committed felonies by stating, "That's when they get that nurse's dose." That is unethical, criminal, and harmful. Not only should she no longer be employed here, her license should be pulled, and any patient that has ever been under her care make sure you check your medical record history!

I see Dr lundvall and Ms Neal and they are wonderful. However Natasha Dr Lundvalls nurse the complete opposite. When you need medication she never answers the phone always straight to voicemail and then she won't call in your medication or call you back. Karma

This place was a total and wonderful surprise. My daughter was having several days of severe panic attacks. While this center is not geared for the services she needed, they went above and beyond to help her bc they "just did not want to see her leave without getting help". Karlie A. and Loradez T. worked for hours to get her set up with a virtual session. She walked out of that session with Dr. Davis and said it was the best talk she had ever had with a therapist, and she felt respected. The entire staff was kind and professional. The 3 folks mentioned by name were instrumental in her getting help. These folks care. And they don't just want to help--they take act and DO help. In an underfunded, overworked, and underappreciated profession, they are the better angels among us. Thank you so much for helping us today.

Horrible service to the disabled. No braille in sight for the blind. No staff assistance. Staff did not answer questions effectively to me being blind and expected I can see when I am a documented blind person.

Incompetent doctor and staff encounter. Medication not properly prescribed. Update month 4The center does not have the structure or mentorship needed in my case. I m healing through my own will. My voice has been neglected by those in contact with me. The place doesn t treat me as if i am responsible for my human rights but yet offers no assistance in the real world. They treat me incompetently but leave me to be responsible and mature in my life outside of appt 1 hour sessions. MD difficult to contact or trust.They control meds but no teaching no support financially or educationally. It does not work for high functioning individuals like my self.

I see there's a lot of negative reviews so to ease anyone's mind who is deciding on going or not going. I want to share my positive experience in hopes that you seek help if you need it. I had a wonderful experience at Columbia Area Mental Health. I went in for emergency services. Staff was very nice & friendly. After my intial assesment I was even able to get my follow-up assesment the same day which was very convient. After leaving I was given an appointment to see a doctor the next week. I'd suggest going early and setting aside a couple hours just in case they are busy. Very happy with the service and would recommend going if you are having doubts.

The staff either needs training or a complete overhaul. Because the lack of professionalism is astounding. You spend 10mins plus waiting on hold to have your call answered by somebody who's attitude is so rancid you would have thought you did something to them personally, only to be transferred without warning to someone else with an even more disturbing attitude.

Their bathroom In waiting room don t work properly. They have a note stating if the bathroom needs attention let the ppl upfront know. So I did. It doesn t flush properly like you ll flush but it comes right back out. The floor has a drainage hole and I can see the water coming up. I told the ppl upfront and said they ll let someone know. The next month the toilet has the same problem. Now when that toilet has stuff left in it and start giving issues I don t want to hear about it.
