My daughter tried to go here. They were not willing to accommodate her needs at all. Her therapist didn't understand her personality and was very rude to her. My daughter has a special personality and needs to be understood.

OK For context, I was in Cbc from December 12Th 2022 till May 11th 2023 during my stay at Cbc there were a lot of ups and downs. People had their good days in their bad days. I did see a lot of fighting yelling people cussing each other out, etc. but I did also get to see the good side I was put on a DBT unit 200 my second day there I was one of the fortunate people who got to stay on 200 my entire stay Cbc does habits downfalls people have their good days and their bad days. People cussing each other out and yelling can be overstimulating but from my time there, I also saw people working together to help bring people out of panic attacks, support one another, vent to one another I was in there for depression and suicidal ideation I had went to 10 Impatient before I ve been out of Cbc for almost 2 years now and I am very proud to say I haven t gone back to an impatient stay Some of the wonderful people I got to work with that I would like to give shout out to are the following Patti,Amy, Julie, Brooklyn, Luis Karen also lovingly known as care bear and Shawna And Paula They were all the biggest part of my journey. Amy was my therapist. Patty was the main woman who worked on 200 unit. She was like a mother/grandmother to me Luis, who rarely worked on 200 taught me how to laugh while being depressed I d like to thank everyone at Cbc and the friends I made in the time I was there even though I shouldn t have you take your kid here. Please know that they will have bad days, but in the end cbc definitely showed me the light at the end of the tunnel or at least how to find it when I m stuck in the darkness

Hi, Joanna. Thank you for taking the time to give our staff a shout-out! Hearing kind words and sentiments such as these are always so meaningful. We will be sure to forward your positive messages along to our team. Take care, and we hope you are well!
I went to this facility a year ago and stayed for five months. With my personal experience, Columbus Behavioral Center is a horrible place for support and/or help. If you are a resident who does not show improvement after a few months, staff and some therapists scold you and often make threats to send you to state hospitals or places of higher treatment. Staff are often judgmental of residents, residents are judgmental of others, and nothing is done about it. False promises are made- which is not the greatest thing to do with minors who likely already have issues with trust. If you are not a compliant child, you begin to feel hopeless and as if you will never improve because you are treated as so. Now, to be fair, I see how many kids would improve with behavior posterior to leaving, but I believe this is because they fear returning to a hell like this facility. It is not because their mental health has improved, in fact, I dare to say that for many, their mental stability has decreased prior to the time before their admission.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient 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.
Outpatient If you need some flexibility and choice when it comes to your recovery, outpatient rehab programs are a great option because they do not require intensive inpatient treatment. Clients remain in their own homes and may continue to work or attend school while in active treatment. Outpatient treatment typically includes addiction counseling and continuing recovery education, including courses in self-care and relapse prevention. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available in many treatment centers for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.
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
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
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
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
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.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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.
