If you want to sit and wait for an hour or two to get your dose because they refuse to hire another nurse or open another dosing window or any other minor issue that holds up the window for half a day while the line stacks up to 40+ patients then it’s perfect for you. If you have a life or a job or anything like that then I don’t recommend.
My personal opinion is your wasilla front desk employee Michelle is a god sent and she deserves a raise. A medal and anything she wants!!!

Hello Sam! Wow, thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Wasilla front desk teammate, Michelle. We are so happy to hear that she has made such a significant impact on your experience. Your kind words will certainly be passed along to her and the team. 
Amazing staff all around. Every counselor I have had was phenomenal, caring and what I really liked was that they had experienced hardship or addiction first hand, so they really knew the struggles. The office staff is great. Michelle is awesome, she's fast, witty and professional. I say professional because on many occasions, I've seen her deal with unreasonable, ornery and straight up rude patients, and she did it calmly, with a smile on her face. Adam is great too. The nursing staff is amazing. Leah and Rosie are a breath of fresh air in the morning. They always have a smile on their faces and seem to genuinely care about the well-being of their patients. I strongly recommend CMS to anyone struggling with addiction.

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.
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 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.
The process of ridding your body of addictive substances under the 24/7 medical supervision is known and medically assisted detox. In an inpatient setting, a team of licensed medical professionals may include doctors, nurses, therapists, and clinical experts. The team will monitor the physical effects of withdrawal and help keep you as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
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
Basic techniques for motivational interviewing include open ended questions and reflective listening. The therapist helps you come to your own conclusions about making changes in your life without coercion or judgment.
During trauma therapy, you address traumatic memories within a supportive environment guided by your therapist. This helps you develop healthier coping mechanisms and reduces the emotional impact of the trauma. Overall, it improves your mental health and well being.
