Avoid this company at all costs. Horrible horrible company. The designated crisis responders have lied through their teeth about me and take my rights away. If I was able to sue them for slander I would. If I could give zero stars I would.

The counselours here made my trust issues and my life way worse than it even was before, now that i have a counselor that's decent who has actually helped, I am just now starting to trust getting help in this kind of setting again (6 years later!!!!! That's how long it took for me to even think about seeing a counselor again after coming here) DO NOT come here, ever. They will leave you with more issues than when you came in. I can't even explain everything that happened and what they did to me, just take my word for it, please.

The receptionists are very kind ladies, no doubt.However, I recently quit seeing my therapist because I wasn't getting the help I needed, after seeing him for four years. Therefore, I am changing my rating.Over the course of four years, I requested to be put on a housing list, I requested help getting a disability job, I requested my support animals be re-registered, I requested in-home assistance, I even made the incredibly simple request of joining Compass's art group, so I could meet new people while doing something I enjoy. The only request he was able to follow through on was getting me on antidepressants, and putting me in an anger management group that I struggled to get to because it meant I had to wake up 3 hours earlier than normal just to get on the bus.Over these four years, I was told multiple times that I, a severely depressed aspie with diagnosed severe anxiety, had to do things like a normal adult. I have autism. I was told to make phone calls to big important companies by myself, because "I can get you the numbers, but it's not my job to do it for you".In the last year or so of seeing him, I was told REPEATEDLY that my online friends either weren't real or didn't matter (mind you, these are my only friends because I'm autistic with diagnosed severe anxiety and depression, so in-person socialization is exceptionally draining and bad for my stress levels.), and that "at the end of the day, when you shut off the internet, these people aren't there, you're completely alone.During the appointment before my last, my therapist literally told me I "was right to be paranoid" that my SO in Illinois could be cheating on me, and "for all anyone knows", she's seeing a dozen other people behind my back, and all my friends are lying to me (even the man I've known for 14 years). This was after I told him I didn't appreciate him demeaning the only relationships I've been able to make in the past 12 years, and making me feel more insignificant and insecure about my long-distance relationship.He spent a year asking me the same question about my depression, even after I told him I hadn't felt suicidal in years, and hadn't had any urges to self-harm since taking the meds he gave me. The rest of the hour with him would also usually be spent talking about "what depression looks like" to me. He got the same answers every time, and would always end the session with "Alright, and next time we'll talk about something else". He didn't care about anything other than my depression, even though we were there to help with my autism and anxiety.If I told him something he did or said made me upset or uncomfortable (such as roleplaying stressful interactions), he pushed me and kept doing it.The fact he could never remember my name should have been a huge red flag.What's been bugging me the most, and the main reason I'm rewriting my review is what happened on the day I told him I was leaving.He asked me, and I quote,"Do you feel like we accomplished anything here, or did you just enjoy coming in and lying to me every other week?".You, sir, are an example of why all my friends are "virtual". What you said both about myself, and my girlfriend have been burned into my memory, and I will never forget how worthless you made me feel. I sincerely wish I had the confidence to quit ages ago.

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.

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

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 thumbnail image
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
program-for-men thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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 have experiences with Compass Health as a patient and as a member of the public who lives with a client of their who is part of their outpatient program. As a patient I was never able to connect with the councilors I saw and I found what I needed elsewhere. It felt like they were trying to rush patients in and out. Some of my counciling appointments we're only 20 minutes long. I get the feeling that it's all about numbers and not spending as much time as possible with each patient. It shouldn't be about the total number of people seen but the total number of people who received the help they needed. Now as a member of the public I have witnessed first hand that their outpatient program is a complete joke. I live with a person is part of this program and Compass is responsible for finding a place for them to live and also pays their rent. From what I've read the program is supposed to have a very involved team of councilors for patients and councilors make frequent check up on their patients at home in between regular appointments. I have lived with this person for a little over 3 months and I don't know her councilor hasn't been able to see that this person is doing absolutely nothing to try to improve their mental health. Actually they really only do things that worsen a person's mental health. This person started smoking meth in the house just a few days after moving in. I am a recoving addict and know the signs and smell when a person is smoking meth. Most of the time the house is filled with cigarette smoke which is a common way to try to hide the smell but I've also smelled burnt meth on it's own. I've been told by a member of their family and by several people she has had over that this person uses meth and they even have offered it to our other roommate. They have also engaged in criminal activity and been arrested twice since living here. This person has broke into my car and stole several things which my other roommate has seen in this person's room. Stolen mail has been found open and in this person's room as well. They are awake for days and days at a time which has led them to go into meth psychosis. The police had to be called during one where this person kicked my door open in the middle of the night while I was asleep and began to scream at me. Everything was reported to our property manager and they started the eviction process against this person. For whatever reason Compass sent their rental assistance for the next month and because of a miscommunication between the property manager and landlord the payment was accepted and now the eviction process has to start over. Either she is a master liar/manipulator or her Councilor is blind or even worse doesn't care and just does the least amount of work required to keep their job. From what I've seen first hand Compass Health has done nothing but enable this person to continue to abuse drugs and commit crimes with the money the state gave Compass Health to provide housing assistance to people who need it. I've been living in hell because of this and my own mental health has been greatly affected because of it. I don't blame Compass Health completely but their a obviously serious flaws that need to be corrected for who is given this assistance and with how much time is spent ensuring patients are doing things to improve their mental health so they are not a danger to themselves and others.

When I walked into the front office niether of the secretary s acknowledge me. One of them named Kate absolutely ignored me and kept on fixing her hair looked at me and yawned. Saddly enough for me and my schedule that wasn't the end of my Miserables treatment and unprofessional treatment at there hands. I was very patient and was made to wait no less than two hours just to be told that's how things worked around there. The place is a joke, the staff treats us like having a medical devices like as if we had the plague or some kinda choice in being a patient there. I came for help and was treated very poorly
