This place was nice, all the workers were nice except Saundra the "psychiatrist". This (I can't even write down all the insults I have against this woman because I would probably get in big trouble) so-called "psychiatrist" would devaluate my traumas and put me on antipsychotics that literally ruined my life (now I have permanent movement disorders and impulse control problems). She would accuse me of being schizophrenic and bipolar plus she disrespected not only me but also my mother multiple times. She also told me all these threats just because I stopped taking medications that were giving me horrible side effects. She even prescribed me benzodiazepines despite my substance abuse history.
You get what you put into your recovery!! If you've read some of these negative reviews you'd see the common theme is NOT THIS PLACE, it's ADULTS CHOOSING TO BLAME OTHERS INSTEAD OF TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE THEIR OWN CHOICES AND CURRENT STATE IN LIFE!! Not every place nor person will be your fit but it's up to YOU to establish that right fit for YOUR needs!! If you want the help it's there. Don't fit with who your given REQUEST A SWITCH or BE PRODUCTIVE IN YOUR RECOVERY AND FIND ONE IT IS THAT SIMPLE!! The workers here DO NOT DISCRIMINATE NOR RACIALLY PROFILE, THEY DO NOT BABY YOU NOR SUGARCOAT YOUR ADDICTION, WHERE YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN SITUATION/LIFE, AND WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET!! I have had no problems with the staff in Smyrna nor Newark only have been given the truth about myself.!! YOU TAKE YOU WHEREVER YOU GO AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY GET HELP THAT IS WHERE IT STARTS AND ENDS WITH YOU!!
I am leaving this review here because Coras does not allow for reviews. I started here 10 months ago and had one dirty urine and that was upon intake.I should have several bottles by now but they continue to put unreasonable expectations. On clients who work 40 hours a week and have three children and are a single parent. They expect me to do 3-4 hours of counseling when the counselors they have had to have an 80 person caseload and can t even see you for 15 minutes without being interrupted five times. It s just not feasible. ! I ve done everything I m supposed to

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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.
Intensive Outpatient Clients may enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) immediately following detox or after completing inpatient treatment. IOP programs involve a step-down approach in which treatment frequency and intensity gradually decrease until the client is stable enough to enter standard outpatient (OP) care. Most intensive outpatient programs offer a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 treatment hours. Therapeutic modalities typically include medication assisted treatment (MAT), psychotherapy, recovery skills training, and complementary care.
12-Step The 12 step program model has become standard in addiction recovery programs around the country. It combines peer coaching with spiritual development to address the root causes of addiction while providing those in recovery with robust, judgment-free support. Participants self-select a sponsor to guide them through their recovery journey, engage in regular group meetings, and "work the steps" to achieve healing emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth. Though 12 step recovery is spiritually-focused, religious affiliation is not required.
Aftercare Support Clients receiving services in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox or an inpatient treatment program. Aftercare programs provide customized, wraparound care to support recovery as a life-long process. Case managers, the recovery care team, and the client work together to identify and access services the client needs in order to support sustained sobriety.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Recovery is possible for those who complete drug rehab in Delaware. These programs specialize in providing an environment that encourages sobriety and a professional staff that provides the tools to overcome addiction. Participants receive a customized treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
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 Adult Program
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
When used in treatment sessions, cognitive behavioral therapy in Delaware has been shown to be an effective method to address a variety of mental health disorders, including substance use disorders. An advantage of this method is its ability to also address any co occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Delaware families focus on creating a supportive network for the individual in recovery during family therapy. Therapists work with your family to identify dysfunctional patterns and develop healthier ways of interacting. This can significantly improve the overall treatment outcome.
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.
Couples therapy typically involves five strategies. The therapist will get to know you, help you both identify your feelings, explore the past, find solutions to relationship issues, and teach you skills to deal with issues now and in the future.
Motivational interviewing is designed to strengthen your internal motivation to change. It's a method of communication that focuses on change, allowing you to reflect on your current circumstances and draw your own conclusions about the next steps you need to take.
The focus of trauma therapy in Delaware is on healing your emotional wounds from traumatic events you have experienced. Your therapist guides you through the process of confronting these memories and integrating them, which improves your emotional resilience and your mental well being.
