Went to Dekalb for my husband s procedure and the staff was great! Only downside is the seating for the family. More comfy seating would definitely get that extra star!

I recently had a surgery that included an overnight stay at Dekalb Regional Medical Center. I honestly can't say enough good things about the care I received while I was there. The doctors and nurses were super responsive if i needed anything, everyone was friendly with a pleasant bedside manner that really gave me & my husband peace of mind to allow him to be able to go home for the night without and rest without worrying about the level of care i would receive. Everyone that was involved from arrival to departure took the time to come by and introduce themselves, let me know what their role would be and answer my questions. Thank you for the excellent care and providing reassurance and comfort during a stressful process.

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.

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

inpatient iconInpatient
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wife was in the ER tonight and Dr reddy Deepak kolagat got really rude an hateful with my wife and told her not to come back to the ER cuz she can't got use the bathroom due to a infection. This hospital is trash ans they need to hire real Drs that care about the patients and that will listen to them an there symptoms then treat them the right way. I rather I've the hospital no stars and I will probably start taking my wife to a different hospital to get the right care that she needs

The emergency department is dirty sat in there for 4 hours it never got cleaned even though people had bodily fluids on the furniture. The emergency dept is a joke instead of trying to figure out what is wrong they accuse people of being pill seekers. It's amazing when you can go one town over and they admit you into the hospital for the same problem you were told nothing was wrong with you. If I could give this hospital a zero I would I thought after HH bought it it would change but it hasn't. Don't waste your money or your insurance money here go somewhere else

I had an unexpected trip to the ER, and I want to express my deep appreciation for the care I received. Kayla at the front desk was incredibly comforting and compassionate when I needed it most. The entire team, including Dedra, RNP, the phlebotomist, and the rest of the staff, treated me with dignity and showed genuine empathy for my situation. I m truly grateful for their kindness and professionalism.

I had shoulder surgery last week and my experience at Dekalb could not have been better. From the quick friendly registration staff to the very attentive and caring nurses and physicians this was by far the best hospital experience I have ever had.

Will not see you unless you've got insurance. I didn't even get a pillow on my stretcher when I went two days ago for shortness of breath and neck pain. Dr spoke maybe 2 minutes and told me to just go see my primary care. Didn't do bloodwork or anything. Still having major issuesSeptember 2024 addition: Went in for massive outbreak of hives that just blew up in minutes, wanted to get it treated ASAP in case it was evolving into anaphylaxis. Dr. Saw me MAYBE 2 minutes l, had the personality of wet cardboard, and it seemed like it pained him to even be there. 2 minutes and an $1100 bill along with putrid bedside manners. Abysmal.
