this is the detailed review for my grandfather John Mosbey Sir, the hospital emergency room was waiting for him as he was coming in with a badly infected toe, which had to be amputated, 4 doctors saw him immediately and all agreed that he needed fluids and many things to help him. Dr Carradine who did the amputation was very kind and respectful, he gave him two options to either save the toe or cut it off, he was in so much pain he decided to just amputate it. my grandpa was in the hospital for 6 days and everyone especially the nurses were very very nice and kind and treated him like apart of the family. the nurses specifically were Ms Jackie & Ms Kelsey. the dietary specialists were very nice and respectful as well. my grandpa had no issues with the stay at EJ. he loved everyone and everyone was very nice.

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.

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.

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 iconOutpatient
Clients enrolled in outpatient rehab typically need less intensive supervision and support than those in inpatient care. Clients may continue to work and attend school while participating in addiction counseling and recovery education during the evening, night, or weekend. Clients also often enter intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment immediately upon exiting residential care, which provides them with high-level step-down support as they reintegrate into their homes and communities.
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.

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.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
child-program thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

East Jefferson CCU. I can not humbly thank you guys enough for being such a caring, uplifting, and compassionate group of people. My heart truly goes out to you guys for the daily turn of events that happens in your unit and the patients, along with the families you come in contact with on a daily basis. My beloved uncle was admitted to your unit under critical care. My mother and I was always contacted with any new information around the clock with no problem. Our visits and discussions regarding my uncle's well-being on a daily basis was truly a experience we've never had. From every staff member to the doctors, the form of compassion and care for ones life that was shown to us by this unit was unmatched. No question was unturned nor not answered. Different projections of possibilities and reality of one's fate was all laid out on the table for understanding and to be accepted of realistic reality of one's condition. I can go on forever and explain our experience with these wonderful talented group in the CCU. Although my uncle's time was up to be sent to a better place. These group of staff members made it so much more possible to deal with. To the CCU in East Jefferson, ones words can not express enough the gratitude you have given our family and the comfort provided. I gratefully thank you with tears in my eyes for everything. Your job May not be easy but it surely is done with grace. May God bless you !

So what happened was, I brought my mom in because she was having problems with her gallbladder. I understand waiting time can be long. Once we were called, a nurse called 4 last names, ours being one, and just told us to go to room 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ours was room 1. I was also pushing the wheelchair which I think the nurse is usually supposed to do, and I was having trouble because it was such a tight space, which I understand. As soon as my mom got out of the wheelchair in this tiny tiny room, she tripped over the pedal, which again, not saying it's the nurses fault, but she was right behind me. And my mother fell and cracked a rib and was screaming in pain, and the nurse was like you need to get on the bed, which also I understand, but my mom needed a minute because she couldn't move, and the nurse just grabbed her, and was very rude and aggressive. We later found out my mom actually had cancer, and once the doctors found that out they moved us to a better room, which I think is very unfair to other patients, and my mom because they didn't seem like they cared at all, then once they found out it was cancer, they were acting more serious and being more kind, which you should always be kind working as a nurse or a doctor. It was a terrible experience, and I just did not feel like we were in a safe place at that moment.

Call center does not answer...Doctors hang up on you when you address them with a complaint....takes multiple calls from pharmacist as well as my self to get meds approved.... And today the suggestion was " well you can look for another primary care " becasue we are busy.Only bright side for my experience would be Dr. Malik and his nursing staff...The rest is worse then a fast food restaurant.Take that suggestion from their own staff and look elsewhere and avoid your frustrations while you are ill...thats bad enough as it is.

Several months ago, I delivered my gorgeous, healthy son at this location. The building was immaculate, the food was nourishing, and the attending nurses are angels who brought gifts, patiently advised, and checked on me, even off the clock. I did, however, take issue with Dr. Hanna s lack of sensitivity and professionalism, silencing me in arguably the most vulnerable moment of my lifetime. Overall, I felt secure in my visit and want to thank the majority of the staff who truly care and connect with the patients and visitors.
