I come here just because I have no other choice. I'm appalled by the things I have watched here. The treatment really is a joke. Some nurses try to do something good but the rest of them don't even try.

My wife was told to be there (EMD Danville) @7:30am for Kidney Stone removal surgery. At 9:00am she asked if everything was okay because we had been there so long without being seen. She was told to be patient. At 9:15am someone finally came out to explain that the doctor wasn t going to be there until noon and we were more than welcome to wait in the waiting room until then. We left and came back at 11:45 and signed in again. At 2:00pm she was finally seen and two short hours later she was in recovery. At 4:30pm she was released. The Doctor called and was very friendly and apologized several times. The Doctor said that the hospital was supposed to call and reschedule for noon and the hospital blamed the doctor. We spent eight hours there for an hour procedure and a half hour recovery time. This seems to be the mentality of the Health Care System as a whole. I m sorry it s unexceptionable to sit in a waiting room for hours especially with an appointment!! I m positive that doctors,nurses and hospital administrators expect fast friendly service while dining out or on time service from plumbers, electricians or other technicians. I m certain that they wouldn t understand someone wasting their time. Ephraim McDowell YOU FAILED. Do better please. Your time is no more valuable than anyone else s. Stop overbooking! Be Professional.

I was in a car accident years ago. They told me I had a crack in my tailbone and to walk it off. My pelvis was split in half. No pain meds and no help. They acted like I was faking my pain and when I asked them to check my cuts for glass they refused. I had to go get my hand cut back open due to the glass left behind. If you care for yourself or your loved one DO NOT COME HERE. They cannot be trusted to care for you. I wouldn t trust them with a goldfish at this point.

I m a nurse of 39 years having worked 60-72 hours a week every week all my life plus raise my daughters only 40 hours until they left for college. Often working 2 jobs. So I know how things are handled. During pandemic I worked at a Long Term Care facility where d I d been 6 years and a job I was able to retire at until I received mandatory flu vaccine after the COVID vaccines and contracted Giuliani Barre Syndrome-an Autoimmune disease caused by flu vaccine that attacks nervous system, muscular system and immune system making it highly susceptible to any virus or anything. My chest had swelling into my armpit & chest pains became so severe I drove myself having no one near to ER. I was put on a stretcher in hallway. I was given aspirin and steroids because myocarditis/pericarditis also side effects of vaccine were suspected but I was told I needed further test & treatments because left untreated would cause damage to my heart. Both my parents have lived well into their 90 s with no heart disease and I ve never had anything either. My blood pressure was 200 plus over 100 plus , can t remember actual numbers & they never documented on my discharge notes because I was released with it still being dangerously high &given a script for meloxicam. While there in open hallway after mentioned to several care givers I have GBS a woman approached saying I had no insurance & could set up payments even after o explained I was pulled from my job & my Short term disability just ran out. 2 rooms became available yet they wheeled a conscience Hispanic man into a room and told him to sign because he didn t have insurance his entire bill would be paid. Now if this isn t racism against a USA White working woman with a condition that could kill me o don t know what it is but yesterday I got a Covil Summons from an attorney James Vonsock suing me for $2,790 plus 6% interest saying for goods, wares, and merchandise. Laws in Kentucky Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) protect people like me in emergency situations and no insurance. So I m not sure how this will end but all US and State Congress and officials will hear my story and I ll write another review on here. Also I m still unable to work and placed on permanent disability.

Accepted Insurance
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
Inpatient 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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
