Here doctors prescribe meds like it was candy. The online wait time estimate is not even close to the real wait time, so that is basically a joke.

Latest Reviews
NEGLECTING PATIENT CAREI am writing this review to express my deep disgust and disappointment with the care I received from Dr. Joseph Eisenschenk at M Health Fairview Clinic on November 13, 2024. I scheduled this visit to establish primary care and discuss holistic approaches to my health, as advised by a clinic receptionist who suggested I book a physical appointment.However, the moment I mentioned my interest in natural remedies, specifically ivermectin for skin concerns, Dr. Eisenschenk s demeanor changed drastically. His face turned red, and he immediately became dismissive and abrupt. I felt rejected and belittled, as if my concerns and preferences for my own health were completely disregarded due to his personal biases. It was clear to me that he was not interested in exploring options that didn t align with his own views.What was most disheartening was that I had come to this clinic seeking compassionate care and open dialogue about my health. Instead, I was met with hostility and judgment. I specifically requested a topical 1% ivermectin cream and guidance on its safe use, but rather than engaging in a conversation or offering alternatives, Dr. Eisenschenk shut down any discussion. I felt utterly dismissed, with no effort made to understand my concerns or offer any real solutions.I am deeply disgusted that a healthcare professional would allow their personal feelings to override a patient s genuine concerns about their health. A human being s health should be valued above all, and yet, in this clinic, I was treated as if my questions were irrelevant and my well-being was unimportant.Despite the fact that ivermectin is FDA-approved and safe, Dr. Eisenschenk refused to even consider it. It felt as though any mention of holistic or natural approaches was enough for him to shut down and refuse care entirely. In my view, this clinic appears to prioritize pharmaceutical solutions over patient-centered care, which is incredibly concerning for anyone who prefers integrative approaches to their health.To make matters worse, I overheard a nurse expressing dissatisfaction with the clinic s environment, raising further concerns about the quality of care here. This experience left me feeling completely unsupported, disrespected, and dismissed.If you are looking for a healthcare provider who genuinely cares about your health and respects your preferences, I would strongly caution against M Health Fairview Clinic. Patients deserve to be heard, respected, and treated with compassion, regardless of their chosen approach to health. And you will NOT GET HELP HERE ESPECIALLYIF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT ANYTHING NATURAL AND NOT CHEMICAL PHARMACEUTICALLS REMEMBER THESE DOCTORS ARE PAID TO PUSH THESE THINGS!!!! HE PROVED THAT TO ME
They will cancel your appointment and force you to reschedule for weeks later then cancel and make you reschedule again for being 3 minutes late after waiting an additional week to be seen. You people and this clinic are the worst.
Terrible response. I was referred to this clinic for an ob procedure. On my way, I got stuck in traffic and arrived 10 minutes after. They canceled and told me to reschedule. Reception said they have no access to reschedule me, I had to call. I was on the line for 30 minutes and no call. If you know you will be late, just reschedule. This clinic has no grace whatsoever. I was stuck in traffic for 14 minutes plus my 20 minutes of drive time. I called front desk on my way to say I would be running behind. They transferred me to the ob department, no one picked my call until I got there. Got there and they canceled .

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 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 Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
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
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.
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.
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.
