This place is rampant with abuses! Your child will come out worse then when they went in. The success stories are far and few between. Be very sacred for your child here.
I am still a kid but let me share my story, I was sent here at the age of 8 years old. They were terrible a staff member Ivan one day got mad at me grabbed me by my shirt and shoved me against the wall face first and kept rubbing my face against the wall back and forth non stop eventually he stopped but he dragged me to a room tiny room concrete floor no door handle on the inside they could have locked me in there if they wanted. Finally I got to call my dad I begged him to take me back but I was to scared to tell him what they did to me day after day I begged him to please take me back but the staff told me if I told him to take me back one more time they were gonna revoke my call privileges and never able to call them again. It was terrible please please don t send your child here just try therapy and give it some time. The staff suck Ivan and some others took us to adventure land because a kid was leaving but Ivan started smoking to relieve stress . I am still traumatized from this place. DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!!!
I was a client as a child for autism in both an after school program and therapy through four oaks and this place has left me with more damage than what i came in with. I think about the hellish ideas they tried to force on me and the lack of care when being harassed by other people in the autism groups and it was awful. Made my ability to socialize much more complicated and made it harder to make friends. I dont recommend going here at all for any autism related help. Especially after school groups.y life would have been better if i never stepped foot here. My therapist ignored my other mental health concerns and treated with meds i didnt need in third grade. This place left an awful ever lasting scar on my wellbeing. I dont recommend this place to anyone.

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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient rehab programs are designed to support clients who are exiting inpatient treatment and for those who prefer to remain in their own homes during active recovery. Clients in outpatient care typically integrate treatment into their ordinary daily routine, including work and school schedules. Evening, night, and weekend therapy sessions, recovery training courses, and other outpatient services are widely available to accommodate clients' needs. Many outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance.
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
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
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.
