Their services include medication assisted treatment (MAT) and intensive outpatient (IOP), general outpatient (OP), and aftercare programming.

Treatment at GNMHC–Community Council begins with a comprehensive medical and mental health assessment and personalized care plan. Referrals for acute and subacute inpatient treatment are available as needed.

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) offer high-level transitional support for clients exiting inpatient rehab. They can also be effective for clients at significant relapse risk Intensive outpatient treatment typically involves between nine and 20 hours of care per week, with the frequency and intensity of treatment decreasing as clients progress in their recovery. Most IOP clients participate in a combination of psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

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

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

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.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

My brother was caused irreparable harm while under the care of Joselyne Simonson.

STAY AWAY.Medications will never be filled on time even if you give them several days' notice in advance. I have had med changes which had me hospitalized and the lobby sometimes reeks of urine.I am out of my needed medication because the human who is suddenly in charge of doing refills is incompetent and incapable of providing the basic service requested.Stay. Away.

How dare this place recommend a child drop out of highschool and join job corps. Job corps is NOT a highschool diploma. But it gets worse.... When you tell them you want your child to receive a diploma and not DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, they report that to dcyf. This has been the last straw. This week I will be looking into legal advice from an attorney. Telling a child to drop out of school is child abuse in itself. Their desire to have CONTROL over how you raise your child is out of hand. GNMH are the abusers and deserve to be shut down for this. Everyone involved, especially Barbara should be held accountable for this.

This place has careless therapists, case managers etc. The only people that don t last is the case managers that they overwork because they go above and beyond of what s expected of them. I had a very unfortunate discharge from this place where I was told that I was discharged back in October (This was sometime after I left to go to Florida) and nobody told me not even my case manager that I had been discharged, so I was basically left without meds until I needed them again. Thanks a lot GNMH. Granted, I was supposed to get my own psychiatrist, but these people do not tell me at all that I had been discharged, so I was expecting to get emergency medication s and I was unable to. Also, I have done a lot better with a different therapist in a different state. So, Bye Anyway, I m giving this place a 2-star but that s the best I can do, because that s the most they can do for me.

Absolutely abysmal experience. Staff routinely acts as if they care then leave you abandoned on a never ending waitlist. Then they proceed to tell you therapy not meds are what you need, but still only give you meds which you essentially prescribe yourself because the provider is condescending and offers nothing of value. This is a joke of an organization and the individuals running it should be ashamed of themselves. If you don't have the ability to actually help people, stop taking people who you can't take care of. Instead, you choose the route of greed, leading to not enough qualified individuals to help, resulting in people giving up on even trying because none of the effort is being reciprocated. Why attempt to get mental health help when all you're going to receive is band-aids, empty apologies and bills...

I wish there was a zero or negative star. Been on their waiting list for over a year. They offered me one option that wasn't going to work for me and I was told I would be put back at the bottom of the waiting list to start all over again. They offered to send me a list of providers that they have already sent 3 times, that have no openings either. I've pretty much lost all hope.

Back in 1998 this is the place was instrumental in spending the rest of my life unemployed and on disability. No treatment beyond talk, and pills that not only didn't work, they made things worse. Their only help is "pills and the bus". High turnover, which means nobody is ever familiar with you. Poor quality staff. That was then, now is even worse. "Jobs Services" were nothing then, still nothing to poverty now.Entered the Young Adult Program in 1998, then case was put on "cruise control" in 1999. Set it and forget it: "no income, no job, no car no problem" - those were the days! To nobody's shock, nothing moved in my life from 1999-2004. The Governor at the time had cut support for this agency, which caused it too look closer at clients that did not have progress. My case was threatened with closure in 2004, closed in 2005 - I had no choice, they forced me out. Did not provide a transition to a new provider.The agency was instrumental with getting me into SSI, APTD and Medicaid, which in and of themselves rendered me all the more unemployable and stuck. 24 years later, still poised for life of nothingness. The past 20+ years have been awful because once in the system for 5 years, no work, you are DONE. 20+ years - never going to work, ever. Even if you do, it's poverty; but that is theoretical, because nobody hires the long term unemployed, disabilities aside.I cannot recommend this agency or others like it. They will make your mental problems and emotional issues worse. Look for a PRIVATE provider, AVOID at all costs. AVOID getting sucked into APTD and Medicaid, as well as SSI. Once you get sucked into this system, you never go out the way you came in. You end up worse in the long run. You will be stuck, and stuck for good. You will end up homeless. You will end up poor. You will become more symptomatic. It is all inevitable.
