I reported this place to the State board, they drain insurances like medicad and others. I noticed a few days I didn't go they still charged medicad. Legal drug dealers, hopefully they will get closed down, they have lost all the good people anyways! Transfer to dip now before they close!

Used to be a great place . Now I can't stand the place . They don't tell you this but when you go there they also charge you for the days to don't show up. So if anything happens and you can't get your medicine you still get charged . Crazy thing is they won't tell you until get a couple hundred in the hole then pop on it you. On top of that the first time it was told I owed 200+ , then I got a receipt a week later after missing no days with 300+ , after long they said it was 240+ again after never paying anything on it. You have to be careful with these people now, they do stuff like that then their answer usually is you're wrong even if you show proof of it , or it's "our system messes up sometimes" but won't do anything to fix it they jus expect you to be ok with that . Place is a joke . They can't keep nurses or counselors, the only good ones they had/have leave because they couldn't/can't take it anymore. Corey and Angela was the best thing to happen to that place, things were smooth when they came in and then they pushed them right out the door. I'm definitely going to a different place.

This place use to be a good clinic and never had any problems or anything but for some reason they are saying things are in my UA that clearly is impossible I even showed proof of the stuff that I'm prescribed that it can cause a false positive but NO these "smart" people don't want to be shown up specially by someone beneath them (that's how some of the people there treat you) I've had nothing but problem after problem starting in August 2024 NEVER IN 12 YEARS HAVE I EVER WENT THROUGH THE DISRESPECT THAT I HAVE ENDURED SINCE ITS CHANGED, The Pharmacist don't even get me started on her. Someone needs to inform her just bc someone shows you something that you obviously didn't know about doesn't mean their trying to show you up it's just trying to inform you in something you obviously had no clue about. The new lady that's head yeah she needs some better people skills, idk if it's bc we are going there bc we needed help getting off of PRESCRIBED MEDICATION FROM OUR DOCTOR that makes you think your better than all of us, but I hate to break it to you your not!, we're ALL HUMAN!!!!!

Accepted Insurance

Gulf Coast Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Alabama provides medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for drug dependency. Methods of treatment often include a combination of medication, counseling, and recreational therapies.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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 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.

Clinical Services

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Accreditations

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

Place is a joke. Ppl selling their take home bottles right in the parking lot. I knew a guy here who had 2 week take homes and would sell them all for dope. He pretended he had a job and was never caught. They are extremely outdated in their dosing methods.

Transferred here from other BHG. I didn t even know this clinic existed initially, or that there WAS another BHG. They are wonderful here. So compassionate and thorough. I am so excited to see how my treatment goes through this clinic, they even are coordinating my treatment w my other doctors and keeping them updated on my treatment plan.

All I can say is this clinic changed my life in so many ways.I moved to Alabama from Indiana and was promptly told I was on enough OxyContin to kill an elephant. No DOCTOR WOULD SEE ME UNTIL OFF OF THE OXYCONTIN. So I ended up here on Methadone,,, the most amazing thing happened after 20+ years on OxyContin for RSD I was able to hold my 17year old sons hand for the 1st time PAIN FREE. I was so embarrassed to be there but the staff and other patients are the kindest people I have ever met. I highly recommend this place.

I recently moved to Ocean Springs, MS from Memphis. I had to transfer to a new clinic from Memphis. This so happened to be the clinic I transferred to and I am SO GRATEFUL that I did.What sold me was when I was calling treatment centers, New Seasons in Biloxi seemed annoyed when I called to ask about what I needed to do to transfer. So I called this clinic to see if it would be a better fit, and less complicated and believe me it was!The counselor Jami from the clinic immediately called me back the same day I called to ask about their services, she had me come in the same day, fill out the paperwork, and got my transfer paperwork from Memphis. The next day I was a permanent client and dosing with them.That is what sold me! The counselors are wonderful. Jami got me into the clinic the same day that I called as a transfer. That is unheard of usually it takes a bit of time to transfer, but Jami doesn t play. She gets the job done and recognizes how important this medication is for those who truly need it.Phenomenal staff work here. From the counselors to the nurses and the doctor.As a former nurse myself I will say this clinic has some of the kindest nurses I ve ever met. One of the nurses came up to me my first day and welcomed me to the clinic.It s a small clinic so it feels more family like. The staff is always willing to help and they will go far to do so.My only complaint is that they aren t sure if I can do split dosing. I metabolize opiates at a rapid and fast rate, this was confirmed by a blood draw to see what my blood level of methadone is after 24 hours and before I dose for the next day.The optimum level is in the 400s mine was at 100, which is extremely low. So in TN I was given split doses 60 MG face dose and 60 mg take home. This allowed me to live a normal life without unpleasant withdrawls.But even with that draw back I am very grateful for this clinic. The other set back is they don t take insurance. There is a grant which I m currently trying to get on so that is very helpful but if you don t qualify it can get pricy.It cost 15 a day and they only do the orange wafers. Which is great if you like the pill form better as I do. It s also cheaper from New Seasons. The methadone wafers at that clinic are $22.00. That 7 dollar difference doesn t seem like much but believe me it really is. It s a 49 dollar difference weekly.Methadone saved my life. I was total abstinence from all drugs including methadone for four months when I got off of opiates. Unfortunately, I experienced severe post acute withdrawl and wasn t able to live a normal life as others do who never used opiates.I attended meetings NA/HA and AA. Which I believe are VITAL to recovery. But doing so alone without methadone was too difficult for me. The damage done to my brain was long lasting and became obvious when I still couldn t function as I did before I used opiatesI dealt with severe panic attacks, and being unable to experience pleasure in anything. For example, a beautiful sunrise usually makes me smile and makes my soul feel warm, but I couldn t experience that feeling anymore because of the damage opiates had done on my brain.So after four months I had to get on methadone in order to be able to experience pleasure in everyday activities as other people do. Antidepressants wouldn t work, because that isn t the chemical my brain was lacking from the damage done by opiates. So methadone for me is a life saving medication. As it is for so many others.I continue to do meetings, intensive outpatient, go to conventions, and see a therapist for my recovery. Alongside with methadone.I m a firm believer in this medication that with it and the psychological part of recovery (meetings, therapy, etc) that a happy life is once again possible with the freedom from addiction.

Unfortunately, this is no longer Gulf Coast Treatment Center. When it was GCTC is was great, but as of the new year, 2020, ownership changed and 2.5 months later, there is barely any staff left. I seriously don't know how they will continue to operate much longer which sucks because if they close, the closest methadone clinic is 3x as far.The few employees that are left are great. But it has drastically changed since being bought from previous owner.
