When I was in inpatient about four years ago, at the main Harrington Hospital. They had basically forced me in this place with promise that they would help. What I needed was a referral to a specialist for my disorder. (Someone,) And they gave me one of the worst experiences of my whole life and set me back tremendously. One of the therapists who worked here, CANDACE, said that I wanted my trauma. Assumed I don t have my trauma, without even asking about it. She wasn t even my designated therapist. She asked me personal questions in front of the whole group and put me on the spot when I was just learning that my sleepwalking, and getting my body controlled involuntarily from the inside is NOT make believe. What s worse is that all of these people except for George, the psychiatrist oddly enough, who was actually straightforward and considerate of what I actually need, were all misleading me into nothing helpfulThe whole reason I was here to begin with was for guidance, and a referral. (Or some resources for myself and a therapist who can, and is long-term) All except him didn t take me seriously. They lied to me and gave me false hope about my symptoms. They gaslit me to NO end, were and I know now, GRAVELY mistaken. What was the point of all that? And was I supposed to know then, what I should ve done??? This is not how you treat people. They are absolutely not trauma informed at all, which would benefit them if they were. someone pointed out what they are qualified to do as if I should just go somewhere else; Most people, have trauma. so no, that DOESN T give a licensed therapist of any kind the right to do what she did and is damaging to every individual involved in a group setting who has underwent abuse and trauma. It s a legitimate malpractice, to treat someone in need as LESSER THAN, just because you can and because you think somebody is fake, wrong, dumb or delusional. That is abuseIt made my ideations to not exist skyrocket after my days there. It lasted MONTHS. If I didn t have my own therapist afterwards to go back to I could have died.Candace, called me girlie with a condescending tone. And no matter what was said, acted like many of the women were there because they WANTED, to be. She interrogated me with an intimidating stare, but without any care of the fact that I was there for resources for my problems in the first place, and didn t know a lot and didn t pretend to. eye rolling and sighing and shutting me up, in front of the WHOLE ENTIRE GROUP. When everyone had a chance to speak about their business. Any chance she had. Asked me if I was lonely, implying that I wanted attention when I could ve been doing so many other things than to be talked to like that. As I m editing this I shortened some things. I do understand that I went off-topic when I first wrote this and some of the criticisms I had were more of a matter of opinion so I just wanted to just stick to what happened. Because that s what happened, and nothing can change that and it s MY experience. So If you had a good experience, wonderful. I m happy for you.The professionals were not welcoming me to understand my current and lifelong mental disability, and they scared me instead. They are absolutely clueless. As told exactly from one of the doctors mouths on exactly the day that they discharged me. I wish we knew how to help yooouu. Ugh.It doesn t matter, if you re not a specialist. It doesn t matter, if you don t believe someone or you don t understand it. You re supposed to guide someone to their understanding of themselves, self improvement amongst many things. It is *not*, on a doctor s list of treatments to gaslight, victim blame someone that has any inkling of a trauma history of any type(s,) and dismiss some of their symptoms solely based on personal beliefs and misunderstanding which is really basic, knowledge that every professional has. And that s all I have to say

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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 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.

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

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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

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.

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.

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

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.

My three week stay in the partial hospitalization program let me meet some of the nicest and most caring providers I have met since my mental health journey began. Through CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and medication management they got me back on my feet and functioning again.

If zero star reviews were an option I would choose that. My little cousin shattered her wrist and desperately needed medical attention. She had to wait for 4 hours for an X-Ray and then another 3 hours for the results (which she never received). I wouldn t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

ZERO STARS!!Worst place to get help ever! How does one go into the office for an appointment 5 min late do to construction on Main Street and they can't see you or yet not even be able to reschedule an appointment and they tell you you need to call to reschedule??? Don't you call the office to make appointments? So why do I have to call if I'm already here?? I am here for help for mental health issues and yet they caused me to get anxiety attack in my car due to the fact that I might not get any help at all now for another 4 months. How do you get help when no one wants to help??? No wonder suicide rates are so high!!!

I went there because of severe anxiety I saw counsler named Renee 2 times. I explained reasons for my anxiety to herHer only response to me was "How awful", She said only people who have lost loved ones or got divorced have panic/anxiety! This is far from the truth and was at aww to this, right away i knew she couldnt help me. She didnt know what the stress hormone was that triggers anxiety. Both visits she talked about herself, son and husband! Then i was told i had to see someone else 3 more times in order to get a med for my anxiety , then it could take weeks to be approved for a med! I will be cancelling my visits here! This place is about keeping people coming but get no help with counseling, unqualified counseling to boot! Stay away from here!
