This review is from someone who was scared and skeptical going to any hospital after bad experiences with others.I actually enjoyed my stay here in MOD A, as much as one can enjoy their stay at an institution. This isn t like going to a retreat or anything but if you think of it as a small vacation away from the shit in your life it s better.If you treat the staff with respect and understanding they will do the same for you. I had no problems when anyone there, though there are of course the bad apples. But none of those apples were the nurses. Every nurse I personally talked to was amazing. The groups made great of you actually put in the effort to make the most of them, you need to listen. If you sleep your days away you will get nothing out of it.Doctor Mehdikhan was absolutely amazing. I never meet one that was so understanding of me and my diagnosis. I felt like a human speaking to another human. I am so grateful for him. As well as Maddie, one of the activity therapists, she is such a kind soul and I could tell she loves what she is doing. There are many other staff member I d like to give kudos to but unfortunately do not remember names.The negative reviews here are valid, as many of my fellow patients had problems with some of the staff, know that does not mean that automatically means the same for you, because it wasn t for me when I thought it would be.Like the review before me, please give kudos to the lovely men and women working in mod A, I am so grateful~

Accepted Insurance

Henry Ford Kingswood Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Ambetter

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving care at an outpatient rehab remain in their own homes and attend treatment as often as daily, depending on the level of need. Outpatient care generally consists of psychotherapy, addiction education, life skills training, and community reintegration support. Many outpatient treatment centers provide step-down care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient services. Some outpatient rehabs also offer ambulatory medical detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Clients in inpatient rehab reside at the treatment facility while engaging in intensive daily treatment. Inpatient care is primarily designed for clients leaving detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients participate in intensive addiction counseling, which may include group and family therapy as well as one-on-one sessions. Recovery-focused life skills training is also often prioritized. Many inpatient rehabs offer evidence-based complementary therapies, such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and animal therapy.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients receiving care in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically have completed inpatient treatment, but some choose to enroll in IOP immediately following detox. Intensive outpatient rehabs offer high-level support for clients in early recovery and those at an increased risk of relapse. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of treatment per week, with services ranging from addiction counseling to recovery education to medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, are common.

Aftercare Support

Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program have already completed high-level treatment and have begun to develop essential recovery skills. Rehab aftercare services are designed to support clients' sustained sobriety as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Case managers, care teams, and clients design the customized service portfolio that will best support the client's long-term sobriety. Clients may receive peer coaching, 12 step program induction, vocational training, and relapse prevention services.

12-Step

12 step programs are typically community-based and peer-led, though many rehabs base their treatment models on this approach. Participants engage in regular 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible multiple times a day, 365 days a year in most communities. Participants are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who support them as they work through the 12 steps of recovery, which include addressing the causes of the disease, taking personal responsibility, and relinquishing control.

Medically Assisted Detox

During a medically supervised detox, addictive substances are removed from your body while under the 24/7 supervision of medical professionals in an inpatient environment. This is the safest way to wean your body off of addictive substances, since quitting alcohol or certain drugs (like opioids or benzodiazepines) can be dangerous if done on your own. The program typically lasts around 5-7 days, but is highly individualized depending on your needs.

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.

Programs

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

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.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

Family therapy is often recommended for family units with a member undergoing drug or alcohol rehabilitation. Family therapy helps to foster communication and conflict resolution that creates a supportive environment. This helps the loved one who is struggling with addiction.

I stayed here April of 2024 I was put in a mod with the calm low risk patients I think it was mod B. This place is disgusting and inhumane. No one who works in this building cares about mental health. I stayed here because of suicidal ideations and was there for 6 days. During your stay you are supposed to see a therapist, doctor, and psychiatrist every day. I never saw a therapist once. I saw a doctor maybe every 2 days. They re also supposed to let us outside everyday. The techs are supposed to take us outside EVERY DAY. I was only allowed outside ONCE FOR TWENTY MINUTES my entire stay. When I asked the techs why we weren t allowed outside, they said it was too cold for them to go outside. This was late April it was 60 degrees. Selfish. The techs are all lazy and hate their job. They walk around with headphones in all day and roll their eyes at you if you ask for anything. (Socks, underwear, soap, etc) There was no hand soap in any of the restrooms in the ward. I asked a nurse (Darryl) why, and told him that it makes me very uncomfortable that no one is washing their hands. So I asked for hand sanitizer or hand soap. His only response was a sarcastic How much do you think your anxiety has increased since your stay? To which I responded it s not anxiety it s common sense, my mother died from covid a year ago why aren t we washing our hands. He rolled his eyes and walked away from me. There was a mentally delayed 18 yr old girl staying there at the same time. She was treated HORRIFIC. Her mom was abusing her terribly, admitting it over the phone calls, and she literally peed herself and had a seizure when her mom came to visit and started screaming at the girl. She tried to tell all of the nurse techs and doctors please don t send her back to her mom but none of them listened. She went up to a nurse tech and told her that her mother was abusing her and the techs response was literally Okay so do you wanna call her I bet she misses you. These people do not care about mental health. They are miserable with their lives and take it out on all of the patients. The techs are also NOT QUALIFIED. It is required you take a psyc class to get the job, a tech that I spent a lot of time talking to told me she failed out of college and still got the job. This is a disgusting hospital that employs disgusting individuals and traumatizes already traumatized individuals even more then they already are. I still have nightmares about this place. I hope they get shut down

I was admitted here in 2018, 8 months into being 18... there was an older man (maybe 40s?) that worked there. He was overly nice to me my entire stay. He would set up his desk outside my room everyday, & listen to me sing in the shower, he would warn me to stay away from other people there and would try to engage conversation about my relationship status and tell me not to go back to my ex. I didn't think of it because I was still practically a CHILD who is obviously mentally ill (because I was admitted duh) and felt my kindness was taken advantage of. Right before I was about to go home, the nurse I was leaving with left me on a floor with the male worker because she had to run and get my other bag. And the second we were alone the male worker asked me for my number and told me he wanted to take me on a date. I gave him it because I felt pressured. About an hour after I got home he called me and legit the second i answered he called me baby... I gave the phone to my mom. It was an awful experience to say the least. I am 24 now and still feel sick about it to this day.

Honestly this is the best mental health or behavioral health hospital for adolescents that I have had the experience of having to use for my child, they're absolutely amazing The staff treat you like family they're constantly calling you with updates they allow your children to call you with updates but your children don't really call you that much because they literally do things with them at all times of the day they have multiple things so they can choose from they do have free periods and stuff like that but I honestly have to say like if I had like dish out money to get my kid to go here every time I would do it! They took such good care of her! Thank u so much oh yeah they have an actual play ground for the kids as well!!

Thank you for the 5-star rating, Annette! Your kind words are appreciated, and we will share them with our staff at Henry Ford Kingswood Hospital.

This is the worst facility they will misdiagnose you and force you to take medication when its clear you don t need it . If you refuse they will court mandated you and lie . If you ask for a new doctor because you do not agree with the doctors diagnosis because he doesn t exactly sit and speak with you they will force you to take medication before you are able to leave . Doctor pasovi and Guzman are the absolute worst doctors ever . The staff especially Brittany a social worker will lie to your family and make up stuff. The court probate system is the worst the judge and hospital all get paid to keep people in these places and take away their rights. It s an unclean facility.

so if my review gets deleted again i m just gonna keep reposting lol.my stays were in 2021. admitted twice back to back.the second time i was admitted i was put in the mod with high risk patients that i couldn t relate with on their level at all. it took 3 days to get transferred to the mod i was in previously.one i was in the lower level mod, one of the nights, i took a long shower after not doing so for a week. it had been an hour. i got reprimanded because my roommate was scared that i was singing to myself. a huge woman came in yelling and i kept saying i m not done. it got to the point where i raised my voice loud to say i m washing my bleep and she grabbed me by my arm naked out of the shower. then proceeded to say you re taking THREE of the meds i was forced to take. and threatened me with shots on top of that. this is no exaggeration. i never took more than one after that. abuse of power.not to mention, the medication i was prescribed was not for my condition at all. once i read the user info, i was infuriated. they then made me go on lithium and tried to scare me by staying if i went off them i d end up back there. lithium made me feel like i was tripping on hallucinogens. and end up making me suicidal. geniusesi was the only one that didn t have a monitor on for 90% of my stay. my roommate asked why i was taken out of my room one night. the best part? they were fixing the cameras :) so the cameras didn t work for a portion as well.this is just weird; one night, with staff present at the front desk, a chair aggressively flipped over. no one said a PEEP. after that, i went in my room to find something and all these papers flew over on my desk in front of me to show what i was looking for. my roommate was in the room, she didn t seem phased at all. so so weird.also, doctors surnames and first names would change. right before i left and all the ppl were cleared out from my first day, the doctors on the boards name changed . beyond sketchythe cherry on top? my stop got lost aka stolen . i had stuff in a safe and it just disappeared ? then the management changed so their was little i could do. have funn, every participant, w your karma !

I was a patient that was recently discharged from Kingswood Hospital. I hope the Mod A staff will catch wind or somehow be made aware of this testimonial.My experience and journey through six days at Kingswood was excellent. The staff treated me with nothing but respect and dignity with very few exceptions and even when those exceptions occurred I completely understand the pressure that goes along with managing 16 to 20 people in the unit, especially when someone has been on a 12 hour shift or is having a bad day, after all the staff are human as well.From the techs to the nurses to the doctors to the social workers, it was a productive and positive experience. I feel much better about where I am today vs. a week ago - so, mission accomplished. I have a long way to go but the staff equipped me with the tools needed to navigate my tough times - which is after all the objective, mission accomplished.After 7 days, there is a bond with the staff, and I sincerely understand that they are there to help people(me). I appreciate every single one of the staff, please do let them know. Thank you. ~Mike
