Horrible treatment plans. If you want you child on pills and doped up, send them there. They will see their treatment binders 1 time a month for a quick assignment but not very thought provoked. Youth hate it there and staff does too.

I stayed here twice, once when I was 13 and again when I was 15, it's terrible, the biggest atrocity though in my time there was that the therapist on my unit was having sexual relationships with two of the boys, on top of that so were several other staff, overall don't send your kids here

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.

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.

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

inpatient iconInpatient
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.

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

Was trapped there 87-88. Useless program. Was there one year and all I had to do to go home was run away. 75% of the people from back then are in prison or dead. Tell me how they help kids. My mother said sending me there was the biggest mistake she made.

Not as holy as they pretend to be. I was taken from my mother and placed there so I could get emothional help and all they did was label you with what they think is wrong with and treat you diffently from others. Lots of favorites, and head games. If you talk about family issues in group, your talked about and shamed. Your issues also get thrown back in your face. The rules are regularly broken with no consequences unless your not a favorite. Do not send your kids here ever!

This place changed my life. I was there from 2006 to 2008. From age 16-18. While the beginning of my stay wasn t very pleasant, but after I started to work my program and followed simple rules, I was able to graduate the program and change my life for the better. I m 32 now, with my own child and have always remembered this place while making some decisions in my life. I would love to come back and speak if they would have me. I will always love this place.-Hubbard :)

Refused to acknowledge I have epilepsy when I was there , I was on girls south. Even had a grand mahl that put me in the hospital. Due to the petit mahls I used to walk into things and people without realizing it. Because I didn't notice I would walk into things they labeled me as predatory and I was denied treatment for two+ years , their excuse was I never made it off what they called "boundaries". I was never even allowed to give my life story in group therapy let alone talk about any issues. I have recently been contacted by people I was locked up with , they told me st Vincent's allowed them to keep all my journals and they threatened to post them on social mediaIf you want help and rehabilitation for your child this is NOT the place to get it ...it's been 20 years and all that happened here still gives me nightmares and I'm still scared to so much as hug my own mother.

Well not exactly what I was expecting as an addict trying to recover it was actually a very difficult stay none of the kids were happy and staff used manipulative techniques to get the kids to do what they wanted also kids weren t watched after cause of lack of staff also when I was quarantined they refused me food for a whole week because I had covid along with 2 other clients who were also starved and deprived of any water or hydrating liquids staff did not care and they ll shake you for being broke or poor and the counselor will constantly lie to you about when your child is coming home the place also left me emotionally damaged and scared but the counselor uses manipulative techniques as well to get into the clients head to make them do what staff wanted them to do it s a very toxic and unsafe environment there was also clients smoking cigarettes in the facility and nothing was done about it on top the place was really dirty and in sanitary but that concludes my stay please decide about this before sending your kids here. Thank you

I was Here back in 1995 to 97 as a teen. There was maybe 2 staff who seemed to really care about. These used horrible shaming and demoralizing tactics to get us to comply to rules. As a Licensed social worker now I truly Hope they have adapted a trauma informed approach and work to heal and provide a safe place for youth. ..my star review was more of a way to post a review and share a success story. Not all of us kids in the home did bad we just needed love.
