About Indian Rivers Behavioral Health

In Tuscaloosa Alabama, Indian Rivers Behavioral Health provides a variety of care options for the treatment of drug use disorders. They offer outpatient treatment as well as women’s inpatient and specific women’s outpatient care. They can treat both mental health and substance use concerns for children, adults, and families. The mental health outpatient program is for adults 18 and older. Recovery symptom reduction, illness management, and stabilization are the main goals of this program. Personalized care is provided to each individual by means of initial assessments which are essential in identifying the best therapeutic interventions. They provide a variety of services such as family therapy, group therapy, individual therapy, and psychiatric evaluation in addition to educational initiatives designed to improve public awareness of mental illness.

The substance use outpatient program includes two 2 hour group sessions per week. Their Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) which consist of three weekly 3-hour group sessions, are available for individuals in need of a more intensive approach. These programs are made to accommodate different schedules; morning, afternoon and evening sessions are offered, and they have coed as well as gender specific groups.

Indian Rivers puts a special emphasis on treating women, offering a women’s inpatient program as well as a women-specific outpatient program. Pregnant women are given priority for care. The programs are similar to the other general outpatient and IOP programs but focus on the unique requirements of women in recovery and provide a setting that encourages understanding and support.

Indian Rivers also provides outpatient and intensive outpatient services to participants in local initiatives like the Second Chance program and the 24th Judicial Circuits Drug Court. This partnership not only increases the availability of resources but also incorporates therapeutic support into the larger legal system. In addition to closely working with judges and district attorneys, case managers make sure that clients’ voices are heard during crucial stages of recovery and therapists may actively participate in court proceedings as advocates for their clients.

Medical briefcase icon 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.

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, people in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Participants reside at the rehab facility until they complete their treatment program. This allows them to focus solely on their recovery, away from outside distractions, stressors, and addiction triggers. Inpatient drug rehab typically involves extensive addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are designed to provide support to you after completing an addiction treatment program. These programs are highly customized and evolve with your changing needs. You'll partner with staff at the treatment center to identify any specific medical, behavioral, and social services needed to support your sustained sobriety. Aftercare services may include peer coaching, career counseling, and other personalized support.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs are often considered the standard model for addiction recovery. They're based on the use of spiritual principles to support a gradual psychological, emotional, and spiritual shift to remediate the root causes of one's addiction. Treatment depends primarily on per coaching (sponsorship) and group recovery meetings. Though rooted in spiritual principles, participants do not need to be religious and sessions are non-denominational. Specialized groups, including meetings for seniors, teens, and family members, are often available.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

A drug intervention in Alabama is an organized attempt to convince someone they have a substance use issue and that they need treatment. During an intervention, loved ones share their concerns about the person's substance use and encourage them to get help. A professional can provide guidance and support for this effort through intervention services, to help participants avoid missteps and increase the success of the intervention.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides comprehensive treatment to those who do not require 24/7 monitoring and offers a higher level of care than outpatient programs. Often referred to as "day treatment" patients typically attend sessions a minimum of 20 hours weekly, allowing clients to return home each day. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and can provide daily therapeutic sessions and services such as relapse prevention and medication management.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medically assisted detox is often the first step of addiction treatment. At the medical detox level of care, you are weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol under the care of licensed medical professionals who constantly monitor your health and treat any potential withdrawal symptoms, sometimes with the aid of medication (like Suboxone or Vivitrol).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual 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 iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive 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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples 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 iconFamily 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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

Check icon Accreditations

So thankful that they do everything they can to help you considering how little funds they have. Just don't expect very complete treatment. I also luckily got a very good therapist that has been very good to me.

If I could I would give a zero but have to put a a star. I was at breckenridge for 2 years dealt with Kelley, roneka, dubose, Trina, Tina, and destiny. There was constant chaos. There is a significant amount of verbal abuse. I guess they think they can treat people like trash bc they have a degree and the think we have no ability to say anything. We have went to advocate and everything it didn t work. My roomate was very nasty we had infestation of bugs and they would not teach her how to clean and help her. People learned nothing there not even me. I had to learn on my own. It was a waste of 2 years being there. I finally have a great apartment on my own and I am loving it. I feel horrible if you ever have to deal with any of these people. Don t put your family in breckenridge. It will only make things worse.

I have had 2 screw ups with my prescriptions. Both times I contacted them for a renewal because my appointment was 30 days beyond running out of meds. The switch board offered no help at all saying that the person who handles that is off for the day. Called to leave a message with nurse practitioner who was also off for the day. Not the least bit of concern at all by the staff. Went in person, still no help.

Nurse practitioner messed up my med dosage, so I tried calling the clinic nurse. She didn t pick up, so I tried calling the front desk. No one picked up there either. So I decided I could wait until my appointment. Found out today that my appointment for next week has been canceled and rescheduled for NOVEMBER. Tried calling the front desk for a medication refill. Again, no one picked up. Don t go here unless you want what is easily the most negligent care that you will ever receive.

I would leave zero stars if it were an option. A month ago I had an issue with the front desk people and they were by far the rudest people I have encountered working in the mental health industry. They refused to help me and proceeded to hang up on me several times. I have never experienced something like. it is clear nobody cares if you re getting your medicine or not they are simply there for a paycheck. I went to my appointment today and discovered that my dr no longer works there. They didn t inform me of that at all and were rude and unhelpful acting like I should have already known? For people that work in the mental health industry they do not know how to interact with people, do yourself a favor and save your time and money. I ll be finding a new facility to go to as I d recommend to others if you value getting the right medication/medication on time/actually being able to see your dr/ being treated like a person and not trash.

They treat their staff terribly. There is no work/life balance, which is to be expected when you're working with clients 24/7, but at the very least if you say you're going to be available to help, do that. The training is subpar as they hardly tell you what to do. You have to figure it out or ask other assistant coordinators. They are not understanding of family issues or even personal medical emergencies but wholeheartedly expect you to respect their time when they have things going on. It's a revolving door because the management treats their best workers terribly, and then expects them to work at their best. Always on call with no staff to cover. Even when you're not on call, the person on call doesn't answer so you might as well be the worker. Not worth the pay at all. It doesn't even pay a livable wage. Things need to change in this organization from a managerial standpoint before they have no workers. The clients are wonderful and have typical mental health issues for their diagnoses. Truly the best group of men I had the pleasure of caring for. The management though? Nope. Again, fast food pays better.

Indian Rivers has saved my life on more than one occasion. I depend on their services for my medications and treatment. Staffing is inconsistent sometimes but they always come thru and care for me.

In one residential program they block the only access to a scooter or a wheelchair. The lowered place for entrance to the sidewalk is blocked. I m in a scooter and it is purposefully blocked to prevent me from visiting. I have went to the manager as well as those above them. The last thing said was INDIAN RIVERS REQUIRES THEM TO PARK THE VAN IN THE SPOT THAT BLOCKS ACCESS TO HANDICAP ENTRANCE. Bad for me and any other handicap visitor or client. Never seen such disrespect

If I could zero stars I would. This place is among the least caring and least helpful mental health centers I've ever seen. The workers don't care and damn near seem to actively avoid their patients instead of meeting with them and listening to their issues wih their medicine. This place will be the death of someone some day and I hope they're held responsible

It seems that in mental health there can be a revolving door as to the help direly needed. Options are limited as time goes by in a program where reliance upon a staff, that sometimes is inefficient, to aid in the issues a client becomes a treacherous ordeal of survival. It seems also that there is a never ending battle for intelligence that more or less clients are used as objects of the staff's educational goals thus leaving them to waste away in the allotted programs. Clients shouldn't be considered as second class citizens as often the case is where they should be mutually respected among the staff and not demoralized. Personally I have known Indian Rivers Mental Health for over 39 years where the more things that change about their operations basically they remain the same.
