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-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.

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.

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.

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.

My 8 year old son who is autistic, has been a patient here for well over 2 years, the first doctor was a quack refused to meet in office refused to get my son the help he needed. Due to this we requested a new Dr.Which has been fine up until now my son had a mental health crisis to the point police was called and he was sent to the hospital to calm down. The Dr. at the hospital decided that he was fine to leave and to follow up with his psychologist immediately. Their idea of immediately is to keep his same normal scheduled appointment FROM A MONTH FROM NOW. With out any help or recommendations.This is a waste of government funding and always has been. They are not here to help. Needless to say I will be switching him to a new psychologist and therapy group immediately.

Rampant Medicaid fraud, and patient abuse. Inappropriate implementation of government mental health.They don't use medication for regular people, they have too much R&D medicine at they're disposal for troubled patients.A big waste to say no to pharmaceuticals they confuse with good buzz street drugs.The homebound medicines they prescribe to their patients applies to themselves must be overlooked by their Ill trained medical, and psychiatric personnel.They all seems to be rich, new age, Republican extremist "addiction specialists" only.It doesn't mean say no all the time, or even some of the time. Their jobs are in vain.

The communication from this place has been extremely disappointing. The constant rescheduling and cancellations are not only unprofessional but also concerning. They seem more focused on convincing you to fill your prescriptions through them than on providing quality care. The multiple counselors I had assigned to me acted with little empathy, consistently failing to remember our previous meetings or goals. As a result, I feel like my mental and emotional state has significantly worsened.Thanks LMH! TLDR: Don't bother coming here. Not until there is a culture change.

I reached out to this place at one of the lowest parts of my life. I have had nothing but problems with seeing a counselor and a doctor. I've been going for about a year now, in the first 6 months the counselor that gave me rescheduled over and over and over. I didn't have a counselor for 6 months. And I've seen my doctor one time in 1 year. Today I had an appointment to see my Doctor. I got to my appointment on time. Sitting in the waiting room and ,some one calls me to the desk and says my doctor won't be there until 12:30 pm. Mind you my appointment was at 8:30am. This was the appointment I needed to get my prescriptions refilled, I have been out for 3 weeks, but I had to reschedule my appoint for 3 weeks out. I'm very disturbed and Angry . If there was a rating for a zero then that's what it would be!!!!!!

i have had okay experience with most of this place and dr .cherry was most understanding for me,but the time i had to deal with laquanta nelson was horrible ,many think she strict ,but she uses that to get away with it,i've had her threaten me to throw me out of the car cause she didnt want me to talk and then she'd still make me talk.she say things to hurt my feeling ,i've had her say i always never right and when she told me to stop acting like im always right. many time i'd ball out crying cause of her being like this and no one knew ,i wasnt good at explaining either and alot wouldnt get involed cause alot of her clients are scared to,she was the worse to deal with and she knew she could get away with it.

please don t come here if you re seeking immediate help. you get sent back to speak to a therapist and then they make an appointment for you which can be months out. i find it crazy you can t find anywhere to help you right away. the only reason i m giving 2 stars is because the therapist we spoke to was super kind and up front with us.

Excellent immediate care for my 19 yr old daughter who was having a severe mental crisis. The associate took us to a room and listened to our concerns then had a team meeting to formulate a plan of action. Today, one week later, we had a meeting with the intake psychologist and a treatment plan was devised. The fantastic front desk person coordinated the various appointments and furnished appointment reminder cards for each one. Mr.Peele the intake psychologist was superb as well!

When I was there to receive some treatment. The first part is they have you go to intake they gather a bunch of information from you their hours are 8:30am to 3:30pm, but I would recommend you showing up before 3:00 pm since I don't believe they actually take people at 3:30 pm.This is before you're able to see the medicine Doctor or therapist. After they complete intake they will have you come back again usually in a week or two to go over your intake information. That's when they will determine if they can help you and they will set you up with a therapist and a doctor for medication.The appointments they set up for you are usually a month or two even out so if you need help right away this place is definitely not for you.They had me set up with a appointment I waited 2 months and about 3 days before appointment with the medicine doctor they canceled it and rescheduled it for about a month later. When that appointment came when checking in I was told that they had canceled that appointment once again this is now two times for the doctor but I never received a phone call even in fact I received a email confirming for my appointment the day before.Thee person at the front window was rude and completely disregarded the email that I showed them and wanted no part of it and she said that they did call and they written it down but it was not true.I was able to go to my other appointment with the therapist which was pretty good help for me but never got to see the medicine doctor. Overall this place is not for somebody that actually can depend on help because of the erratic cancellations that this place does as well as the months on end waiting for an appointment

So far a few suggestions and a little help to set me on my way. It could be a lot more proactive and practicional with concern and respect to those that seek it. Those that find it need real hard help and we are gullible at this stage and there are people that will take advantage of your poor choices and we need to be reset. The great renewal of a easier better life that we can count on. I seek change and followed it.
