I am rating summit oaks a firm 1 out of 5 stars and honestly wish I could give zero. As someone who is finally unlearning the brainwashing that goes on in treatment facilities for teens is held to no standard . I luckily was not there for all to long before my parents learned that I was not receiving the help they promised. In a parents eyes we were supposed to have 1 on 1 weekly therapy with our therapists. In my 6ish months at summit oaks I meet with a therapist 1 on 1 three times in my stay with 2 different therapists! Not to mention I was pulled due to covid at the end of the day, because of that my therapist said we would do weekly zoom calls to make sure I keep up with myself. She never reached out after I left and it s not like I m surprised. During my process of packing my things to leave a staff member named Holly that I will forever and always remember told all my pod mates to stop being happy for me, every kid pulled before they are 18 comes back so I made it my mission to never go back to a place like that again. If they are trying to get teens to stop communicating they mastered that, restraining kids would become normal and you are not to react, to go with that if you did react or have a panic attack most of the time you would get yelled at for it. The point standard at summit oaks is crazy. A kid gets based off of body language, participation, tidiness of your bed in the morning, with no expectations you are sick. If you get sick you immediately drop down to zero points and can lose the privilege of a family phone call. If you are sending your kid off for mental health care shouldn t they understand when days get bad . Another point to bring up they put me on lots of medication at very high doses, when I worked my way up in the program to a family visit off campus they drug tested me upon my arrival, I failed my drug test due to the medication I was on so they pulled my bed onto the floor and I had to sleep with lights in my eyes next to the overnight staff member. They didn t believe it was my medication so they even sent my urine off to get tested and I lost all privileges until that test came back. Another thing I would like to mention is there staffing, on my pod there was 13-15 girls and one staff, if there where to be someone acting out everyone would have to go to there room until another staff was called to the pod to address the issue. Maybe not every experience is like mine but it definitely gave me truama rather than helping with it.

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.

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

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.
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.
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.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

If I'm being honest, once I got out I was more suicidal then ever. I went to the hospital due to their food and the "head honcho" Molly told my roommate that I was just dramatic. I no longer believe in god. Thank you Summit.

As a former resident. I would not recommend anyone to send their child to here. It is a horrible experience. The staff treated us like garbage. I encourage parents to find another place to put their children in if they need help.

i guess the other reviewer was parent-placed with great private insurance. My girlfriend's son has all the issues this place is supposed to address, but obviously kids on Medicaid aren't worth the time of LSS. A kid with a verified family history of mental illness, truancy and some incidents of violence would appear to fit the bill of LSS. The state office in Pierre has approved her son for placement, but all she gets from LSS on Enterprise is the runaround. Again, this kid in need has the unfortunate situation of being on Medicaid, and it looks like that's an issue with LSS. It all comes down to the almighty dollar I guess, and LSS is no different. She was told her son doesn't fit the criteria for their services. Not only is that a joke, but goes against all LSS claims to be about. The kid is in need and LSS is turning it's back on him.
