I spent 7 days here after I checked myself in for severe depression/suicidal ideations. The facility is very clean and updated. The staff is AMAZING and treated us very well. I felt safe and loved the entire time I was there. The food actually wasn t horrible despite some of the other patients not loving it. I m very thankful to know that I can check in here anytime I need to and be well taken care of! Special shout out to Felicia on 2 west. She was incredible and the patients at Ocean s are so so lucky to have her!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

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
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) require substantive support as they prepare to transition into standard outpatient (OP) care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Most IOP clients are in early recovery or are at an elevated relapse risk. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves multiple, extended sessions weekly. Many programs require clients to participate in a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly. The most common treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery education, and medication assisted treatment.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Recommended as a flexible and intensive addiction treatment option, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is often used as an alternative to inpatient rehab. With daily sessions typically lasting up to six hours for five days a week, PHP treatment provides evidence-based therapies and medical care while allowing you to return home every evening. The length of PHP treatment varies based on your needs, but it averages 90 days.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During early phases of recovery, 24-hour clinical care in Mississippi provides several advantages that can improve recovery outcomes. First, medical staff can prescribe medications to manage withdrawal. Second, staff are available 24/7 to address mental health issues that arise. Third, any other medical issues can be addressed, such as illness or medication management. Lastly, this intensive level of treatment can provide nutritional care to further improve the individual's health.

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

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

The goal of trauma therapy is to help you heal from the effects of witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. You are provided support to process those traumatic memories and then develop coping strategies to improve your emotional resilience and ability to cope in society.

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.

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.

Often, substance use and mental health disorders weaken basic life skills. This makes daily functioning a challenge and can lead to a cycle of addiction. To help you break free from this cycle, drug rehab programs include integrated life skills training which helps you redevelop or strengthen the life skills you need for success.

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.

Recreational therapy is a holistic approach to drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Mississippi. It integrates activities like hiking, art, and team sports to improve your physical fitness and give you an outlet to express your emotions and stress. Recreational therapy helps people who are rebuilding their lives to maintain long term sobriety.

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.

You can start using nicotine replacement therapy as soon as you quit using tobacco. These products, such as nicotine gum and nicotine patches, treat your physical dependence on nicotine. To address any psychological dependence, counseling and support groups can be good resources.

I am usually not the one to write reviews but I have to because of my experience at this place. I don t not recommend anyone to come here if they really need help. All you do all day is sit in the day room and watch tv. You hardly do anything all day. I felt like I was being held there too long for a stay. I stayed for a total of 5 days. The meals are ok. The place is dirty in my opinion. You have to get up at early hours and stay up for over 12 hrs. They keep your door locked all day. There was one instance where I felt unsafe when someone broke into the nurses office and went on a rampage and we had to get locked in the day room while the police came. I d say the best part of the experience was talking to patients and the staff being nice to me.

Thank you to Leslie and Heather they always go above and beyond to assist families and provide real time updates on the admission. In some cases a direct admit is possible and a person does not have to sit in an ER for hours and suffer further stress and anxiety. Thank you for all you do!

My husband was admitted there yesterday (from merit hospital) while I was out of town... i only knew this after speaking with his nurse from merit. I rushed home and called oceans and was told a doctor would call me as soon as he was assessed. I tried my best to be patient all day and heard nothing. My husband was finally able to call me himself but was so disoriented and emotional and clearly medicated. I asked him if the doctor was there and he didn t even remember speaking with one. I called the facility back and spoke with a nurse and asked to speak with his provider for information on how he s doing and what the plan is and she asked me for a four digit code and I said Maam no one from your facility has even called me, how am I supposed to get a code? and she said the patients are supposed to give the family the code. I can t understand how my husband who was distraught, medicated was supposed to give me a code?!? I was warned last night how horrible this place is. I am extremely concerned for my husband and I am so disappointed in the lack of empathy this place has for family members. I will be doing everything I can to make sure he is sent somewhere else tomorrow if not discharged.

Stayed 3 days inpatient as an adolescent. Had very little one on one therapy, the food was terrible, and the techs were very unprofessional. Since everyone is there for a different reason, when patients of higher illnesses start breaking down, they are restrained and yelled at in the public room. When you tell your doctors that it s triggering, they tell you to worry about yourself, and not others. Most, if not almost all of my time was spent with other patients and not doctors or nurses. The group therapy was just a therapist talking about positive coping skills. I had to sign an AMA because I wasn t getting help. I left worse than when I came in. They drug you until you can t feel depressed anymore, and kick you out. Now I understand why patients end their lives after leaving mental facilities. It s more of a prison than a hospital, don t let your loved ones stay here.

I was scared to death when I arrived because I didn t know what I was getting myself in to. But I was broken. Denise and Amy were there waiting for me when the ambulance dropped me off. I had no idea what to expect. However, they were beyond nice, loving, and caring. They were the motherly figures that I needed. They were there to answer my questions. At no time were they rude, uncaring, or nasty to me. When they brought me to the floor, they introduced me to the staff. They were strict but caring. I want to thank the staff, Mr. Norris, Sheritta, Doretha, Creola, Connie, Jordan, Jennifer, Lavonda, Diane and so many others I did not mention for taking such good care of the patients and myself. I feel like I made life long friends though I may never see them again. My time there was short but very much needed. I m thankful for this place. I m just now on my way to recovery but this is the most normal I have felt in a long time. I love you all!!

Please listen to every word I am telling you it is the truth! I was a patient there. Two women came in my first night in the middle of the night. I was so afraid I m was very scared because I did not know who these people were. They did not introduce themselves. They. held my arm down to draw blood. I screamed they were hurting me to let go and they would not I told them no over and over! Unbeknownst to them I had had surgery on my ulnar nerve on my right elbow 14 years before. They have re-injured my ulnar nerve and now I m looking at possibly having surgery again from no fault of my own. I m in severe pain! I told everyone in the facility every day I was there and no one would listen to me. They actually had the nerve to tell me that if I did not know the girls names there was nothing they could do. Now I know good and well they have a schedule and all they have to do is look at it. They all ganged up together and I was unable to make a formal complaint. I was threatened by the therapist/social worker because I complained that I had gotten no therapy while I was there. She told me I could have therapy or she could work on my paperwork to get me ready to go home! What do I prefer she said to me. Her only suggestions or therapy I got from her. Was to read my Bible every day and to go home and write a book. There is no one who actually has a caring heart. I was there for depression and when I came out, I was 1000 times worse they would not let me leave! They held me against my will for a solid week! There were actual truly insane people there such as one gentleman who was 6 foot eight 450 pounds that they brought in. He had been in the house with wife s Dead body for two weeks he had the worst smell ! My roommate you had to sleep with in the room every night had not had a shower for three solid weeks. That was torture right there having to sleep with someone so close to you that smell so horrible by no fault of their own that woman had bad dementia. I begged everyone every day to give her a bath and no one would. When she opened her mouth, it smelled like dead fish. I felt so bad for her. If you feel you ve been overcharged, please call your Insurance company. If you have Medicare, that s called Fraud. My bill for one week was $13,525. For the seven days I was held against my will. I ate every day on a Styrofoam plate with disposable forks Styrofoam cups, the food was completely Gross. It was horrible. You were made to drink water fromone plastic pitcher that they filled with I have no idea what was in the water or where it came from. Or when was the last time the pitcher was washed They made you use the same bathroom as every person there so the bathroom was so gross. You could not get in your own room to go to the bathroom privately.I beg you listen to me and never send anyone you care about to this horrible facility. I could probably write two pages of things that I saw with my own eyes. I ve never seen heard or smelled things in my whole life that I saw there! I actually saw a woman left her, nightgown open her diaper, we saw her privates. Then she started to eat the diaper. Well, that s enough said so sorry if you ve been abused or overcharged at one of these facilities, they actually need to be put out of business. I m trying hard to make sure that happens. I send prayers and thoughts for everyone that needs help and has put in this horrible place by mistake!!!
