I would not rate this ward a 1 star. It is actually rated a zero. Anybody or family can just toss someone in and they get severely mistreated to the point of cancer and death. I would rather be anywhere else and never in the state of MS.

I have pondered for years if I should post about this place. This place is a JOKE.. the "rehab" portion is not at all a rehab, it's a prison. They don't call you by your name, they call you by the initial of your last name. They only feed you enough for survival, you will ALWAYS go to bed hungry and if your vegetarian your meal will be a soy patty EVERY SINGLE DAY until your so sick they have to send in a nutritionist who only pretends to help. The food never changed. They say they have all these amenities, but they do not. You can't even go outside. If you are "good" on Thursdays you can go to the vending machine and Fridays you get to eat real people food. They wake you up at 6 every morning and make you chant like a freaking cult. It's always freezing in there and you are only allowed what they give you. You can't make phone calls 90% of the time and you get one visit the whole 5 weeks you're there.. you also do not get a shower curtain, can't shave, pluck eyebrows, or touch anyone. They treat you like you are bottom of the earth scum feeders when they are supposed to help people...They yell, steal, and lie. I may have forgotten to add some things but if you love your family and you really want to help them do not ever send them to this place.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

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.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs focus on the development of spiritual, psychological, and emotional skills to support sustained recovery. They regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, peer-directed, anonymous, open to the public, and accessible daily in most communities. Specialized formats are also widely available, including groups for seniors, teens, and families. Though these programs are rooted in the belief in a higher power, religious affiliation is not required.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
If you or a loved one meets the following criteria, you may benefit from a sober living home in Mississippi: You don't have a strong support system at home; you've recently completed rehab; you've relapsed in the past; you suffer from a co-occurring mental health disorder. A men's or women's sober living home can provide the structured support you need to develop recovery skills and prepare for more independent living.
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

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.

For those seeking help with addiction, a drug rehab in Mississippi offers the necessary care to achieve long-term recovery. Options include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and long-term drug rehab in Mississippi.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.

Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
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.
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers.

I was in building 81 in 2015. Majority of staff was very helpful and understanding. I knew it wasn’t going to be great but I obeyed the rules and worked the program. I have been sober for four years and attend meetings weekly. I’m very grateful to God.

Around 2019 to the beginning of 2020 right before lockdown I was in this hospital. I originally was only supposed to spend a couple of weeks here. I ended up spending 6 months most likely due to my behavior. Dealing with schizophrenia coming here was probably a good thing for my mental health. In all honesty the hospital itself was somewhat under maintenanced but nowhere near some of these other reviews speak of which makes me think some of them are over exaggerated. The staff were honestly pretty nice, I gave some of them to much trouble in all honesty and if any of them ever reads this I do apologize. In all honesty I don't know what people expect when going to a place like this. It isn't going to be luxurious especially in our state. The food honestly wasn't terrible but wasn't anywhere near enough some nights. Overall not a terrible experience. This was the last facility I've been to as well. Been doing better for 4 or 5 years now I hope I can maintain that. Best wishes

Was there for 2 months. The staff were rude and dismissive. And even downright mean. The food was terrible and most of the time cold. A toilet was falling in, stopped up shower drains, and a tv with only 1 channel with no cable. There were no activities. Only word search puzzles.This place really needs to be shut down

This place is a NIGHTMARE (especially for someone like me in a wheelchair). Every day starts at 6am (med call), then waiting on breakfast you have a prayer class. After breakfast is DBT class. The rest of the day is music, coloring & outside time until lunch then arts & crafts again until dinner. Then it's bed time after 8pm med call.The food...what a joke...it's cold & the portions are for an 8 yr old not adults. It's glorified TV dinners.My daughter sent clothes (that i didn't get) & all my meds which they went through & took upon themselves to give me what they thought I needed not what my doctors say i need so I didn't get my heart, my cholesterol or my blood thinning meds.i have 7 blood clots in my lung.Plz find a different place for your loved one. This place has a 7 outta 10 relapse rate. I beg you to plz find a better place if you love your loved one.

Abusive staff. Safety hazards are everywhere. Pests are prevalent. Food is disgusting and usually cold. When I was admitted in late 2017, nearly everything was in disrepair. Paint was peeling off of the walls. There were roaches everywhere.
