I am a living witness of how incompetence is present even in places that are suppose to help people in need, they really don't know how delicate my issue is and of course didn't treat me in the best way.

I went there for a while 2018 and 2019 and their counselors for pathetic personally I question whether or not they even had psychology training they never offered a single bit of advice or suggestions how to deal with my problems and every 6 months my counselor would leave and they tell me I had to meet a new counselor the last counselor not only did the offer any advice he looked at me said I think you're just dissatisfied with life then covid-19 happened and he left they told me I had to talk to someone that I never heard of or met on the phone for counseling couldn't do that because that's part of my problem they said well then there's nothing we can do for you and shortly after that they gave out their patient list the third party survey Company so they could call us over and over and harasses trying to get us to tell them how great navos is. Which is both unethical unbelievably unrealistically unethical and a totally illegal violation of patient confidentiality which says they're not allowed to tell anybody anything about you even whether or not you are a patient without Express written signed authorization from patient which they did not have suggestion is don't go to Navas because their counselors are terrible you can't even see an actual psychiatrist except for them to prescribe medication they're completely and totally unethical they will not eat your information confidential top of that they shared a building with Public Health and when I tried to go see my doctor they stopped insisted that I had to tell them who my doctor was who I am and why I'm seeing a doctor and when I refuse they seek their giant Samoan security guard on me and refuse to allow me to go see my doctor which is also unethical and illegal because novice not connected to Public Health they simply shared building and they have absolutely no right to even ask why I see a doctor for anything else regarding me and my doctor and my personal business with my doctor don't go there system is set up just to keep their patients coming in Forever so they can get paid by your insurance the government they don't give a crap about their patients for solving their patients problems they're unethical your information is not safe with them they're psychiat rist and even evaluating he just asked me if I wanted medication what medication I want I mean I'm not a doctor or anything but I don't think that's how it's supposed to work like I said don't go there I would give them minus five stars if I could have you'd be better off getting your counseling from a drunken monkey place should be shut down in their license and the licenses of their employees should be permanently revoked
If I could leave a 0 star I would. I'm so sick of how this place treats my son. I treated me like a pos so that's why I left. My son is constantly get switched medication doctors and counselors. He gets comfortable with someone then all of a sudden they leave. They also haven't given 3months worth of meds like they were and claim they forgot .. then today we were on telehealth for 30min only to be told his app was 1010 and I know it was at 11... this is the 3rd time they've don't this to us. And I'm pissed and sick of them doing this. Now my son will be out of meds for 3 weeks by the time he goes for the appointment next week. I'm so sick of this place they need to do better period
My therapist accused me of trying to dodge meetings when the program for online therapy wouldn t work, he scoffed at me, ignored everything I said and sent him trying to get help, but eventually fixed the problem albeit VERY unprofessionally (argued and treated me like I was a habitual liar). After 3 half wasted sessions (due to going similarly) It felt like I was talking to a random dude, not a licensed professional. I tried to communicate with him about ceasing my current program to go with another company and he ghosted me and my guardian. No texts, no calls, even avoided our planned meeting. Called in and was met with a guy who knew nothing except what I already knew (meeting time) and couldn t contact my therapist OR his supervisor.Update: Psychologist I had scheduled was extremely nice, so it s good to know that their staff aren t all frustrating, when I did get ahold of people they were great at their jobs and helping me as well. The therapists supervisor was very professional, she could ve shown more sincerity but I can t complain. She gave me good options and was open about my reservation on making a decision immediately. Communication is a bit difficult since you get voicemail a lot, but the supervisor did call me back the next day after leaving one. Overall give it a shot, but voice your opinion if you feel like somethings not right, they will 100% help you as far as I m concerned.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
