The female psychiatrist here is awful. Just sits there and nods at whatever you say. No advice, pointers, etc. And her sessions are only about 25 minutes, then next. They lie about scheduled appointments, then say that you didn't show up. Lorena is a JOKE "counselor". Stay away from this place!

Everything was good but my complaint was at one time my insurance was not covering the bill anymore and I had no more refills and I told the doctor if I could just get one last refill to hold me on until I found a doctor and the doctor said no because I'm not getting paid so I had to go to my my primary doctor and he helped me out for 3 months until I got another psychiatric doctor and what was the problem on just going on your computer and giving me one last refill and I thought they cared but I see money is more important

Accepted Insurance

Palisades Medical Center Counseling Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

Treatments

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
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.
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.
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.

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 means opposing. The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is to learn how two things that seem to be opposite can actually be true. You learn how to accept yourself while also making changes. The focus is on accepting your emotions and changing how you manage them.

The receptionist has an attitude problem. He kept rushing my elderly mother to finish the paperwork. This is a red flag mind you the place is empty. This is horrible place to come if your looking for treatment. The staff keeps peeking through the window taking turns to see who is sitting down. Please give the guy receptionist a counseling appointment since he needs it.

horrible place if i could rate it zero i would. they deny help and the man talking to my mom in the phone was disrespectful telling her she has to wait 6 month and give them a call to make an appointment because she missed a call that she never received. WHAT TYPE OF PLACE IS THIS.

Pure quackery. The woman who calls herself a counselor, Stefanie Lopez, looks and talks like a serious case of depression. I was expecting a call back from a colleague/the management in response to my concerns about the practice. That was almost a week ago. I am surprised that this is what's being offered to people in 2021.

This place only cares about those medicaid dollars you bring in.They're a medicaid mill.They prolong "treatment" to ensure money keeps flowing in, and offer no structure or goals to the treatment.Avoid this place if you want genuine help.

This place is a medicaid mill.They treat you like a number.Their "treatment" has you coming in without any structure toward goals or targets. The therapy has no structure, and is made to draw itself out, so they can collect more and more from medicaid.If you want to just be a way for them to take money from medicaid, while your problems remain unresolved, then go to this clinic.

Very professional and courteous psychiatric and therapy staff. Best thing I ever did for my mental health. If you are struggling, get help here. Call them ahead with insurance information and availability for an appointment. You won't regret it.
