Nothing more than a government funded pill farm. They dope and never focus on your mental health. The business of making money and not helping people is what drives this center.
About Parkridge Valley Adult & Senior Campus
Parkridge Health Care - Adult and Senior Behavioral Health Care is a private mental health treatment center based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Anyone 18 years or older can participate in their partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient program.
Both partial hospitalization and outpatient care allow you to attend treatment without having to stay in a hospital or clinical residence. While both are considered intensive forms of care, partial hospitalization is the more intensive level of the two. Staff can assess your needs to determine which level of care is right for your situation.
The aspect of this facility’s programs I like the most is the option of collaboration. It’s not uncommon for a treatment program to invite your family to participate, but here they extend the invitation to all areas of your support network. This can include friends and other support programs and groups you participate in.
Having a strong support network is vital to long term recovery, and their involvement in your treatment can help strengthen them as well. If you want to have those most important to you involved in your treatment process, this might be a good program for you.

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.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
