DetoxAbout People Incorporated Diane Ahrens Residence
The Diane Ahrens Crisis Residence is a short term crisis stabilization center for adults in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They operate under People, Inc. which provides mental health services across the state. This is a residential unit that integrates medical and mental health care in a highly supervised setting. If clients would benefit from a referral to addiction treatment, the staff can provide that. They accept self payment and private insurance and offer a sliding fee scale if you qualify for a discounted rate.
Here, you’ll receive round the clock care to stabilize your condition. There are 16 beds available and both men and women are welcome to attend. The providers here are trained to help people who are experiencing an acute mental health crisis or emergency. Their care is based on a hybrid model, which means they’ll not only stabilize you but also help you start intensive residential treatment services.
The goal is to support you until you’re ready to move directly into one of their residential programs. Your team will help you manage your immediate needs, create a customized crisis prevention plan, and learn healthy coping skills. They’ll also teach you how to recognize the early signs of a crisis so you can get help for your symptoms before they escalate again.
The residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, away from the loud distractions of the city. Your furnishings will be comfortable, warm and well decorated to help you feel at home. There are on site workout facilities, social gathering spots, and outdoor recreation areas. You can stay here for up to 10 days as you recover.
One person who’s participated in this program said it’s a great place to go for help and noted that the staff members are very experienced. Another said they received outstanding care here, and that the support they received stopped them from harming themselves. Others have shared concerns about the structure of the program and question its effectiveness.

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.

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.

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.
