About Personal Counseling Services

Personal Counseling Services is a behavioral health facility located in Clarksville, Indiana. They offer outpatient treatment for adults with substance use disorder (SUD). They take patients who have both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time.

This facility accepts clients both in person and remotely. They will give you a full assessment to determine if you have a mental health condition and to figure out the level of addiction treatment you need. They take a holistic approach to mental health issues and believe in healing your mind and body at the same time.

Something unique about this center is that the therapists here use the transtheoretical model of change. This model teaches that there are six basic stages of recovery including pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance and conclusion. They have an early intervention program for people who are on the pre-contemplative or contemplative stages.

They provide group and individual therapy as well as family therapy sessions. This is important for people who have children or who are in relationships with people who suffer from substance use disorder (SUD).

Your treatment may include traditional evidence based methods such as cognative behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. They also offer music therapy which lets you create music to express your feelings. You may both compose music and use an improvisational style.

They also have interactive journaling to help you work through your feelings and find self-expression. You will write about your thoughts and feelings in a journal. The things that you write will be prompted by your therapist. They may have you write about relationships you have with certain people in your family or they may give you a word or an idea to write about.

I would recommend going just about anywhere else. My therapist would consistently end sessions early, the last one ending 30 minutes early after I had said some pretty heavy stuff to which he had no comment on and rescheduled me and walked me out. The only advice I got from him was "to look at all the blessings in my life". So "just be happy" was his main point in every session. They also have no one else available as of right now.

This place is horrible. I would never recommend them to ANYONE! The lady who provides the medication is only available on Wednesdays, which doesn t leave much room for scheduling if you have a full time job. She doesn t listen to your concerns at all. I have several diagnoses and she refused to give me any medication for my severe anxiety because she kept saying it was stress. I ve had more than enough stress in my life but that is irrelevant. Stress or not - I am still diagnosed with anxiety and have been on medication most of my life for it. Because I am on the smaller side, she refused to up my medication dose because I was petite. Petite or not - if the medication isn t working it isn t working. She and the receptionist will not call you back to reschedule. They scheduled me for a day I wasn t even in town and flat out didn t call my back when I left several voicemails to reschedule. They stopped scheduling my appointments for 3 months straight and wouldn t provide refills. It was like pulling teeth just to get a refill of the medication I HAVE to have in order to function. I ve had to literally ration out my medication and only take half my daily dosage because if I didn t have my medication I would get very sick with bad side effects. The medication works, but doesn t count if they DON T REFILL IT OR SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT TO REFILL IT. The therapist I provided was great, but also, was a scheduling issue. They quit scheduling me for her, also. Therefor I had no medication, and no therapist because everyone in the office is incompetent at scheduling. I m by no means trying to be a Karan and I am NOT one to complain about anything. But, you should not have to FIGHT for a medication they provided to you. I would never in a million years recommend them to anyone.

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.

Employee Assistance Program

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

About five months ago, I began seeing Emily for weekly therapy sessions. At the first appointment she asked me why I was there, i.e. what I needed from therapy and I told her, "I drink too much". I had no idea what was in store for me. Drinking was the tip of the iceberg. It wasn't until this morning that I really took the time to reflect on everything that I've been learning through the hard work of therapy. It took very little time to create a huge list of what I titled, "The Gifts of Therapy". I'll post some of them below for anyone who wants to take the time to read them. It might explain what therapy is about for those who are wondering.But suffice it to say, therapy is completely revolutionizing my life. I think the most frightening part of the experience is finding a skillful therapist you can trust. I highly recommend Emily at Personal Counseling Services. Without any hyperbole I can honestly say her clinical support and guidance is saving and renewing my life.I think therapy is still somewhat frowned upon in our society, now that I'm experiencing its benefits I want to sing its praises and do my best to normalize healthy living. I am astonished at all the areas of my life therapy has touched. My list of benefits is below. Remember I showed up to "manage my drinking"! lol.1. I m becoming emotionally self-aware granting me the ability to analyze what I am feeling and process why I am feeling it at a given moment.2. I m choosing to face childhood traumas with courage instead of denial and dishonesty.3. I am gaining the ability to identify emotional triggers, which enables me to no longer react in inappropriate ways to common and everyday stressors. Essentially, I don t misplace my emotional energy and take my feelings out on the wrong person or situation.4. I am forgiving others who have wronged me. In addition to that, I am forgiving myself for the wrongs I have done against myself and those I love.5. I am learning to be present with the people I love instead of mentally and emotionally dissociating from them.6. My purpose, vision, mission, and goals have never been more clear.7. I am becoming a more patient father and partner.8. I am learning how and why it is critically important to draw boundaries in relationships.10. While therapy initially triggered some depression (my therapist prepared me for this) once I pushed past it I acquired a deep personal joy that is only awarded through hard work and personal perseverance. But this joy runs deep and is drawn from a source I never knew existed or had access to.11. I am sober. I see and understand my connection to alcohol and addictive behavior in a new light. Alcohol is nothing to me. It doesn t matter, it never did. When I focus on my spiritual and emotional well-being addictions take care of themselves. Addictive behavior is like a deep sleep we enter to escape life. But spiritual/emotional growth is like swimming in a summer pool on a gorgeous sun-splashed afternoon. You don t think about sleeping when you re laughing and playing in the pool!12. I am releasing anger that has been stored inside my heart for a lifetime.13. I am learning to express my needs in relationships and to provide self-care to myself that I would quickly and readily give to others. Prior to therapy, I was quick and generous with my time and attention. I fed the hungry around me but did not save any leftovers for my own needs. I became a spiritual and emotional walking corpse.14. I have entered a deeper spirituality and found a richer connection to God.15. Therapy has improved every meaningful relationship in my life and is helping me to eliminate those that are not.
