About Pineland Behavioral Health/Developmental Disabilities — Appling Counseling Center

Pineland Behavioral Health/Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) is a nonprofit organization in Southeastern Georgia that helps people experiencing mental health issues including substance use disorder. They serve children, teens, adults and seniors. At their Appling Counseling Center in Baxley they offer outpatient community based addiction treatment for adolescents and adults.

One common concern for people seeking addiction treatment is how to afford it especially without healthcare coverage. To help make getting help easy they accept Medicaid and Medicare. They also accept commercial insurance like Amerigroup and CareSource. If you don’t have insurance then you can qualify for a sliding fee scale so you can still get the care you need. Sliding scale fees are based on your family size and income.

Pineland BHDD is working toward becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). CCBHCs are designed to serve anyone who needs care, whether it’s for mental health, addiction or other health issues. The best part? They provide services to people regardless of income or insurance and that includes veterans and active duty military members.

Their outpatient addiction treatment program includes individual, group and family therapy. Group therapy can be especially valuable by offering a space for people to connect and share experiences. Family therapy helps loved ones understand addiction. It’s really important to involve family so you have that extra support during recovery. Therapy also helps uncover the root causes of addiction including related issues like anxiety or depression.

But the program doesn’t stop at therapy. You’ll also get a better understanding of addiction and learn practical tools to prevent relapse. Aftercare is a big part of the process too. It includes follow up therapy and connections to local support groups like 12 step programs. Nurses and doctors are also available to help with any health concerns you have during recovery.

Pineland BHDD wants to build a community where people can get the support they need to recover, live their best lives and feel included. With their community-based approach they offer a place where you can find the care you need to move forward in recovery.

Referred here by Doctors of Compassionate services for my needs after stroke. Asked them before from Jesup did they take my caresource insurance through Martketplace they said yes. I arrived 20 minutes before appointment time and asked again before feeling out paperwork they said yes. After filling out waiting 30 more minutes another lady came up to windows told me they don't take my insurance, I just started crying and very upset because they lied too me twice when I really need help with my emotions negativity, anxiety, and more. I give up on trying to find counseling and stop paying for my health insurance as no one accepts it. Frustrating, aggravating, upsetting, sadness, angered. What is the point. If on Medicaid or disability you get all the help you can get.

I take my teen there for counseling and med management. In all honestly I'm VERY unhappy with the run-around we get at this facility. They have several P.A.'s or DNP's that all work under one MD (The MD is NEVER there) and the DNP's can't sign any prescriptions for controlled medications (only the MD can). Have to make a separate trip to come back a week or so to pick up prescriptions. We live an hour away so this method of doing business is very inconvenient for us. Counseling is also on a rotation. Most all is performed virtually and not in-person and you never seem to see the same person twice. So, in short, I would not recommend if you have access and the ability to go someplace else. I gave credit (extra star) because this place is open if you are in crisis mode and need someplace immediately, otherwise do your homework and find someplace else.

I tried to take my 12 year old here and they were very rude. They wanted me to provide income that I don't have and lie on paper. They made my son feel so uncomfortable. I would NOT recommend going here unless your a drug addict and need injections.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs 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. Intensive outpatient services are provided for adults and adolescents if more intensive, structured services are needed to promote recovery, utilizing evidence and research based practices.

Outpatient

Outpatient programs 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. Outpatient Programs provide flexible services which include assessment, individual, group and family therapy, education, relapse prevention, aftercare components, nursing and physician services.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
