I'm giving credit where credit is due: On Labor Day Weekend, the Charge RN - who knows who she is - went above and beyond to help me with an issue. I cannot overstate how great she was at handling my issue when she didn't have to. I would also like to thank my APRN for being available, also above and beyond. I'll be mentioning both names to the Hospital Board.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

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.

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

military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

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.

The place was amazing the nurse's and doctors took very good care of me and made sure I had what I needed. Was scared when I frist got the but everyone made me feel at home. The food wasn't that great but we could eat all we wanted. It was very clean. The clothes was comfortable, I just wish they had sports bras for the women cause we were in the same area as the men. This place really helped me and I hope they can help others.

My sister has been in and out of behavioral health for over a year now for bipolar schizophrenia and every single time I've tried to contact them about her follow up or just to speak to anyone at the facility in general they have been very rude and non-compliant with our needs.. I just don't understand how people like the staff they have are employed to help people with any needs at all... this is the worst place to seek any kind of help at all I strongly recommend not coming here!!! Prayers for anyone who's gotten the treatment we have from them...

I was admitted recently under the guise of attempt to end my life even after explaining that was not the case. I have several current medical conditions as well that onset postpartum that I am struggling to cope with, and severe anxiety came as a result.Upon arrival, I was taken to my empty room where no one else was in just yet & there was POOP on the toilet seat lid and a piece of regurgitated meat sitting in the sink.I had been having lots of BP and heart rate issues, the first night this was treated with compassion & told to holler to the tech just down the hall or wave at the camera if I became symptomatic and needed to be checked. My second day, I saw the doctor who put me on a low dose BP med, and said because of my previous reaction to it, they would check on me frequently. Frequent checks were also promised by the psychiatrist. They did NOT follow through with this.I had to scoot myself around in a wheelchair (POTS) and go to find them to get help. I went to the nurses station with severe dizziness where they checked my BP and it was 143/102. This is very high for me. The nurse said verbatim, WELCOME TO POTS. Go lay down. You re fine. When I continued to say I did not feel fine, I was told to calm down and there was nothing that could be done.The entire night my blood pressure continued to be high and I felt awful. I was waking with heart palpitations and high BP. I hollered to the tech as I was instructed the first night, because no one was responding to me waving at the camera. After doing this, the tech screamed at me saying, OH ONE THING YOU AINT GONNA DO IS YELL ON MY HALL! When I asked her to not be so rude, she instructed me that I would have to LEAVE my room to get my blood pressure checked. My heart rate gets up to 170 walking, and the staff is supposed to be informed of this. I told her I was unable to, and she huffed and acted pissed and reluctantly brought the machine to my room flipping on the light and then I had to TELL her to check my pulse.When my BP came up high, I wheeled myself out there to get help, and explained that I needed the tech to be informed of my condition because she was rude, and they denied ever having told me to just holler if I needed help.I was never even counseled. The extent of actual help experienced in the two days I was there was being shoved medications and asked if I wanted to hurt myself or others. That s IT. I witnessed staff treat patients like toddlers belittling them and disregarding their needs. I don t know how ANYONE is supposed to heal in this environment. Not impressed at all.

One of the worst behavioral health experiences I've ever had. The staff are all young, inexperienced, and unprofessional. I asked one tech for the time and she blatantly ignored me, twice. I attempted to splash her with lemonade, I am not the hero here I am just mentally ill. The charge nurse then proceeded to scold me for having outburstsb and episodes of rage. It was very obvious no one enjoyed their work, in this kind of work it's important that you not only love what you do but are compassionate and patient. I was really struggling, I didn't know what I was feeling half the time and the tech on the way out door is going ti ask me AND I QUOTE "whats your problem" MENTAL Il,LNESS !! The techs name was Jaden and I did report her, though nothing was done.

I over dosed in a time of extreme struggle. I had just had surgery on my shoulder- the pain was horrendous. I didn't want to go to behavioral health, I'd heard so many bad things. Well it's all true. No one ever came to talk or counsel me , I begged them to call my regular psychiatrist, the EMT laughed at me because I was literally screaming that I wanted my therapist.They think mental health is a joke. They are mean to the older patients. The doct they have there is non caring. They wouldn't give me my meds. They dont care if you eat of not- the food is horrible. They laughed how they tricked this lady into thinking they were giving her chicken nuggets. They only allow one phone call and if you don't know the number they will NOT help you. The police on the scene said he was going to take me to jail and let me die on a cold cell floor - his words. I have PTSD so bad now from this experience. I tell EVERYONE how bad they treated all the patients.
