Medical briefcase icon 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.

Heart icon Treatment

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I was told as soon as I got there that I was not allowed to leave and had to say for the duration of my stay even though I did not go there to stay. They absolutely do not care about anyone of those kids in there. I saw a girl who is still in there have a seizure and all they said was that she was being dramatic and to get up. I have never seen such a lack of care. I was given so many different pills I have no ideas what besides 65 mlg of sleep pills, anxiety meds, and antidepressants 4 times a day with 4 or 5 other pills. All they do is try to drug you up so you don t feel anything. It is always freezing and never gave me a sweater when almost all the other girls had one. While I was in there I saw a girl take off her boot and beat another girl with it and no one did anything. On one occasion this nurse came in while I was napping and she put 3 more blankets on me after waking be up to go get my blood drawn if that was all the blankets I had and I said yes they only give us on I was very grateful for her. I also really like my therapist Anna she was the best for one session she took me outside to talk and I was so happy to go outside for the first time but nothing I learned from the 2 sessions we had was helpful for me.And while I was only in there for 5 days they served uncooked chicken it was all the way raw and 3 times they served hot dogs. And all the food had no flavor. I almost passed out when we went outside for an hour and they had to hold me up to get me back to the unit and then I got in trouble for passing out while I was sitting down. Also when we were walking outside they told us if we looked outside we would have to turn around and go back to the unit. And I was so confused like why would we have to do that. I could go on and on about how horrible it is but I m not I already mad my point. Please parents don t send your kid here go to a better place. I will forever be traumatized from this experience.

Hated it, I m still traumatized to this day. This was an absolute hell and I felt like the staff didn t really care at all. That wasn t therapy, that was a sad excuse.I was put in a section with other teens my age and many of them made me very uncomfortable but I couldn t do anything except deal with it. Two were obsessed with me and one hit me in the face with a ball and called me stupid. Absolutely nothing was done about that whatsoever. Legal names and pronouns are based on what s on your birth certificate, if you asked them to call you differently they refused and said they didn t have a choice or something along the lines. They made us go to the gym that smells like sweaty feet and school everyday, the scrubs they make us wear are garbage. It was absolutely FREEZING 24/7. I asked for a sweatshirt several times and they never gave me one when everyone else had one. No extra blankets were provided and if you had a roommate you would just put one bed out in the hall and switch every night. Neglect, Passive aggressiveness, nonchalant and uncaring people is what you will find at southwestern behavioral center. The only good thing about it was the food, but even so I wouldn t send my worst enemy there.I seriously recommended going somewhere else, unless you want to be much worse than you were before. Save yourself, and your loved ones, please.

This is by far the most uncoordinated mental health facility I've ever encountered. Covid really did a lot to facilities people are so unorganized and there's people and places that they should not be. The intake is a joke I literally did their job for them. Amanda is suppose to be one of the managers and she needs an assistant cause she cant keep up. I was told that there was no bed for my daughter we may have to go out of state. So me being in the medical field I started my own digging. I called facilities not only did I find three beds in oklahoma but I had to get names and faxes call to verify that all my childs information was received. We were at swmc hosp for over 40 hours. My daughter was even forgotten about at the hospital by nurses my child did not even get her mental health meds for 40hrs. I was back and forth Amanda didn't even want to return my phone calls. The director at the hospital told her to call me at the hospital and she didn't I had to call her myself as well. What is a shame we live in Lawton and whenever my daughter has problems again I'm going to have to encounter the same kind of problems again. Due to lack of resources communication and unorganization the process is going to be a long road. And she had the nerve to give me attitude when they drop the ball. I will make sure to know I have to do their job if my daughter needs Services again so we'll be going to Oklahoma City no ifs ands or buts. As you can see I don't think this place will ever have a five-star rating. Look at all the other complaints and I hope that other people will share their experiences well. Maybe if they're understaffed they can get fully staffed so that way that they could get their ratings up and be a better facility for children.

This entire facility is a joke. From the "school" to the therapist. IF they have either. My child went a week without school because it was "too cold" and they didn't have heaters. The therapist is just as useless as the air system. Talks in circles, contradicts herself and doesn't hold the patient to any sort of accountability.I honestly feel like my child will be leaving here worse off than they were when admitted

Staff were emotionally abusive to my child and put her 5 medications at once. They yelled at her for not raising her hand to speak and ignored her requests for care and refused to give my child her moisturizer for her skin condition resulting is serve itchy cracked skin do not send your child here.

Don't send your child here. It's a prison, there were never any therapy sessions, the school is bush league and there is very little interaction between the nurses and patients.Most of the negative reviews are from kids that have grown into adults come back to tell other adults not to do this to your children.It's literally a prison for kids. Scheduled wake/sleep/yard/eat/work times with alarms on every exit and plenty of fights.

Locked my wife in a room as a kid and left her for 48 hrs not knowing where she was and they didn't realize she was missing. Prescribed her medications that could kill her. Also told her to still shower in a shower that water was just running down the wall instead of coming out of the head, and yelled at her for washing her hair in the sink too because she couldn't in the shower.

Please consider taking your child to any other hospital other than this one. I was not pleased that this was the first clinic available while sitting in ER for many hours. I have worked with this hospital in the past and have found it to be just the same now as it was then. Very frustrating. My daughter was admitted almost six weeks ago. The first week in, I anticipated receiving the first medication phone call. I did not anticipate all five medications being given at one time. Any other hospital we ve worked with in the past with other children, gradually introduced a medication after spending time with the child s team. The nurse that phoned seemed very agitated when I did not give an immediate yes and seemed very taken aback when I told her I wasn t going to allow my child to be given Lithium on top of the other new medications. All of which the pharmacist advised caution due to the high dosages and them being within the same class. Every week, we would have our therapy sessions by phone and at the end of the call I would ask what my child s diagnosis was, never getting anything other than, you ll need to call and speak with the psychiatrist. Each time I ve called, the phone has continued to ring and ring without an answer. My daughter did not have any complaints about staff being improper or rude to her. She said that they were pleasant. She did note that a staff member was advising other patients about if they were pulled early, they would not receive their medications. This made her very nervous. My child had a continuous rash off and on. Has spoken about falling asleep during sessions because she was very tired. It was brought to the doctors attention but nothing adjusted. When I mentioned pulling my child after being their for almost five weeks, I was told it would be against medical advice and was then followed up with how they could and would take me to court if the doctor doesn t not feel she s ready. I can understand if it was a short period of time, but after five weeks of being told, we re continuing to work on our goals, and will continue with the plan. Still no diagnosis. I was spoken to like I had lied about calling to speak to someone about her diagnosis.After a nurse was called in to speak about my child mentioning being given different medications, she confirmed how the possibility of reaching no one was very likely. Only then did the therapist step back in and tell me the official diagnosis and that the therapist doesn t call or reach out to parents. Perhaps we were spoiled in the past with each member of the team calling to introduce themselves, talking in depth about the treatment and diagnosis, and giving a call for permission for everything from medication, lip balm, or a laxative and keeping us updated about everything going on. We were not told about the lethargy, the incontinence, or the rash she experienced while here. We mentioned revocation of treatment twice and both times were denied. Instead, given a single day pass one week and then discharge closer to the 6th week. Upon discharge, we tried to pick up the medications from the pharmacy because they were sent ahead. Soonercare let us know that discharge was not showing on their end and it was a fight for the pharmacy to fill the medications. Even now, we still do not have all of the medications prescribed. All six. My daughter is currently going through withdrawals. She has stated that she feels worse now than before she went in. Her depression is better but everything else is just worse. That she feels like she needs to return to a hospital just to feel normal but that she doesn t want to feel excessively tired anymore. She is distraught that her life is not normal . This has been her first experience and so far it s been horrible. Please do not leave an auto reply of how I should call and speak with whomever about my experience. I have no intentions of returning to this place or utilizing its care again. I would rather make a daily commute to Oklahoma City or Texas than this place.
