Accepted Insurance

Strategic Behavioral Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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

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

Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This place kept me from myself.

This hospital, if you can can refer to what I a about to describe as a hospital, is the worst place that could have gotten involved in my 14 year old sons mental health care. Some background info: 1. my son was running away and was gone for about 3 weeks living among some homeless and turned 14on the streets of Asheville NC while we had a search party going for him everyday 2. he was off his medicine 3. we had no way to keep him safe at home. Our only option was to put him in a hospital that was in patient and the only choice that we had from our medical and rooms available was THIS PLACE! We lived a little over 5 hours away and my son was taken by a hospital bus from the emergency room (where I took him immediately upon finding him). There were some major things that happened and why I advise not to bring anyone you love here if you have any other choice. I will list the things that happened so anyone who choses to not read this may still see the problems of the facility.1. I said NO to THORAZINE SHOTS they reworded and rephrased trying to trick me into consenting.2.They called me multiple times a day for these tried consents even the 4-5 hrs 6am-12ish am that I waited tables in the morning. Mostly trying to ask this while knowing I am at work. These calls took place in the morning I think to deliberately catch me busy and off gaurd and there were no less than 3 per week just for trying to get approval for thorazine shots.(An example being my son jumped up and moved the hand on the clock forward to make time go faster. Thorazine for that??)They tried also to put him on the heaviest sedatives that I as a grown women have tried and were too strong and my tolerance to medication is not low. How can they be attentive to therapy if they are overmedicated? (side note: his therapist took him off the meds they put him on replacing with gentler meds with less side affects)3.HE WAS HUNGRY ALL THE TIME he never in his life complained about food or being hungry and he kept telling me I am so hungry. (MY HEART WAS BREAKING) I called and they said he was on double portions but he was not a kid that over ate and was a skinny kid. (NOT THAT IT MATTERS FOR A HUNGRY KID) I just could not understand why he was so hungry he said they didn't give full portions of anything and the snack was like an apple. An apple to hold you if your hungry and a growing teen is not enough!4. I was on the phone with the people in this place almost daily way more then they let me speak to him only ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK WE COULD TALK TO OUR KIDS and talking on the phone and visiting hours WERE ONLY ALOUD WHEN YOU REACHED A SPECIFIC LEVEL BASSED ON MERRIT! I had whole weeks where I didn't hear from him and was trying to call sometimes they would put him on sometimes.5. HE HAD THE BIGGEST STY ON HIS EYE THE SIZE OF A PENCIL ERACER!! Finally I insisted he have his pass to leave at christmas regardless of his status because it had been 4months and I have not seen my child! THAT is when I saw his eye they said they had an appointment for an eye doctor but NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS OR HIS MEDICAL CONDITION on the phone during our multiple phone calls. They had consent papers signed so they did not NEED to inform me of his condition I suppose!!6.Finally I was unable to talk to my son for almost two weeks 9or 10 days or something. I told them if they did not put him on the phone they would see me in five hours! When he gets on the phone he tells me he got jumped in the wreck yard like this place is prison AND NO ONE CALLED ME!!!!!!!!! He told me what happened and I drove right then to get him.7. Its not the end though... they would not release him so I had to go to the police station tell them all I am telling you to have him court ordered to be releasedThey are the worst people and do not deserve to be health care providers for youth and teens or any people!

I wouldn t recommend sending any child to this facility!

I wouldn't recommend sending your child here, unless some significant improvements have been made. I was a patient over five years ago & have long since recovered from the mental health issues that led to my stay here. However, after graduating from college and graduate school, surmounting to what I believe is not expected from someone who seriously attempted suicide, I am finally brave enough to speak out about my experience here. The treatment/care here was analogous to prison/drug-induced day care. My therapist (the same from group, individual, and joint/parent therapy) only discussed the joyous fact that she was singing Andrea Bocelli's "The Prayer" at her friends wedding that weekend. The doctors seemed only to force children to stay there as long as possible. Some of the staff was friendly and actually seemed to care, but many (most) simply treated children as if they were criminals... if the children weren't compliant, they were drugged into an almost zombie-like trance. Also, if any of the staff happens to see this and care, the educational program is quite useless. Sticking random kids, of varying ages, into a small classroom and allowing them to watch Star Wars is not anything close to "education." Finally, I would recommend serious changes in the cafeteria, although I understand funding issues were/are prevalent, I lost a significant amount of weight during my two-week stay and would have to pretend to be nauseous to get saltine crackers from the nurses. Overall, sending your child here is a great way to get rid of them, as long as you have good insurance, but if you actually care about the mental health of your child, please send them somewhere else.

This is coming from a parent. My child had been misdiagnosed, over medicated and was taken to a hospital because she was fainting from dehydration and starvation. I was never told when she was admitted in to the hospital, I had to find everything out on my own. When I visited SBC the conditions, to my absolute horror, were appaling. Some of the children were so heavily drugged, they couldn't sit up. My child was on a heavy dose of multiple medications that did nothing, except make her sleep. These people only care about money. When we did get to see her, its was for very little time, and with multiple parents and children shoved in a tiny conference room for maybe 30 mins. That was it. There was no customization in her treatment. She did not react well to the loud noises some of the more disruptive children made. From the looks of it, niether did the others that were visibly shaking at times because they've had multiple anxiety attacks in one day. We had to get therapy from a real therapist for her after this whole situation (She was there for 3 months) years later she is finally recovering from the additional trama this place has put her through. There are other mental health facilities that are worth your time and money. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE.
