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.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

I have been going to the center for mental health for over 15 years I am bipolar and have been having troubles getting an appointment with one of Axis's new doctors. I have run out of my medication for over 2 weeks now and being bipolar I should not ever miss my medications they don't care. They are not for the patient they are for their bottom line.

Since Dr. Morley and James left and were replaced by Dr. S and her assistant, I am appalled at the negligence in care. They left my child without meds and no refill after telling the pharmacy they were sending it over. First of all, this is a medication she s been on for 3 years. Second, it s a medication you cannot go off of abruptly. Third, after my pharmacy called 3 times and I left 3 messages marked urgent, it took 6 days to get a call back. I cannot believe they left my kid without her medication. Our pharmacist was shocked and said to go the ER to get it. I m furious.

This is the worst "doctor's office" I've ever dealt with. Expect cancelled appointments, long waits and no call backs. The doctors were helpful but the office is terrible. You can't even get an appointment scheduled. I would recommend any other mental health service provider you can find. Unfortunately, resources are limited in this region.

This is the most pathetic mental health clinic I have ever visited. Not only are they so dull that they refuse so set appointments but they also show very little care for their clients. No matter how much I attempted to explain to them walking in gives me extremely high anxiety and stress they did not care. I find it amazing how someone supposedly dedicated to the mental health of someone would so brashly brush off thier feelings. The employees are also pathetic and show no interest in helping anyone other than there own paychecks.

I had an amazing experience here. As a teenager it's hard to open up to people, the people here where so kind and so respectful. I can't thank this place enough for getting me out of a dark place and letting me know it's okay to open up to people. Thank you guys.

If you want to create more stress in your life, this is a great place to receive care...the front desk staff at the Miami Road facility is rude and the finance department is only available on their terms. I understand that the VA is a difficult organization to work with, but if I take the time to arrange correspondence and MMHC finance staff does not want to answer when they call to address open balance, that's not my problem, or my job. The point is, it should not take six months to a year and tremendous efforts from the patient to fulfill an open balance. While I had an awful experience all around, 7 months after ending treatment with this facility, the situation is finally being rectified. The finance director has contacted me directly to inform me that the finance staff will be retrained so that this does not happen to any other veterans, and to take responsibility for the billing errors. While I still would not recommend this facility, I can appreciate taking responsibility for mistakes and acknowledging that additional training is needed.

9/1/2020 This is my first negative review. But I feel it is important to let those in crisis and their families know that COVID19 protocols are not consistently followed at this facility. First of all the masks provided to patients are not adequate there is no way to fit the mask around the nose. But, more importantly the staff allows patients to pull masks down or go without a mask completely. This was extremely worrisome. I was there in crisis and this only added additional anxiety. I alerted staff but it continued throughout my 5 day stay. In addition, I was assigned a room which shared a bathroom with a male patient. I was unable to lock my side of the bathroom door which meant he could enter my bedroom via the bathroom completely out of sight of staff. This caused me extreme anxiety and it was very difficult to sleep. I felt this was inappropriate and dangerous. I let the admitting attendant know but nothing was done. On day four I had decided the risk of COVID19 and sharing a bathroom with a man was creating more anxiety than I came in with so I asked to be released. Only then was the man moved to a different location in the building and I was assured the mask rules would be enforced. So at the request of the therapist I stayed. But, the next day COVID19 rules continued to be ignored. I had to just show I was better and get out of there. I did not feel safe during my stay, I was terrified about the male entering my room during the night and felt at risk of exposure to COVID19 each day. The Center needs to improve COVID19 measures. Better masks, staff must be diligent in ensuring masks are properly covering the nose and mouth. Not sharing items, markers, pencils, etc.. Phones should be cleaned for each use and more. Above all a woman should never be placed in a sleeping area with a male, especially in a mental health facility. I left the facility in a worse place than when I arrived.Beware!

This is the worst, most unorganized mental health facility I have ever encountered. I am a professional and educated woman and a very reasonable person despite my mental illness, so I am not just saying this to throw a tantrum. This place has been passing me around for a month. All I needed was to see a psychiatrist to get my meds adjusted to help me cope with an ongoing stressful issue. Each time it has been "do this" "so and so said to do this" "that's wrong", each location/employee doesnt have the first clue about what is going on at the other locations or how they work or who is saying what. This has been tremendously stressful and has only added to the stress I am already having about the aforementioned ongoing issue. I am seriously concerned that someone who is in an even less stable condition and frame of mind would do if they had to go through what this place has put me through. Do not recommend. Go somewhere else.
