Imagine someone is on a bridge and is about to, you know. But they decide to come down. Someone talked them into giving life another chance. They found hope in walking in the woods. If only they could walk in the woods, then life would be okay. So they step down and start going on walks in the woods.But then, but then, they meet The Guidance Center, and The Guidance Center sees them and lures them in deceptively, and then breaks both their legs, spits in their face, and laughs.That metaphorically summarizes my experience at this organization.

IF I COULD THIS PLACE A ZERO I WOULD. I've been to multiple guidance centers and this is by far the worst! So unprofessional and irresponsible!! How do they expect people to seek for help and end the mental health stigma when they don't even take it seriously!? I don't recommend this place to anyone! Go anywhere else BUT HERE!!!!

Willing to listen to all my personal concerns and always come up with a plan and even back up plans to help. Seeking guidance can be difficult but this office with their amazing staff makes it easy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 thumbnail image
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.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

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.

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've been at the guidance center for over ten years . I have never once been talked to in a condescending or in a way like I'm fresh out of the psych ward. I could be wrong but I think most of these negative comments are from people that will fall apart the second things don't go their way . I could be wrong. But I've been here over ten years and only have been treated with respect!!

I have been coming here for many years (genetic condition). The girl at the front desk I usually deal with is "Annie", and she is an angel. Currently I have Dr. Kubrak, who is extremely knowledgeable, always helpful, and is a great person. My therapist, Cindy Pruett, is also extremely knowledgeable, CARING, and a gem. There is not a place (for me) that is better. I enjoy it, and always learn something from every visit. - S. Chapman

Helen Harvey is the worst counselor there is. My niece attends her sessions through. She then justified that it was ok for my niece to run away from her mother. A proper counselor would do everything she can to make their relationship. Instead she wrote to the court it would be best if she stayed away. Horrible counselor, I will be speak to any I can to get her licensed revoked. Oh yeah she also refused a 16 year medical records to the parents

The staff are rude and lie to you, then blame you for their own mistakes. The refill line and psychiatry offices, to be specific. They tell you one thing, then act extremely antagonistic when you forward them their own information with rude tones. "I don't know who told you that" - you did. The Guidance Center did. Please don't imply I'm lying, or it didn't happen - it did. For a mental health clinic, they have sure do love to prey on the mentally ill and gaslight them. I'd like to blame Covid19 for their disorganized mess and overly-stressed staff, but sadly I've had to deal with this in the past. It's nothing new. If you're looking to get mental health help, this is the kind of toxic environment you should avoid.

The staff here is the best. Yes, you sometimes have to leave a message on the answering machine. The receptionists don't just answer phones. They are super busy, checking people in, making appointments etc. but they always get back with you. My therapist is amazing. She is always on time and she has really gotten me through some rough times. When I've had "meltdowns" I left a message on her answering machine and she contacted me within 24 hours. The doctors are good. They don't do therapy. They are mainly there to keep track of your meds if you take them and make adjustments if needed. I've had nothing but good experiences here.

I dont see any good from this place. A specialist reports everything to a parent so when you do bring up a concern its not in privacy which then harms the individual there getting help. What happen to having the best interest in the client?????..?
