About University Behavioral Health of Denton

University Behavioral Health, located in Denton, Texas is a mental health care facility that provides inpatient and outpatient services for adults and adolescents aged 13 to 17. They offer a comprehensive approach to alcohol and substance use disorder and co occurring mental health disorders.

Their inpatient program often starts with medical detox. During medical detox individuals receive FDA approved medications to help with withdrawal symptoms during the first stages of recovery. The use of medication assisted treatment (MAT) during detox helps treat withdrawal symptoms and helps detox be safe and as comfortable as it can be.

During inpatient treatment you’ll work with medical and addiction professionals to develop a patient centered treatment plan with trauma informed care to meet your unique needs. The length of inpatient stay is determined on a case by case basis but can be as much as 90 days. Treatment not only addresses alcohol and substance use disorder but offers care for co occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and PTSD.

Outpatient programs at University Behavioral Health include partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and outpatient individual therapy. PHP programs are full day programs but you live at home in the evenings. IOPs offer at least nine hours of treatment per week. During general outpatient care you’ll be at the center one or two hours per week. You may also have access to aftercare services such as employment and housing support.

They accept most commercial insurances, Tricare and Medicare. University Behavioral Health is accredited by the Joint Commission.

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This place just got a new director of outpatient services who has a reputation in the area of fleecing and restructuring places to decrease level of care and increase profit margins. Be wary of this place in the next few months, at least on the outpatient end.

To be as authentic as I can, I would like to say UBH not only helped me mentally, it also gave me the tools and skills to walk through life and pass on to others. The food was outstanding, the housing was superb, and astounding would be an understatement when it comes to the staff. Unit 4, which is the military unit at the moment, has nurses Andy, Julie, Mindy, and Mama V , who are excellent providers and are the pillars for UBH. Techs Keyia, Christian, Vic, and Zach are exceptional caretakers and are without a doubt some of the best people I ve met in my life. They all put in the work to make sure I was always doing well. And to top it all off, my therapist not only put in the work, time, and effort, they also took time to educate me about myself and life. Hydia(I hope I spelled it right), Armond, and Lexi Rae made me feel alive and at home even when I felt like I wasn t human. If I could give them a raise I promise I would because some of the things that they thought me will forever resonate and help me to continue being a positive light. I hope that you read this review before you pay attention to the low star reviews from others. UBH WILL HELP YOU KEEP A POSITIVE STREAK GOING. And if you have any problems, do not hesitate to call for Ms. Monique, she is there for the patient and will make sure that your experience and treatment goes as smooth and comfortable as humanly possible. Thank you for reading.

It was okay, but they need to stop grouping PCU with Unit 6. They don t even last 3 hours in the unit anyways, so why bring stress to the people that aren t mentally disturbed. Every roommate I had was sent to PCU after 3-6 hours, and they didn t need to be in Unit 6. Also my roommate got arrested not even a day after being released for being high on meth. He was casting spells and speaking in his own language from 2am-6am.

I went to this facility a few years ago because a doctor said I needed treatment and let me just say it was the most traumatic experience I ever went through. When I got there it was so chaotic , there was a girl screaming and they had to restrain her. The food made you sick so they put me on ensures. I was very weak and not feeling well. One time I almost passed out and not one of the techs helped me . You got no privacy at all. People would watch you go to the bathroom and come in when you were taking a shower. The shower felt like needles. During group therapy time, you would hear very heavy things being discussed and that would be traumatic too. They would give out of control patients shots to calm them down. You barely got any outside time. I shared a room with a transgender person and that made me very uncomfortable. We were treated like prisoners basically. I do not recommend this place. Please do not send your kids here for mental health treatment. There are much better places than this hell hole.This place needs to be shut down. Was just reading some of the recent reviews and it made me sad to hear the experiences of many.

First time being admitted to a mental health facility and let me tell you, I will NEVER seek help from any facility after my experience with UBH. I was given medication I DID NOT NEED. I wasn't aware of what was being given to me or why until after I was discharged and sent home with the same medication for psychosis. I don't suffer from this and i have never been diagnosed with any mental illness. I took the medication a few times at home and realized every time I took it, I felt like I was high/drunk and could not function correctly. I stopped taking it and about 48hrs later, I was back to my normal self.My first day there was okay, I was confused as to where I was or why. I remember having paperwork with me and setting it on the nightstand in my room but when I woke up the next day, it was gone. The days that followed were a NIGHTMARE.Staff was rude, cold, uncaring and unprofessional. I felt targeted the entire time. No one would help me when I asked for help, and when they did help, they were extremely unprofessional. I remember two female staff members documenting my tattoos or something (whatever medication the hospital I was at prior to being admitted made it hard for me to retain much of what happed) and remember them removing my top. Another female staff member helped me shower for some reason, made me undress and shower infront of her. She also VERY aggressively shoved a towel in my face to wash it. When I attempted to take a decent shower on my own, she made me get out.All the other patients seemed to have their own clothes, I was still in the blue top and bottoms the hospital provided. I saw them take the bags I had with me in the hospital behind their desk that is at the entrance of the facility. There were clothes in there that my family brought for me, so I don't understand why they would not give them to me.Every time I tried to do an activity, get food, water, supplies to get clean, they would be rude or deny it. Everyone looked at me like I was a freak when I was just trying to function while being drugged by the staff.One night, I remember having what felt like heart palpitations. I was taken back to the hospital I was previously at and looked after but after getting home and reading the side effects of Seroquel, I realized it was the medication that was causing the issues. I could've died in their "care".The worst is they kept saying two completely different things the entire time. I was told I needed the meds then told I didn't have to take them if I didn't want to. I was told I needed to be inpatient, then told i could do outpatient on my own. When I attempted to do so, they denied it and I was sent home with my mother who, I believe, was told something completely different because she refused to let me leave her house and she was forcing me to take the medication.Once I was able to go back to my own home, I called UBH to ask them for my medical records there, they transferred me to someone that could get that for me but I have yet to hear back from them.Overall, would not recommend this facility. I left traumatized and with more mental issues than what I came with. I'm now trying to recover from my experience here. Please don't leave your loved ones at this horrendous place.
