I really don t understand the low reviews. I have nothing but the highest praise for the professionals I have seen here (I mean they are like my soul mate prescribing doctor and therapist) and the exact same amazing praise for all the front desk and scheduling staff. I have been coming here for years. Thank you, keep up the good work.

Called to ask a couple questions and see about getting care here and the lady on the phone was extremely rude and unprofessional, speaking to me like I m incompetent. I will never come here or recommend. It s no surprise as the valley medical center has really just been going downhill these past few years.

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

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

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.
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

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.

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.

The way this works is you make an appointment they cancel it you redo it then they cancel it, and then they tell you they're all booked

I really liked my Psychiatrist and Therapist here, but the business side seems to have won out in the end. There is a rule that if you miss 3 appointments in 6 months they discharge you. Which apparently means you can NEVER go back, you can NEVER see anyone here again.What I think should be done, is a reevaluation of a patients needs if they miss those appointments, maybe a temporary suspension, and because they were only therapy appointments that were missed cutting them off from the psychiatrist also is unacceptable.I get it, the insurance company is not going to pay you if you did not see a patient then. I have to be on a pattern I do something at a specific time each week then I can usually remember, but I missed an appointment when my college classes ended and I wasn't on a pattern anymore, then the following appointment my Therapist was sick, this further throws off my pattern now I haven't seen them in 3 weeks, jump 2 weeks later, 5 weeks since my last appointment, of course I missed it College classes also started up again that very week. But now I have no Psychiatrist and no Therapist, and am way to overwhelmed to find a p[lace that will take me and can handle my needs. At best it looks like I will have to go through 2 or three different companies to see a Therapist and Psychiatrist in which case I will miss more appointments.

If I could give 0 I would. Been there for 3 years ALWAYS had problems getting my scripts. Collette is very rude and belittled me on the phone she should not work a job dealing with people with mental health issues. Had to call back and a very nice woman helped me get my scripts as they ve kicked me off the program I understand the policy but it s funny how as soon as you re not a patient there they will be very rude and say I can t talk to my dr when the letter I got stated I have 30 days to get those things figured out with her. I really liked my dr she helped me a lot and now I feel like I m being abandoned the pandemic has been very hard for me. But I understand they cannot be lenient on people who are going through a rough time and have family members with COVID-19 and currently having COVID-19 myself. Thank you to my dr and the other secretary who helped me and treated me with respect.

Dr. Opara has been a fantastic support for me. She is the best listener I've ever met in my life. She worked tirelessly and incorporated all my feedback until we found something that worked for me and minimized side effects, and when I went through an extremely trying time in my life, she accommodated me to help me through it. She is a deeply caring, deeply knowledgeable doctor who is fantastic at her craft. She has always been responsive and timely and offers insight and advice that is extremely helpful and actionable. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Rejoice Opara.
