So many red flags.They give a lot of misinformation.I called 3-4 times and was told to go the building in person. The building was closed due to renovations which wasn't posted on the website. 30 minutes later I found a side door, went to the office and it was locked with a sign that said they don't do intake in person.Its not unreasonable to except a business to have an entrance, hours of operation updated on the website, and instructions on how to access services. These mental health corporations are breeding grounds for mismanagement. If they want to make services accessible they could.They don't update their website. I just looked it up again and nothing has changed. And I tried to use their intake form and that did not work. It was marketing for a company they use.Mental health corporations should have reasonable accommodations at the very least. Trust score, zero.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

No they do not know what they are doing! Zero stars! Nabie Alimatu is unprofessional and bias I ever encounter in the medical field and Juliana Patman needs more training for real.

Lady on the phone is very mean and disrespectful. I wasn t able to reach anyone on the phone except for her on the main line and she rudely told me how is anyone supposed to talk to you if you don t leave a voicemail? I contacted them because I need to speak with someone, not to be talked to like I m a child. I Wasn t able to get any type of appointment and they wouldn t accommodate a time with me which is any day before 11am which I didn t think was an issue. Via email, no one answered my questions and kept telling me I have to check in mon- thurs 1-3pm which had a waiting list and I work during those hours. Don t waste your time

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you had this experience. We try to see all of our clients as soon as possible, though sometimes we have an unexpectedly heavy volume and are slowed down. You can reach out to speak with our Intake Coordinator so we can get you connected. We do check messages regularly throughout the day and will call you right back.

I was with Vesta for four years when Dr Figueroa was my psychiatrist. When he left I started seeing nurse practitioner Alimatu. She has an extremely low knowledge about medication. She also for the first year of me getting my medication s from her didn t say anything when I was addressing her as doctor Alimtau. I had to be told by the staff that she was not in fact a doctor and I was extremely shocked that for an entire year she never corrected me once. In my eyes that s fraud. She did not work her tail off to become a doctor and get a PhD. I don t even know how she was even allowed to become a nurse practitioner. I am surprised she has not severely hurt any of her patients yet. She attempted to take me off all of my medication s, some of which were habit forming, and put me on Seroquel. Taking me off of my medications without tapering could have caused severe withdrawal and would ve left me in the hospital most likely with seizures. It just goes to show that ALIMATU neither cares NOR has the knowledge to be a doctor or a nurse practitioner. She will scream at you if you try to explain the situation and how you re feeling to her. The only feelings you are allowed to have are the ones where she tells you how you have to feel. She doesn t listen to any concerns and only cares about a paycheck. She is lazy, rude and absolutely unethical.
