Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

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.

The therapists are good, but the billing and front staff are terrible. I have had multiple occasions where they incorrectly bill the sessions and I have had to contact them about it. The front desk staff isn’t helpful or communicative. Beware of the issues with insurance and billing if you do therapy here.

Review is solely for front desk, not quality of providers - please invest in better procedures and staffing for front desk. I was on waiting list for therapy for months and I would receive emails with an appointment time slot that were “first come first serve,” email them back within 10 minutes or less, and be informed that the slot was gone. This felt like they were dangling appointments and life-saving care over my head like a carrot on a stick for months and naturally worsened my health. They operate similarly for psychiatrist appointments and prioritize efficiency over patient well-being. Recently, they seem to have shifted to require calling for appointments. However, they never pick up the call directly and I spend anywhere from 5-20 minutes on hold before I need to hang up. Scheduling is like trying to find your way out of a labyrinth that keeps changing every few minutes. Please do better 🙏🙏

I've had two meetings here where my therapist just didn't show up. Before that, getting the appointments was a battle. I am often contacted on friday evenings with a 24 hour deadline to act, or sent a time consuming test to take just hours before my appointment. I have not been able to see my psychiatrist for a month. I finally had an appointment yesterday and she did not show up. I have not been able to get ahold of the office and I have no way to contact my psychiatrist. It seems like they're working against me as i'm trying to get help for myself. It's impressively disorganized.
