About BayPointe Hospital
The staff at BayPointe Hospital are specialists in adolescent mental health concerns. They provide inpatient treatment for behavioral health and substance abuse in Mobile, Alabama. There are plenty of public transit options in Mobile (including The Wave Transit System) that make reaching the hospital easy. Mobile is also home to several art and history museums you can enjoy during your visit.
Balancing Treatment With Real World Living
The adolescent inpatient program typically lasts nine to 12 months. While that may seem like a long time for your teen to be separated from their “normal” life, treatment plans at this hospital incorporate everyday living activities into treatment. This includes things like gardening and regular outings into the community.
Activities like these go a long way to making their stay feel more like home. They’re also important because they are hands on opportunities for patients to practice balancing recovery with everyday activities.
Keeping On Top Of Education
If you’re worried that treatment will interfere with your adolescent’s education, fear not. Treatment includes an academic program so they can continue their classes. Staff stay in communication with the adolescent’s school to coordinate this service.
This location accepts referrals from healthcare providers. Medicare and Medicaid can be used to pay for services, as can many commercial insurance plans. Financial assistance is also available.

THIS PLACE SUCKS, DO NOT EVER SEND ANYONE HERE, the staff is incredibly rude and they do not care about how you feel, or anything a patient was having a full on breakdown and the staff walked away TALKING about THE PATIENT to the other staff members, and saying the patient was faking and was doing it for attention, but if your looking to bring your spirits down and have the worst time of your life then this is just the place for you, THE NURSE ARE NOT REAL NURSES AND THINK THEY ARE THE DOCTORS!!!!!!!!
The staff was extremely inconsiderate of the kids sleep they would stay up all night talking very loudly. That white staff Autumn stayed on the phone at night being loud and had the nerve to be someone’s 1on1 with all that noise. The staff are extremely unprofessional and gossiped about the patients and even encouraged bullying sometimes. My first visit I had Ms. Delight as a therapist and she SUCKED BAD. Not only did she not talk about anything but she had a hard time discharging me, and the coloring books and word search books my parents bought me were given away to SOMEONE ELSE that I was in the unit with and she tried to play it off like she couldn’t find it but I was literally in the room with the girl who had the same books my mom described she had dropped off for me. Ms.Kelsey was the best part about this place her group therapy really helped me and is probably one of the only reasons I’m actually doing a bit better after the stay. They also group the kids with behavioral issues AND actual mental health issues together which caused a bunch of fights/bullying. Not only that but they would put schizophrenic patients that just bust out and start talking and singing being so loud with the kids who triggers were loud noises which I was one of them. The mattresses were so hard and gave me back and body pain every day I was there. If I wasn’t at rock bottom when I went in I don’t think I would have got better without the help of Ms. Kelsey to be honest. Oh and the bathroom was extremely dirty. There was clothes all under the sink and the toilet was unflushed I was very uncomfortable doing hygiene in there.
Danita B was the worst ever to be around. This lady will sit down and watch kids fight and laugh about it. This lady has no shame at all

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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
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.
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.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides comprehensive treatment to those who do not require 24/7 monitoring and offers a higher level of care than outpatient programs. Often referred to as "day treatment" patients typically attend sessions a minimum of 20 hours weekly, allowing clients to return home each day. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and can provide daily therapeutic sessions and services such as relapse prevention and medication management.
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
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.

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 helps you process and heal from traumatic events. Your therapist provides a safe space for you to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and integrate the traumatic experience into a more coherent narrative. This helps to promote long term mental health.
If you're experiencing relationship challenges, couples therapy in Alabama can help you work through those difficulties. You and your partner will meet with a professional therapist to work on current issues and strengthen your relationship.
