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.

I struggled with drugs when I was younger and I finally found the structure I needed here. They had a routine and support that let me get my head clear and focus on actually getting better. The staff was down to earth and really cared. The place could use a few updates and this was all a few years ago but it was clean and the help they gave was solid. I’m thankful for how they helped me take steps forward and helped me get some structure at a turning point in my early years
Good place. Building itself could use work, but otherwise great. I actually got better here, unlike my other unsuccessful hospital visits at Decatur, and Mountain view. I got along with just about everyone, including the staff. At night, I'd stay up past bedtime in my room just chatting and making jokes with the staff. I'd also pull pranks with the other patients, and I think, they enjoyed it. my stay was short, but I'm doing so much better since being there. So Thank you baypoint for helping me

I went here a long time ago around 2021 this place is uncomfortable and it is not a good environment for anyone who is depressed or have anxiety or anyone at all. I was here for having an eating disorder and psychosis the staff was ok but most of my visit nothing helped me at all it just felt like I was in a cleaner prison. If you have serious problems or mental health issues I wouldn t recommend going here or taking your child here. I hear and read too many bad reviews about people and their experience staying here and they all said the similar thing as in they would not recommend it or the staff treated them horribly and they never helped but made things worse. No one should feel or even be punished because they have depression anxiety or schizophrenia or any trauma at all. They don t really help you with anything. If you re a parent or a guardians and you truly love your child if they are showing signs of illness or depression or any related mental health issues don t send your child here they will feel like a lab rat because that s how I felt when I was there. Imagine having to be in a dark gloomy room to go to sleep too with cold ac with very light blankets and a very hard bed to sleep on. After I left my back felt so bad it hurted and lasted up to a week. The showers are tiny as hell and they give you paper thin soaps and the toilet tissue are the size of baby hands and thin as heck for no reason. Also having to be in a closed space with other kids who could potentially hurt you is also not safe and a therapist who keeps asking you the same questions and acting like they are helping is also not good either. It just feels lazy they clock in ask you questions and move on that s it and mind you when you re there for your stay you ll have to get up at five in the morning every day to check your vitals and then have to beat people yelling or screaming interrupting the little sleep you can get from sleeping on that hard as bed. Moral of the story is don t go here it ll make you re mental health tank it the same before you got in or worse when you leave the place!

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
Inpatient 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.
Partial Hospitalization Program 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 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
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Alabama is to lessen the symptoms of certain mental health conditions, including substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. It is known as one of the most effective means of treatment for these conditions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy designed to treat individuals who are experiencing intense emotions. It is often used in Alabama for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, and other mental health conditions.
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 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.
During family therapy, you'll address the impact that addiction has had on the family unit. Family therapy fosters open communication between members to help resolve conflicts and create a supportive environment. This helps to improve relationships and therefore aids in the recovery process.
