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

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.

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.
