Sadly, I would never send a loved one to this treatment center. My son was there and needed care and was offered none. The time he was there the center had an covid outbreak and wasn't able to offere classes and meetings. That was held against him for his time there. And ...

They never stop harassing you. They were committing insurance fraud 7 or 8 years ago and were involved in a criminal legal case against them by the state of Washington. Corruption and hypocrisy are the name of the game at ABHS.
My husband is currently here and there is asbestos in his room & Black mold everywhere. You can get sick from just breathing this is for long periods of time.
If he wasn’t court ordered to be there, I would be picking him up to go elsewhere.
The first night there, he had his shampoo stolen..no one did anything about; nor cared to. And the stories I’ve heard about other people’s stuff been stolen 🤯 blows my mind!
The “care team” that hands out meds, won’t give him his Adderall that is prescribed by his MD & has been on for years. But will give it to other people; while others get Suboxone & walk around like zombies.🧟
To top that, they close down bathrooms & showers during the day; to only 4 open for 200 men. 👈🏼 this is illegal to do. I will be talking with a lawyer ASAP.
This facility is just going through the motions to get a paycheck.
Hopefully nothing happens like what happened at Green Hill!!
The worst possible experience. My dad was sent here as a transfer from a psychiatric hospital as part of the discharge plan. We were told he would be there for a minimum of 30 days depending on an evaluation. There was a detailed discharge plan and I was to be notified of any changes and if/when he was to be discharged. He was at this rehab location for maybe two nights and then just released after an evaluation with zero notice to myself or anyone… we needed the heads up to come up with a plan for him as he is an alcoholic with brain damage, of course he went and used the cash he had on hand to drink right away and now we are stuck dealing with the clean up. So upset, we needed to have a plan in place to avoid this happening and this place couldn’t communicate, also have zero information on how to reach them directly. Extremely disappointed.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
