About Appleseed Community Mental Health Center

This facility is laser-focused on individualized care delivery. This is made possible by their highly skilled recovery team. This includes licensed counselors, psychiatrists and nurses. It’s also great that the facility is CARF accredited. This means that they meet the standard for high-quality care.

Their recovery program is rooted in evidence based practices including individual counseling and group support. This helps you address the underlying behavioral issues fueling your substance use and build solid coping skills to counter potential triggers. You’ll also learn valuable life skills, strengthen emotional resilience and develop healthier relationships. These are essential in achieving and maintaining sobriety while managing mental health issues.

Their evidence based recovery approach also incorporates medication assisted treatment. This helps prevent relapse and opioid/alcohol dependence by providing a non-addictive option for managing withdrawal symptoms. The technique uses FDA approved medicine and counseling to treat substance dependence. The facility employs Vivitrol and naltrexone for this purpose to manage withdrawal. This allows you to safely undergo counseling.

The co-occurring disorder program also includes case management services to connect you with the support needed to achieve and sustain sobriety. Your onsite case manager will streamline the integration of key coping skills. This includes anger management, effective communication and problem solving skills. They may also connect you with community resources for housing, education and employment support.

I went to Appleseed for 2 years. The counselor I went to was amazing but everyone else was awful. Someone disclosed personal information to a family member and then I didn’t get an apology until a year later…Someone else was unsupportive to my family and insulted them. And everyone there feels the need to overstep. The only reason I left 1 star is because of the counselor I went to. The old crisis counselor there always had a bad attitude about everything… you’re helping people in crisis a nice attitude would help. And the front desk staff will ignore you standing there for as long as they can. I would never go here again and I would never wish it upon anyone to go here.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Clients who have just completed detox or who are at an increased risk of relapse, such as those experiencing a life crisis, typically enroll in an inpatient rehab. There, they receive housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive individual, group, and family therapy. Clients may also participate in life skills training to support their long-term sobriety. Integrative rehab centers offer a variety of evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation or equine therapy.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients who need frequent, high-level care but do not require, or choose to forgo, inpatient treatment. Most intensive outpatient rehabs offer a minimum of nine hours of treatment weekly, though clients may receive up to 20 hours of care as needed. These programs typically combine various treatment modalities, including individual, group, and family counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction and recovery education, and evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage.

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

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

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

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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 addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Outstanding Support, Compassionate Care, and Top-Tier Service! Appleseed is hands down one of the best mental health and housing organizations I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From the very first interaction, their team showed incredible professionalism, compassion, and dedication to helping individuals and families through some of life’s toughest challenges. Their mental health services are not only comprehensive but deeply personalized. Whether it's counseling, crisis support, or community outreach, Appleseed goes above and beyond to make sure every client feels seen, heard, and supported. Their housing assistance programs are just as impressive—providing safe, stable options that truly empower people to get back on their feet. What sets Appleseed apart even further is their excellent marketing and outreach. They know how to connect with the community in a real and meaningful way. Their online presence is engaging, informative, and accessible—making it easy for those in need to find help fast. You can tell they truly care, and it shows in everything from their website to the way they engage on social media and in the community. If you're looking for a place that genuinely makes a difference, Appleseed is it. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible work you do. You are changing lives every single day.
