Bad service, the employees are useless, the psychiatrist is very slow, if you want to look for a psychiatrist or a psychologist, go somewhere else, I don't recommend APS Clinics, mediocre employees, a psychiatrist slower than a turtle and a snail, and slower than Church's Chicken.

If I could give 0 stars to this place, I could do it, but since there is no damn option to give 0 stars, I give only one star, today, Tuesday, October 15, 2024, I had an appointment at 12:40 PM with Dr. Reimundi, but shamelessly one of the employees, the one at window 1, that's why I left the university, apparently it was not the same person who worked there, but another employee, that same employee told me I said they had registered me for 2pm, so I went home for lunch, and when I went to APS, I told the same employee who always works at window 1 that they had registered me for 2pm, but the psychiatrist took 2 and a half hours to see me, he saw me at 4:30pm, and at 4pm they close that office, finally when I left I looked for the prescription, I'm really very upset , because of the delay, they were full, it seems like APS is slower than church s chicken, it SEEMS like that!!!!!

Detached and slow. They make an appointment for you, but they don't attend to you at that time and make you wait several hours. When I left they had already made me wait 2 and a half hours. There were people there in the room who had been waiting for 4 hours. I feel that it is disrespectful to waste people's time, especially when it comes to their medications and psychiatrist appointments. I didn't go in for my appointment, I left because I couldn't wait any longer, I had other commitments, so the psychiatrist didn't even see me.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but donâ€™t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Outpatient

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mal servicio, las empleadas no sirven, el psiquiatra muy lento, si quieren buscar un psiquiatra o un psicólogo, vayan a otro lugar, APS Clinics no lo recomiendo, empleadas mediocres, psiquiatra más lento que una tortuga y un caracol, y más lento que Church's Chicken.

Si pudiera dar 0 estrellas a este lugar, lo podría hacer, pero como no hay ninguna maldita opción de dar 0 estrellas, pues doy una sola estrella, hoy martes, 15 de octubre de 2024, tenía cita a las 12:40 PM con el Dr. Reimundi, pero descaradamente una de las empleadas, la de la ventanilla 1, para eso salí de la universidad, al parecer no era la misma persona que trabajaba ahí, sino otra empleada, esa misma empleada me dijo disque me tenían registrado para las 2pm, entonces me fuí a casa para almorzar, y cuando viré a APS, le avisé a la misma empleada que siempre trabaja en la ventanilla 1 de que me habían registrado para las 2pm, pero el psiquiatra se tardó 2 horas y media en atenderme, me atendió a las 4:30pm, ya a las 4pm cierran esa oficina, por fin cuando salí busqué la receta, de verdad estoy muy molesto 😡😡😡😡, debido a la demora, estaban lleno, parece que APS es más lento que church’s chicken, eso PARECE!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Desogranizados y lentos. Te citan para una hora, pero no te atienden a esa hora y te hacen esperar varias horas. Cuando me fui ya me habian hecho esperar 2 horas y media. Habia gente alli en la sala que llevaban 4 horas esperando. Siento que es una falta de respeto hacerle perder el tiempo a la gente, mucho mas cuando se trata de sus medicamentos y citas con el psiquiatra. No entre a mi cita, me fui porque no podia esperar mas, tenia otros compromisos, asi que ni siquiera me atendio el psiquiatra.
