My daughter was a resident here. They hire fresh out of high school teenagers that have no clue how to handle, talk, or care for mis guided youth as they are still somewhat mis guided themselves. My daughter was not supposed to be using any electronics nor on any social media. This was not the case as staff allowed her to be. Staff allowed my daughter to watch HBO Euphoria without my consent, my daughter just turned 13. I was on the phone with my daughter and a male staff member took the phone from her and started talking to me about how I should be parenting my daughter and then told me I need to allow her home and just love her!? I asked the male staff member if he was supposed to be giving advice and what qualifies him to give this sort of advice. He stated that he gets how she feels. Not professional, this place needs major help or just to shut down. I removed my daughter from this place after a month.

I spent 11 months in this hell hole, was abused, escaped twice, got my cheek bone broken, was locked in a magnetic locking 8x8 cell for hours at a time every single day and everyone I met there left a worse person than they came, not to mention the living conditions were horrible my window used to form ice on the windowsill in the winter and I’d wake up with sores on my face because it was so cold.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

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.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

I am now 34 years old and a successful nurse and I still remember as a child at 14 years old coming to this place. There was one staff who I adored that only worked twice a week that made it okay to be there and I wish I could remember her name. The rest of the staff were racist, hateful and mean. When they kicked me out of the place and transported me back to juvenile jail I remember the staff saying how they hated the children there etc. it was pure torture and places like this should be shut down. My home life was good compared to other kids it’s just my mom would discipline to the extreme sometimes and I would run away from home.

The day this place gets shut down will be the day that every kid that has ever had to be stuck here during their hardest struggles will finally receive justice. I’ve been to Bar None twice.I went once at the age of 16 and was on shelter… and then again at the age of 17 on Haven. There is no nice way to explain the staff or anything about this place. The nicest way I can put it is…THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! I knew Bar None very well… I knew how they ran things, how they treated the residents, how the supervisors treated the employees, EVERYTHING! I was the first ever resident for the Haven facility. When I got there for my intake, I already knew what I was in for. Nothing changed. Bar None was still VERY disorganized, they had no idea what they were doing, they were not prepared at all. I was the only resident there for about 2 weeks and it was sweet at first because the staff didn’t have the ability to favorite certain residents… when residents started to come. That’s when things got worse. Staff started favoriting certain kids, letting certain residents do something and not letting the others… it was a big deal. It was constantly talked about. There was multiple conversations about the same topics. Favoritism, not following the handbook, staff making up their own rules, staff not being trained in certain situations… those were the main concerns residents were often brining up. Me being the first resident at Haven, I was also the first resident to discharge. And when I tell you my whole entire stay was a mess… I mean it. I had to focus more of my time telling the staff how to use their skills then focusing on my own mental health and the skills I can utilize for my own self. None of the staff were trained. Angela, Jenna, Brandon, Jenni, Collen, Tehya, Jamison, Riley, and Emily were some of the very few decent staff. Amber was a big problem for many residents.. she was very aggressive with the kids, loved to pick favorites, loved to punish all the residents for one kids behavior despite it being an individually based program, she loved drama, she always was making crisis worse by instigating the resident going through a hard time… she was a big problem for many residents and even other staff… she posts extremely provocative pictures online and when I saw her in my recommended feed and clicked on it not knowing it was her… I was completely disgusted. I understand people have personal lives, but the fact you are working with kids posting things like that is honestly disturbing… there were clearly very few staff that had experience in this type of field… if you read the requirements needed to be eligible for the job, it’s being over the age of 18 and having your drivers license… keep in mind your working with mentally ill children and that’s all that you are required. They clearly didn’t care if you were trained or fit for the job either… there were multiple romantic relationships between the staff which often caused issues as well. There was often staff drama that made things difficult to. The whole facility is a mess. They are constantly losing staff. They refused most of the residents their rights. When I was there, there were multiple different occasions of the cops being called and the kids pleading to the cops to do something about this place. The cops would always say “we are completely aware of the conditions and issues of this facility, it has been being looked into, unfortunately it’s a process” they even told us to call them if there were any other issues and when we tried to.. the staff would refuse to let us. I never want any kid to be in the position I was in. I was already struggling as it was and this place did nothing but make things 100 x worse for me. I beg you, if you’re a parent and your child is struggling do NOT place them here… do your research and find a facility that makes differences and helps children. Cause this is definitely not one of them.

They need to do a better job, sounds like there are a lot of runaways and being so close to a town they runaway and steal whatever they can to get away. I've read horses and cars. Crazy.

I was their between 2017 - 2018. I was the first kid to reach Phase 4 (the level system) and it was quite difficult but I eventually managed to do it. I really believe that Judy, Mickey, Lonnie, Reagan, and Jason were the best staff and were genuinely trying to help me and other kids manage our emotions better. I could tell they truly cared. I remember the Beyblade battles and the outings were also pretty awesome. I'm not sure how it operates now but when I was there most of the time the staff and residents were over all decently chill, despite a few ups and downs. In the Sunrise building (if that's what it's still called) my hand print should still be in the hallway right outside the unit as it was the tradition done for those who graduated and we're ready to move forward. It wasn't perfect, yet it wasn't bad, so I opted for a 4/5.

My best friend and I were fishing on the lake next to this place, and we were just fishing, talking to each other, minding our own business, and one of the kids who was apart of this building, came out and cussed both of us and flipped us off. My friend and I asked him what his problem was, to which he didn't respond and went back inside. I understand this place is for kids and young adults with serious maturity and behavioral issues, but my question is, where are the staff? I turned and look, and 0 staff were around when this dude cussed us out. Unbelievable.

Horrible place to send kids. Horribly under qualified staff, staff that scream at kids. Staff that are on substances. Therapists that don't care about the kids. All they do is fill beds to get money. The whole place is a health violation. Find a better place to send your kids. Staff will gossip to the kids about inappropriate stuff. This place needs to be shut down.
