Some therapists made an active effort to ignore your actual needs and thoughts. Instead of dealing with that, they over drug you. Unless you have Medicaid, they aren't really interested in taking you in, even with private insurances.

Latest Reviews
If you're a parent reading these reviews with hope, or the ones on yelp or Reddit, I'm sorry to tell you this facility is not your answer. Through our experience, these reviews recently became our own reality.I personally find it insulting that this facility markets towards military families; yet as a well decorated Marine, combat veteran, I can tell you that the rot at the center of this facility is the lack of leadership, supervision, and integrity as a whole.Much like you we had hope, and that hope turned into a disastrous nightmare that has only made our child worse after an almost 8 month stay at BRC. When we enrolled our child here we had reasonable expectations of the facility; trust, structure, professionalism, and a little human decency.We took our child to BRC trying to stop their behavior before it became violent and physical. During their time there this is exactly what their actions turned into; to include our child's threat and attempt at self harm.Dr.M was great. He listens, he educates, he cares. Education was flawless, they operate with a true leader at the helm. After that, anyone with director in front of their name; will lie to you, fail to hold their subordinates to any standard, and look to discharge your child if you express concerns, no matter their validity. So much so that we had to contact the CEO and COO directly.During our experience the dorm staff carried themselves like overpaid, immature, babysitters. They didn't hold our child to their treatment plan, rather coerced them from bad behavior through their shift utilizing their own techniques. These tactics included bribery and lying to the child regarding their treatments progression. This became such an issue the director of boy dorms told us directly, a staff member overstepped her authority in not following the treatment plan and was counseling our child via their own methods, even though they're not a counselor. Yet this person was our child's advocate and subsequently allowed to continue supervising our child for months after.We had issues getting our child a haircut. I had to drive 5 hours round trip just to get them a haircut at one point. Our child was then allowed to have slashes cut into their eyebrows when a staff member took them for their next haircut. You can Google the many meanings behind the slashes. How this is allowed at a behavioral center is mind blowing.Staff also at one point referred to our child utilizing derogatory terms as well as refused to get their clean laundry over an entire weekend. Instead our child had to rewear dirty clothes. When asked about this it was deflected for weeks on end.Upon a weekend visit staff signed our child in under another child's log and then walked away leaving the open log book with everyone's information in the open. I have a list of the children there, their parents, and their contact info. Surly this must be a HIPPA violation.To make this whole situation even worse, since they'd given up on our child we had zero contact from any personnel at the facility; toinclude the coordination of our child transferring to another out of state facility.The lack of communication between the employees at BRC, inadaquet supervision from staff in the dorms, inability to sustain a treatment plan, and the continued failures from the directors to resolve issues as they occurred; is completely repugnant.It's tough for any parent to come to the realization that their child is beyond their own care. As a parent it goes against every fiber of their parental being, to relinquish that trust onto someone else. That trust and confidence is wholeheartedly absent at BRC. How many of the staff and directors are still employed here and the facility not investigated is bewildering. I wish you and your families the best in getting the help you need but again, this facility tragically is not it.Sadly this chapter in helping our child has left us feeling that we've further failed them, as we entrusted BRC with their care. Don't accept that same failure for your child.
Our son was in here several years ago. It was so helpful with family counseling and he didn t fall behind in school. He was in for a few months. After looking at all the other facilities, this one was like a college campus. It made a huge positive difference in his life and ours.
I stayed here for a month exactly cause I was pulled out. I have BDD and have heavy care about my looks to the point it messes with my daily life. They don't seem to care about that, I couldn't go to school due to me dealing with anxiety of other people and fear. Since I didn't go, they took away fun activities from me. The people were fine, the staff was unprofessional and would make fun of me sometimes. They don't seem to understand mental illness.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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
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.
Inpatient 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
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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.
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.
