Empathetic Involuntary Care
Morton Plant North Bay Hospital Recovery Center is a Baker Act-receiving facility, which means that loved ones can enroll someone involuntarily to receive emergency treatment for severe mental or behavioral health concerns.
Morton Plant provides immediate stabilization services to help these people through episodes where they put themselves or others at risk. The care team has a lot of experience with striking the balance between allowing involuntary patients a certain level of independence and providing the necessary care.
Once stabilized, the care team takes them through several assessments to identify the ideal treatment method needed for their needs.
Short-Term Inpatient Addiction Care
The short-term inpatient care at Morton Plant typically takes 3-7 days to complete. Patients attend individual and group therapy sessions to discuss goal-oriented recovery techniques that can help them reclaim their lives.
Past residents mention being disappointed by the frequency of group therapy sessions. Some were unimpressed with the staff members’ bedside manner, while others admired the no-nonsense attitude the staff used throughout their stay.

My roommate was weird, and I thought it was weird in general putting mentally ill kids together despite gender. She talked to me about stuff that was very triggering, I also thought it was quite weird they had a yoga instructor come in for group and was hands on?? Very weird, some of your patients have PTSD including me and it was weird for that to be a group activity. Especially when I can be very triggering, it’s a grown man, someone I don’t know, and I don’t know his intent.! I’d choose a different one unless you’re only there for three days

I went to this place voluntarily as a minor, and not only was I being talked about behind my back by staff when I asked for them to contact my parents about me vomiting by a tech, there was no therapist on site when I asked to talk to one many times as I was extremely homesick.
The staff were rude both to me and my parents, a social worker (Starr) treating me like I was a Baker Act and giving my parents attitude when they asked if they can discharge me. She was also my therapist, I talked to her about how I felt but I just got head nods and got to talk to her in a hallway right next to our rooms for three minutes, not exactly therapy.
I was given see-through mesh underwear after arriving even though I asked to wear the underwear I had brought, an insane privacy invasion due to the fact I am a minor. While I did wear it for a shirt time, there was no reason for me to given that underwear at all, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
There was no therapy to speak of besides talking to a "therapist" for 3 minutes sometimes, and meetings with the psychiatrist not having much either. No art or group therapy, just watching TV until it was time for food, gym, or going to bed.
The foot ankles you're forced to wear to track your location and pulse was also insane to me, I understand why they're used but it's still crazy in practice.
A 13 year old boy named Isaiah Thomas also took his own life while being watched by staff. They never responded to this publicly, and never got investigated. Do not let his name be free from their minds, I hope justice can be brought to this place for all the patients.
review for techs, mr dylan, mr charles, mr rick, and riley are GREAT and they are so helpful. amazing with the patients and treat us with love and care! (tell them I said hello)

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.
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
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
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.
ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.
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.
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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
