About Perimeter Beacon Behavioral Hospital
Beacon Children’s Hospital is a behavioral healthcare and addiction treatment provider in Luverne, Alabama. Services also include valuable community resources, primary medical care, crisis stabilization, and community referrals.
Beacon Children’s Hospital offers several addiction programs and services, including mental health assessment, diagnosis, counseling, inpatient dual diagnosis treatment, outpatient treatment, and medication management.
These assessments help staff determine the severity of addiction and whether a patient has any co-occurring mental health disorders. Following an assessment, the clinical team creates an individualized treatment plan and supports the patient’s recovery with individual and group counseling.
Residential dual diagnosis treatment uses evidence-based practices to treat addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Available for adolescents and adults, treatment begins with a mental health assessment and development of an individualized plan of care. Patients may attend individual and group therapy, as well as support meetings.
An assessment with the on-site psychiatrists can help to determine if medication may be supportive in the rehabilitation process. Patients meet with a psychiatrist several times for an assessment, diagnosis, and creation of a treatment plan. During treatment, patients meet with a psychiatrist at several intervals to determine progress and adjust medication as deemed necessary.
Latest Reviews
Experiences I had as a patient of this hospital:- The staff did not care at all. They liked the patients maybe, but clearly just wanted to get a paycheck- The night staff was outright malicious at times. One of them got furious and yelled at a 6 year old patient for calling him "Post Malone". They talked about superheroes and uncomfortable political topics all night while we tried to sleep. They did nothing when I said there was a cockroach in my bed. They made fun of a 7 year old kid for peeing in his bed. Horrible people that should not be around children.- There was no effort to separate the small children and teenagers. As a result, we all had to learn dumbed down obvious topics as activities.- They made absolutely no effort to get my required school websites approved and simply just gave me random worksheets every school period. Teacher did not care at all and was very cold to us.- Frequent misgendering of trans patients. I understand not everyone agrees with them, but you are actively putting them in a worse mental state by doing this. Cruelty for no reason.- You can't use the bathroom at all without the door being wide open.- The daily shower rule was not enforced. Many of the boys did not take their daily shower.- I saw at least one cockroach every day in the sleeping area.Overall, this hospital is terrible. The staff simply does not care about any of the patients. They are very cold and make you feel as if you are just another patient to get through this week. There was absolutely no privacy even in the bathroom. I have no idea how this place compares to other nearby hospitals, but if you have a choice, I would not send ANYONE here.
Great place. I was originally placed in a group mostly of girls. Precisely, all girls. Only reason why I left that group and placed with the boys was because like 3 or 4 of them had a crush on me, and the staff was concerned about that. Don't blame them. When I was with the boys, I felt happier. Having a group of people I could actually relate with, and was on the same hall as them was great. I stayed for about a month, before I was released at the end of October of 2021. I'm 17, almost 18, and though much mental health problems got worse, Beacon helped me a bunch. I thank them , who kept me alive another few years. I did have about 6 more hospital visits since my beacon visit in 21' , but I love how they treated me. No other hospitals treated me like beacon did.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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
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
Adult Program
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 Adult Program
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.
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.
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.
Rehab treatment in Alabama often involves motivational interviewing (MI). This is an evidence based approach that helps you discover your own interest in change. You'll decide for yourself what next steps you're willing to commit to in order to reach your goals.
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.
During family therapy, you'll address the impact that addiction has had on the family unit. Family therapy fosters open communication between members to help resolve conflicts and create a supportive environment. This helps to improve relationships and therefore aids in the recovery process.
Proper nutrition increases comfort levels during detox and supports healing during drug rehab in Alabama. Nutrition therapy provides this crucial, balanced nourishment and helps you develop skills for long term health throughout recovery.
