The people who work here clearly don't have the qualifications needed to treat people with conditions similar to mine, I am sure they are hired because they charge a little fee for their services.

Yvonne in admissions is easy to work with, and their intake process is very quick! Thanks for being a great partner in our community.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!! I want to start by saying that when the time comes as caregivers that you feel like you have no other options and what you’re doing isn’t working that making the decision to put your loved one in crisis in a short term facility is not easy. We struggled for weeks on end before finally making the call to Unity to get the process started. My FIL is only 63 years old and has suffered from Parkinson’s disease since 2016 and the past 2/3 years he’s began to develop dementia. He has faced SO many life altering changes just this year and was starting to do better but then rapidly declined. From June to August 19 (the day he was admitted) every day seemed to be worse than the last, no medication combo was working and his medical team was no help. We placed him at Unity on 8/19 and he completed a 20 day stay there. I was so scared of him coming home and being angry at us for our decision but we genuinely didn’t know what else to do and we were worried about his quality of life and safety. His medical team, social worker and discharge coordinator held a weekly phone meeting with us to address progress, med changes, concerns and his day to day life. We were allowed to visit him 3 days of the week and we were allowed to call him 3 other days of the week. The first couple of times we spoke to him on the phone and when my husband went to visit we hadn’t seen much progress he was still very confused and angry while still suffering with some very scary hallucinations. On day 16 we got the call that he would be discharged at the end of the week. I will be honest with you both my husband and I were very nervous and skeptical but we shouldn’t of been as my FIL came out of Unity his old self! He’s now able to hold a conversation, he’s calm and not in a constant state of anxiety/panic and most importantly he’s safe now. We were so scared of how angry he would be that we sent him somewhere and that he wouldn’t understand why but he has only been home 45 minutes and he was telling us how thankful he was, how he learned so much there, how useful this place was to him and that he learned a lot of new coping skills to manage conflict or change in the future. THANK YOU to the staff at Unity…from the admissions coordinator, to the front desk staff, the nurses, social workers, doctors, nurses and discharge staff THANK YOU!!!!! Thank you for giving my FIL his life back!!!! We are so beyond happy to have him home and very thankful this resource is here in our community!!

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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
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.
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.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
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.
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.
