I signed myself in here for a 72 hour hold, I got here and they kept me against my will for 2 weeks. I was in 6North. I didn’t eat for the first couple of days i arrived, right off the bat i witnessed 2 girls in a physical fight. The workers will curse at you, in front of you, and manhandle special needs children. They will shove needles into a kids arm if they are acting up to calm them down. Anyone ranging from older to really young can get placed here and you WILL be mistreated. Maybe 5 staff overall were actually nice to the kids and wanted to help, but they weren’t the staff that were there everyday with those kids. They starved us, everyone would share and fight over food. The food they did provide for us was terrible im assuming jail food is better. We got 0 mental help for what we did need to work through. we listened to music and watched rated R movies all day long. They expect you to go to sleep at 8 in the dark with nothing and no one. I got a sinus infection and got no medical attention i, “slept it off.” There were code 22’s over the loud speakers 24/7, the workers would play rap music throughout the night. They would scream down the halls to each other and wake everyone up. The people that would get into fights including myself, the staff would just let them because they thought it was funny. One of the staff got into a verbal fight wanting to physically fight my roommate. mrs crystal was the workers name. They would never do your wash so sometimes you had to re wear a shirt or pants. They gave you 5 mins to shower and do hygiene. We never got any actual help. although i will say Dr. Johnson in there is amazing, but i wish she worked somewhere else. Don’t ever go to this place. I pray everyday it closes.

Mental health aids are on FaceTime all day long. When brought up, they corner the patients.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for clients who choose to remain in their homes and communities during treatment. Their services may include transitional support for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient programming. Ambulatory medical detox may be provided for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Many programs include evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients who are working professionals or caregivers. Addiction counseling and life skills training are common treatment modalities.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Intensive Outpatient

The intensive outpatient program is offered for adults and is designed to minimize a patient’s absence from work and family, while still allowing him or her to receive the intensive, thorough treatment necessary in order to overcome the struggles he or she is facing. Patients in IOP receive effective treatment that is personalized to meet their needs and enhance their progress. This program is ideal for patients who are in need of more support than traditional one-to-one outpatient services alone, but may not require the level of care offered through partial hospitalization.

24-Hour Clinical Care

Because the severity of withdrawal symptoms can fluctuate, constant monitoring under 24-hour clinical care in Pennsylvania is recommended for early recovery. As you undergo detox, medical staff will supervise your health and ensure severe symptoms do not develop or threaten your life. Professional counselors will also be available to treat mental and emotional health needs.

Treatments

Adults who are battling the distressing symptoms of mental health disorders while trapped in an insidious cycle of substance abuse can take part in our adult co-occurring disorders program to achieve the recovered lives they desire. This program is based on a medical model of treatment and arms patients with the skills needed to manage mental illness symptoms and abstain from using substances.

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.

Clinical Services

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

I was imprisoned at this place for over 6 months. I was put on a “eating disorder protocol” and could not leave the unit unless accompanied by a staff member. I was also remember being placed in random rooms with creepy paintings, one staff member in particular, lets refer to them as “Lima Beans” constantly harassed me bought me to a locked room where this individual questioned me about my “beef with Ally” it was a very strange and distressing experience. I left with a diagnosis of EDNOS and fragmented memories.

Horrible place, bugs, horrific food, creepy staff, they were unable to keep the patients safe from other patients

John Lombardo

The place is new but the communication with family and release plans are horrific. Stay away if you have a choice. Staff is mostly rude, unhelpful or incompetent. Staff including doctor never called back for 2 weeks to family in HIPAA. Poor family coordination to help patient. The one thing they got right was a serious mental health diagnosis and the proper medications. Other than that the doctor was not very caring or helpful by talking to him. The social worker was very overworked and not very helpful. Rarely followed up.

I was in this facility for 3 weeks and the staff would let kids fight they let me starve myself and this place just made my mental health get worse

CalBerkeleyAlumni

Whether in groups or individual therapy pay close attention to the quality of the staff. Most seemed inexperienced, dare I say immature. Their behavior was almost child like, and I felt that instead of trained therapists I dealt with unprepared students, who needed to complete their education and required supervision. Mental health problems require well-trained professionals not puerile therapists. Monitor them carefully and if unsatisfactory leave.

I would give zero stars if it was an option. I voluntarily checked myself in in June 2017 and stayed in patient for one week. Upon my discharge I told the person at the front desk that I had all of my belongings except for a brown leather bag and an antique necklace, that meant a lot to me, but instead of giving me my bag with my necklace in it I was rushed to sign my signature on the papers. I was told by Bradley, a social worker, that they look for my necklace and contact me when they have it. One week later I was told that they found the bag and necklace but because I was in an IOP program I couldn’t leave or take a day off to go get it back so my parents drove over an hour and a half back to Philadelphia only to be told upon arrival that there was no necklace or bag. I was in contact with Bradley on and off for a few months until communication completely stopped. I accepted that I probably wasn’t going to ever get my bag or necklace back, and it honestly still hurts to this very day because of how much that necklace meant to me. I don’t think any healthcare facility, regardless if it’s for physical or psychiatric health, should rush a patient to be discharged just to have an available room for the next patient, and I don’t think I was treated like a person during my discharge process. I want to give a shout out to Donna, Mallory, and Sam because they were supportive of me during my whole entire stay.

I’m 13, so i was in the adolescent unit, 5 south i think? I was in the mental hospital around may 24th-may 27th i think? Anyways, i was there for trying to attempt and my experience there was okay. I had to sleep on the floor because my room was under maintenance because there were bugs getting through a crack in the shower. The girls and staff there made fun of an autistic girl who had to wear a diaper, they would belittle her and the staff wouldn’t do anything about it. I was playing in this girls hair and another girl pulled her hair while i was doing it , because they were arguing? And the girl whose hair i was doing got in trouble. Now onto the release thing, The day i was getting released, they had lost my belongings, my retainers, my pants, my shoes. They said they would ship it to me if they found it which they probably never did. They also said if they couldn’t find it they would reimburse me for it. before this, i had never been in a mental hospital before so this definitely was an experience..Also the nurse there said my grandma cussed her out but that wasn’t the case and why would you badmouth my grandma infront of me and make her look bad? The staff also said “if yall not gon rumble then shut up” i feel like they were egging it on.
