About Birmingham Recovery Center

This program is for those who want to participate in medically supervised detox programming. Clients are overseen by supervised medical staff who begin the treatment with an assessment. After clients are stabilized, they follow a step-down treatment plan.

This is a highly structured outpatient program. Clients meet during the day to engage in individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and psycho-educational classes.

A step down from partial hospitalization, the PHP involves treatment three days per week for several hours at a time. Individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy are offered. Clients may continue to engage in psychoeducational classes.

This program offers individual therapy and group therapy at regular intervals. The key focus is on maintaining recovery and refraining from using substances.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Birmingham Recovery Center works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients in early recovery and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients in IOP attend outpatient therapy sessions for a minimum of nine hours per week but clients may receive as many as 20 hours of IOP treatment weekly. Sessions generally occur in 3-5 hour blocks, in which time clients engage in some combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), psychotherapy, recovery skills training, or complementary care.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides comprehensive treatment to those who do not require 24/7 monitoring and offers a higher level of care than outpatient programs. Often referred to as "day treatment" patients typically attend sessions a minimum of 20 hours weekly, allowing clients to return home each day. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and can provide daily therapeutic sessions and services such as relapse prevention and medication management.

Medically assisted detox is often the first step of addiction treatment. At the medical detox level of care, you are weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol under the care of licensed medical professionals who constantly monitor your health and treat any potential withdrawal symptoms, sometimes with the aid of medication (like Suboxone or Vivitrol).

Treatments

Alcoholism, also called alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined as an impaired ability to stop or control drinking alcohol despite negative consequences. Whether the condition is mild, moderate, or severe, effective treatment is available through alcohol rehab in Alabama. Evidence-based therapies, mutual-support groups, and medications have all proven effective treatments alcohol addiction.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

You can find comprehensive substance abuse treatment in Alabama. Typically, drug and alcohol rehabs provide a full continuum of care including medically assisted detox, inpatient, outpatient, dual-diagnosis, and partial hospitalization. With a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation, addiction experts provide individualized treatment plans to cater to your individual needs. These programs address substance use disorders using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), counseling, and recovery support groups.

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.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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

Group therapy provides men and women in Alabama a supportive environment where they can share experiences, build connections, and receive encouragement from their peers who are facing similar challenges with drug addiction and co occurring mental health conditions.

Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction involves one on one sessions with a therapist to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction. Your therapist may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or Motivational Interviewing to help you develop coping strategies and work towards long term sobriety.

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Alabama is to lessen the symptoms of certain mental health conditions, including substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. It is known as one of the most effective means of treatment for these conditions.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy designed to treat individuals who are experiencing intense emotions. It is often used in Alabama for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, and other mental health conditions.

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.

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.

I want to start off by saying, I have NEVER left a bad review in my entire life. Like most people i consider myself to be pretty reasonable, and if i run into an employee having a bad day or have a negative experience somewhere i shake my head and understand sometimes people have bad days or that situations can’t always be perfect and move on. SO if your looking at reviews i would encourage you to give my opinion a second thought. I am a non functioning alcoholic! Not your buddy that drinks every weekend or calls and cry’s on the phone while drinking. I’m talking about an actual medical diagnosis of Alcoholism. Those who actually suffer from being an alcoholic know that it’s more than an opinion. Alcoholism is a DISEASE! It’s not something you can control, It’s a disease and needs actual medical intervention, treatment, and rehabilitation to have a chance at recovering from; and rehab medical teams are aware of this. I reached out to this clinic and explained that i have been to full inpatient rehab before and am struggling with drinking again. My life has not completely spun out of control yet, as im fighting to not drink, but as most people who struggle with drinking know that pure willpower can only take you so far and eventually you’ll end up nonfunctional again. As i moved through the admission process all was fine until we reached part of the intake questionnaire that asks about any past or ongoing legal issues. I explained to the interviewer that i was uncomfortable and did not want to disclose my legal history as i did not feel comfortable due to past experiences being treated differently and unfairly as everyone else at my past inpatient rehab and in my day to day life. I was then told that if i did not disclose this information that i would not be allowed entry into the treatment program. This is absurd and i would argue completely discriminatory. Keep in mind Alcoholism is a Disease! If you show up to the hospital with your head busted open or have cancer and need treatment, they would never deny you care and treatment due to not disclosing your criminal history and most likely would never even ask. Why is alcoholism treated any differently?! I think this speaks volumes about staff, leadership, and the entire organization at Birmingham Recovery Center. An organization who claims to care and want to help people who are fighting addiction, has someone practically show up at their door and then denys them treatment. Let’s imagine i were to be in full blown active addiction and operated a vehicle and got in a wreck and it tragically ended the life of another individual. I would be prosecuted to the fullest extent and nobody would show a lick of compassion. Everyone would state that i could have sought out treatment. but nevertheless i did and was denied. I wonder how many people have died or ended up in prison that if they would’ve taken the step to reach out for treatment things could’ve been different. Please take this into consideration if you are looking into this organization for treatment. Providing aid to everyone who comes for help with addiction is not their priority or i would have been offered services. Hopefully i can find some sort of treatment for my disease before i experience an early death or worse.
