Community Behavioral Health Hospital

About Community Behavioral Health Hospital

Community Behavioral Health Hospital (CBHH) is an addiction and mental health center in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. It’s part of a network of behavioral health hospitals overseen by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). They provide inpatient substance abuse treatment services to adult men and women through the Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise (C.A.R.E.) program.

Many clients here face what is called a dual diagnosis. This means they are experiencing both a mental health condition like anxiety or depression and a substance use disorder. The two challenges are often connected so the care team treats both together to support the whole person.

The C.A.R.E program stays true to its name by focusing on care and support. It’s designed to help adults work through some of the biggest challenges in their lives. Whether someone is dealing with substance use, mental health struggles or both then they’ll have a safe place to begin recovery. To start treatment, clients need a referral from either a court, a social services agency or one of Minnesota’s community hospitals.

Clients can stay for up to 90 days depending on their progress. Most clients stay for about 48 days. Each day in treatment has a routine that helps bring some order to things. You’ll also have time for individual and group therapy sessions. Some people worry about therapy especially the idea of talking about tough things in front of others but therapy is a safe space. Group sessions offer a judgment free place to connect with others experiencing similar challenges.

They help with things like planning for life after treatment and finding ways to prevent relapse. This includes connecting clients to community resources like support groups and 12-step programs. They also work on strategies for managing stress, avoiding triggers and building a solid support system.

Most people worry about paying for treatment. Getting help is the most important thing and the cost doesn’t have to be a barrier. There are several options for paying for treatment. Some clients have insurance that covers a lot of the expenses. Many clients get help through Minnesota’s Behavioral Health Fund (BHF) if they enroll in Medical Assistance (MA) or meet the income guidelines.

This place is literally trash and quite obviously the reviews giving it 5 out of 5 stars are fake, because everyone else there had the same opinion, it's trash. They literally serve pig slop for food, like actually something a dog would not eat, and their explanation for that? "We are extremely underfunded." Meanwhile the person saying it's underfunded and that's why they serve pig slop is wearing designer brand clothing. Also, the staff was downright abusive, teasing people that were mentally ill or making fun of them together, or they would make something up in the charting that never actually happened. For example I had a staff claim in charting that I "exposed myself" until me and other people confronted them about it, because I had witnesses to say that was a boldfaced lie.Food a dog wouldn't eat, abusive staff, and fake 5 star reviews.

Community Behavioral Health Hospital has a very professional and respectful staff. The doctor is excellent and treats you with comprehension and doesn't judge you, which for me is one of the best types of doctors.

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.

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.

LGBTQ Program

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.

Military Program

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

Therapists often use cognitive behavioral therapy in Minnesota to treat substance use disorders because it can help clients quickly identify challenges and ways to cope with them. Its structured, specific methods require fewer sessions than other types of therapy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
