I will never return to Centerstone, I rather try to recover by myself before going back there. A complete waste of money and most important time, I haven't improved even a little bit and that made me lose hope, now I need to keep looking for a place which actually helps me.
About Centerstone
Centerstone offers mental health and addiction recovery services in six states. They serve children and families, adults, veterans and active duty members. They run an outpatient clinic in Columbia, Tennessee. It is located in a large commercial facility with multiple businesses and services. It’s easy to access by car via TN-50. This clinic offers children and family services, counseling, addiction recovery, psychiatric care and crisis services.
Outpatient Drug Rehab in Columbia
Centerstone understands that addiction treatment isn’t not one size fits all. I like that they work with their patients to understand their unique situation in order to create a treatment plan that fits their needs. At their Columbia clinic, treatment may include substance use counseling, connecting with peer support specialists and working with a case manager to get wraparound services.
They also run an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to give clients a more structured recovery treatment. Their IOP includes 10-15 hours of treatment a week.
I like that Centerstone runs a range of support groups where you can meet and talk to other folks who are on a recovery journey. You’ll build your support network, discuss shared challenges and learn how to prevent relapse and improve coping skills. They also offer AA and NA support groups.
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Tennessee Residents
MAT combines medication and behavioral health services to treat drug or alcohol addiction. It is commonly used for patients with opioid use disorders. If you need a more intensive level of treatment, other Centerstone locations offer inpatient detox and residential treatment.
Latest Reviews
Centerstone as a whole is a joke. It's just another government scam to waste your time and money. I have been through Centerstone since the 90s and like all the other doctors, they don't want to fix you, they want you to have to come back. That's how they get paid. Med providers push new meds and no matter how many times you tell them what works, they won't prescribe it to ya. They have actually lied a few different times saying "Centerstone doesn't prescribe that" but i have family that goes here and gets the same meds. Therapist just talk to you like a friend, no direction, no help thoughts, just "I've been there". Now Centerstone gets a new building to make them seem more professional. This place is a joke. Put these clowns out of business! It's funny that yall push the ones with nothing to lose..

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I could never recommend this place for 2 reasons.1. I began coming to Centerstone to be treated for severe social anxiety. I told my doctor multiple times I cannot take any medication that is sedating for the fact I have a 7 year old and at the time a 4 month old. We tried a few things that didn t work and then she put me on a new one. She assured me it might make me drowsy but nothing crazy. I asked if I should start with a half dose just to be safe, she turned that down and said to take the full dose. I took the medication at 5pm on a Friday and by 5:45pm I was completely out. Thankfully my husband was home and was able to care for the kids. Unfortunately he had to work Saturday and figured I would be fine. He fed our baby before he left for work. At 11 am I was woken up by our 7 year old thinking I was dead because the baby was screaming and I wouldn t move. That was almost 18 hours I was completely out! It took me 3 days to fully recover from this medication when she told me I would just be drowsy.Reason 2. Like I said I was being treated for severe social anxiety social anxiety. In order for them to treat me they said I had to do therapy. I had to reschedule a therapy appointment because the few days prior I was having extreme panic attacks and I didn t think it was a good decision to go. They then proceeded to cancel my next med appointment and sent me a letter stating I had to complete 2 hour peer classes for them to be able to continue to treatment. I was there to be treated not punished for my mental health.

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
Outpatient 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.
Inpatient Inpatient rehabs are designed principally for clients who require intensive supervision and support, including clients who have just completed detox, clients in early recovery, and clients at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment helps clients stabilize following detox and prepares them to step-down into outpatient and/or community-based care. Clients reside at the facility for the duration of their program and engage in extensive addiction counseling and education. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies.
Treatments
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
