Every bad review posted speaks truth! Read them! I was discharged unfairly and without any due diligence done on staffs part. The first week I was there I was verbally attacked and assaulted by another patient. Even though I did nothing wrong that was a strike one for me. The second week I was there *going Into my third week) my roommate who has mental issues went into the hallway and said my name loudly. After all I had done had asked her what was going on as she had told my other roommate I told her to shut up when she was crying. Not true! Let me let you understand that the few days prior she had disclosed to both me and my other roommate that she lied when she showed up to detox, pouring alcohol on her to smell like it saying she drank a galloon a day and making herself drink just enough to appear drunk so they would take her in and not sleep on the streets because she was homeless. I can only assume that she had an omg moment what did I do!? By sharing that with me and Knowing that if my name was brought to spotlight id be asked to leave. The people that work there and make a life altering decision for people don't work there on the weekend and don't do any type of due diligence. They read a note from a tech who worked a 10 to 12 or 14 hour shift and possibly mistyped information because Emily could barley read through the techs notes.. I specifically asked Malik the tech if this was going g to cause me problems and he said no because it wasn't an alter altercation and we didn't need to be separated No discussion with the tech no discussion with me or even the other party the morning that I was discharged just simply telling me I was being discharged This is all a funding based money making business. I noticed while there that if you don't come through the detox program you don't make it past two weeks. Coincidence?I was so stressed out about the first strike I had I hadn't been able to go to the bathroom for 2 weeks until they finally took me to the hospital as I knew I had a diverticulitis flare up. How does one focus on recovery and sobriety when they're constantly stressed out about looking the wrong way or some girl who just wants the other girl gone. I wanted to be in the program I actively participated I attended all groups with the exception of the one we had on Saturday following my er visit *which i was told not to worry* I wasn't homeless I didnt need help with an id or help with a job like most. I watched 6 patients be wrongfully discharged from centerstone. My other roommate not the one who lied herself into the program but the other one coincidentally was also discharged the same day becausefilling up her water bottle during a class and missing one class. Yet the other roommate who laid in bed the same weekend and did not attend the NA class on Saturday remained in the program. there are numerous people that missed numerous classes but came through detox which means they were worth more funding. There are no random drug screens here unless you leave to go to er or an offsite na or aa class or doctors appt because if there were they would have known someone snuck methadone into the unit and was receiving a completion certificate the first night I was there. Tell me how this happens. They have no clue what goes on here and before altering someone's life and in this case my freedom due diligence should be done. I never even received a patient handbook until I was about to enter the 3rd week of treatment which BTW is a repeat of the prior week classes. Nothing changes. At the end of the day I realized it isn't going to take 26k for me to get sober its going to me and me alone and if you were to pull the recovery rate versus the relapse rate that centerstone has with this program most people of not half had been through it before. I learned some things about my self received a few good sheet handouts but learned if I want to be sober its all on me and shame shame on those ladies who don't know whats really going on. God knows. Alan, Aiden and Diane were nice.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Centerstone Hospital works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient programs 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. Centerstone offers the largest psychiatric specialist medical group in the region. The facility also provides individual and group counseling services for children,adults and seniors as well as family therapy to address individual emotional and behavioral problems. Counselors help with difficulties in many areas including mood management, anxiety, depression, family relationship issues, parenting, anger and co-occurring and additions. Psychologists offer testing to assist in care.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Instensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Centerstone Intensive Outpatient Team provides community based services at an intensity and frequency required to prevent individuals from experiencing multiple crisis center/hospital admissions. The facility also assists family members in providing a support plan for their loves ones through personal concierge services.

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.

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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).

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

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.

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).

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Every bad review posted speaks truth! Read them! I was discharged unfairly and without any due diligence done on staffs part. The first week I was there I was verbally attacked and assaulted by another patient. Even though I did nothing wrong that was a strike one for me. The second week I was there *going Into my third week) my roommate who has mental issues went into the hallway and said my name loudly. After all I had done had asked her what was going on as she had told my other roommate I told her to shut up when she was crying. Not true! Let me let you understand that the few days prior she had disclosed to both me and my other roommate that she lied when she showed up to detox, pouring alcohol on her to smell like it saying she drank a galloon a day and making herself drink just enough to appear drunk so they would take her in and not sleep on the streets because she was homeless. I can only assume that she had an omg moment what did I do!? By sharing that with me and Knowing that if my name was brought to spotlight id be asked to leave. The people that work there and make a life altering decision for people don't work there on the weekend and don't do any type of due diligence. They read a note from a tech who worked a 10 to 12 or 14 hour shift and possibly mistyped information because Emily could barley read through the techs notes.. I specifically asked Malik the tech if this was going g to cause me problems and he said no because it wasn't an alter altercation and we didn't need to be separated No discussion with the tech no discussion with me or even the other party the morning that I was discharged just simply telling me I was being discharged This is all a funding based money making business. I noticed while there that if you don't come through the detox program you don't make it past two weeks. Coincidence?I was so stressed out about the first strike I had I hadn't been able to go to the bathroom for 2 weeks until they finally took me to the hospital as I knew I had a diverticulitis flare up. How does one focus on recovery and sobriety when they're constantly stressed out about looking the wrong way or some girl who just wants the other girl gone. I wanted to be in the program I actively participated I attended all groups with the exception of the one we had on Saturday following my er visit *which i was told not to worry* I wasn't homeless I didnt need help with an id or help with a job like most. I watched 6 patients be wrongfully discharged from centerstone. My other roommate not the one who lied herself into the program but the other one coincidentally was also discharged the same day becausefilling up her water bottle during a class and missing one class. Yet the other roommate who laid in bed the same weekend and did not attend the NA class on Saturday remained in the program. there are numerous people that missed numerous classes but came through detox which means they were worth more funding. There are no random drug screens here unless you leave to go to er or an offsite na or aa class or doctors appt because if there were they would have known someone snuck methadone into the unit and was receiving a completion certificate the first night I was there.
