About Community Behavioral Health – Martin Luther King Boulevard

Community Behavioral Health – Martin Luther King Boulevard is a dual diagnosis addiction treatment center in Hamilton, Ohio. This clinic acts as both a broad mental health treatment facility and a rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Their services include outpatient detox, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient treatment, relapse prevention, medication assisted treatment (MAT) as well as aftercare. They accept most private insurances, Medicaid, and medicare payments, along with TRICARE and out of pocket payments. They are accredited by The Joint Commission.

Detox and Dual Diagnosis Options

Their detox program lasts about a week, serving as the beginning of a treatment path. From there, patients are assessed by case managers and assigned to a program. Patients with less severe addiction are put into general outpatient treatment with therapy and dual diagnosis options, while more severe cases may need intensive outpatient care which is a more regimented, targeted form of outpatient treatment. The patients with the highest needs are placed in partial hospitalization/day treatment. They are given hours of medical, psychiatric and therapeutic care every day.

Court Mandated Treatment

Uniquely, this center offers Day Reporting programs, which are part of rehabilitating clients involved in legal proceedings, facing jail time or on probation. Patients can enter standard outpatient treatment, but they also have access to educational courses on topics like substance abuse, anger management and positive life skills. If a patient is in court mandated treatment at this center, they will have three sessions a week that will slowly decrease until their treatment plan is finished.

SAFE Program for Families

Additionally, this center has a number of resources and plans to educate and help people indirectly affected by mental health and substance abuse. In the Substance Abuse Family Education (SAFE) program, they offer family support groups where those impacted by substance abuse can share their stories and struggles with peers. They can also learn various coping skills and make connections to harbor strength.

No reminders sent for appointments. They don't call and follow up. I honestly feel gross even going in there. Nothing about it makes me feel calm or at peaceful. I'll find another place to go. Screw that atmosphere

I used services here to get through a rough couple years, counseling and medical. Their doctor has a good grasp on new techniques with old knowledge. He was the first mental health professional to get me to take a DNA test to start trying medication rather than throwing a dart at a board. My counselor was incredible, she gave me such perspective and validation to really take doable steps until I could deep dive to find more permanent habits.Yes they have a very busy overworked front office staff, some days are more obvious than others. When you realize these professionals are there helping a ton of people that don't always want the help, you see the dedication. Give the staff a break and maybe a thank you to help them find some strength that day too.

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.

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.

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 iconOutpatient
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 iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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).

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 Ohio provides comprehensive treatment to address the physical and psychological needs of those struggling with substance use disorders. This may involve inpatient and/or outpatient care.

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-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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.

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.

I would give one star, but I like Dr. Ackerman. I agree with another poster regarding the programming on the television. The last time I went, it was on some CSI show which is very triggering and gave me anxiety. They should have something less traumatic on the television like some nature videos with relaxing music or don’t turn it on. The Waiting room and hallways are very sterile and uncomfortable, not very inviting at all. It is very difficult to get someone on the telephone. I was told if I had a referral for my son that we could get a direct appointment with the doctor. When I called to make the appointment though, I was told that I just had to bring him in during the morning, which was what I was trying to avoid because he is in school at that time. So that wasted a lot of our time. One time I called to talk to my doctor about a prescription refill and felt like I was being accused of misusing my medication, even after I told the person on the phone that we were still adjusting my dosage because I’m new to this type of medication. Pretty sad when the people that are supposed to be helping you are the ones stigmatizing you, but it’s not the first time I’ve encountered this at a mental health facility. If I didn’t like Dr. Ackerman so much, I would not be going back to this place ever again. There was someone else I talked to the first time I went, maybe Dr. Ackerman‘s nurse assistant but I’m not sure, she was great also.

This agency is irresponsible. First they play the tv show the View in the waiting room. This is supposed to be a place of healing. It’s irresponsible to let such a hateful tv show play in a mental health facility. Also, someone I know went here for suicidal thoughts. When asked what’s keeping this person from suicide, it was the person’s belief of going to hell keeping them from taking their life. The intake coordinator said, “it’s a shame people believe people are going to hell for suicide” it was not the right time to discuss the coordinator’s beliefs. Grateful this client didn’t commit suicide. I would never send anyone here for mental health concerns. The staff is negligent.

I won't use their services ever again. If you schedule an appointment it's likely to get cancelled last minute and TJ is an extremely unprofessional individual that will ghost you at the drop of hat. Edit: the response given about being contacted was a falsehood. No one has ever reached out.

I have been going here for a few months now for therapy and new perspectives and it has changed my life dramatically! My therapist (both of them) have changed my life for the better in the best ways possible. I feel like I will always have people in my corner now who can help me without judgement. This place has shown me they care and are passionate about what they do. Of course there are always a few bad apples wherever you go but this place does have employees who genuinely care about their clients. So I would recommend this place highly!!!

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you, Bryanna for the 5-stars and your detailed review. We are happy to hear that you have had a positive experience with the team at Community Behavioral Health.

Was going here for counseling for years regarding trauma from an abuser.... and they HIRED my abuser!!!! I filed for a CPO, he and applied here AND was hired in the middle of it. The abuser then somehow obtained info ONLY this office knew. The only thing they did is try to say they use a black box system to protect records. Well he has the Info only they had period. Don't trust this place! I also agree with the overturn rate here.

The community behavioral health program has changed in many different ways in the past couple of years. There is a more professional, compassionate atmosphere than in the past. I now feel more comfortable with the staff and the services they provide and no longer fear being mistreated as I’ve experienced in the past. I’m now very fortunate to have Carmen Davis and Erin Ackerman as my psychiatric support. They are genuinely concerned with my well being! They are current in their understanding of new, more effective psychotropic medications. Thank you both for being there for me! Living with a mental illness is like a daily trip to Disneyland where the only ride is a roller coaster. The ride is rarely fun and many of us “sign out” before the ride is over.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for your thoughtful review William. Our CBH Team has been working very hard the past few years to provide a better overall experience. We are happy to be able to support you on your personal wellness journey.
