About Community Health Network – Community Howard Regional Health
Psychiatric inpatient treatment is for people who are having trouble with their daily functioning due to their mental health problems. It’s also for people who need a safe environment to keep them from harming themselves or other people. It’s very common to have substance use issues on top of mental health problems. For that reason, the inpatient unit at Howard Regional Health can also help you detox in an environment that supports your recovery.
The length of stay you can expect will depend on your needs. If you need to detox, that usually takes at least three days in most settings and could take the better part of a week.
Psychiatric inpatient units are similar to rehab in many ways, but they differ in some important aspects. The length of stay is usually much shorter than what it would be in rehab. There are also usually more rules and restrictions. Psychiatric unit staff closely monitor items that are brought into the unit to ensure everyone’s safety. As a result, you may find that you can’t keep things like shoelaces, wires, drawstrings or belts.
A great feature of their inpatient psychiatric unit is its size. Twelve beds is large enough that they can hold meaningful groups but small enough that there aren’t an overwhelming number of people.
The health system that their unit belongs to has many other behavioral health services in other locations. That’s an important feature if you’re coming in without a therapist or a prescriber because they can connect you to outpatient services within their system. Having access to aftercare will support you in your recovery.
They take many types of insurance, and they can help you enroll if you don’t have insurance. They also have an active financial assistance program with staff who will walk you through the process of obtaining financial aid.

Thank you for your glowing review and kind words about Community Howard Regional Health! We're truly grateful for your trust through the years.
This Hospitals' ER has consistently, over the course of years, has failed to live up to the standard of care expected from medical professionals who entire job it is to provide care for those in crisis. They do not behave in a way that is either trauma-informed nor professional. An ER Department exists solely because people have accidents emergencies and other consequences that might or might not be the result of their own actions that doesn't make it less of an emergency nor does it mean that people should not be treated with dignity and care which is the standard the community has consistently fallen short on. Zero out of 10 would NOT recommend going to this ER or Hospital for any reason unless that reason is you literally had an accident in their building and even then I'd go elsewhere

Wow. I already commented and it was deleted in less than 24 hours. Don't delete it again because I will just come back. I went in 4 weeks ago and was told "nothing was wrong" not even a week later I came back in acidotic. You don't get acidotic for no reason. Yet as always the fact I was already there with the same symptoms the week prior they were just worse the second time was ignored. I was admitted for 3 days to yet again basically be told nothing was wrong except I was acidotic and was even told it was my fault because due to how bad the pain and nausea got by the time I came back I had not had food in 3 days. That being said the second night my pain meds were with held by a nurse merely because she was to lazy to message the doctor on call. She told me I wouldn't get pain meds unless I took mirilax which im severally allergic to and has caused me to become septic in the past. I made her aware of this and that I hadn't had a bowel movement because I still had not eaten so I had nothing to come out. I know from experience there are so many other medications I could have taken in place of the mirilax had she just taken the time to message the doctor. So I pretended I was gonna take it for pain meds and I took a few small sips with my medication in front of her and the moment she left I dumped it out. Guess what next day when I came home after eating I had a bowel movement because suprise I was right its my body I know whats going on. I had a cath while there and when it came time to remove it I was appalled by the nurses behavior who had earlier been nice. She was the only one who was up until that point. I have a condition so my body is built is different and I had some one there to stay with and help me adjust when needed however she had stepped down stairs for a moment and the nurse came in with the tech ready to remove the cath. I was nice and explained I need to call the person back up who helps me so I could re adjust after taking the cath out and asked them to wait a moment for her. Both the nurse and tech told me "your being dramatic we won't have to re adjust you" when mind you I have done this alot longer then them its my body I know what im doing. Anyways they didn't wanna listen and tried removing my blankets so I raised my voice and said you are not touching me yet. The nurse then got rude and says "whatever I don't have time for this you need to hurry up and call her" then looks to the tech and says "let me know when shes here I guess" sighs walks out and slams my door. The tech then leaves and within not even 2 minutes the person who I needed was back up so I pushed my call light. The tech comes in and asks what rudly so I responded you wanted her so bad here she is and the tech goes k. Only to go sit at the desk outside my room for 20 minutes on her phone before finally coming in and removing the cath another suprise I had to be re adjusted as I said I would which the tech witnessed yet upon my discharge I was mad fun of by my nurse and told " I know you have your wills and ways on things that most people wouldn't" im not sorry I set clear boundaries and know my body

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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient care provides a safe hospital setting for assessing and stabilizing patients experiencing acute psychiatric difficulties and substance abuse problems. Services include treatment programs designed for adults. The clinical team of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and occupational therapists assists patients onto the path of recovery with effective discharge planning. They determine the appropriate aftercare programs and ensure continuity of treatment for patients.
If you need some flexibility and choice when it comes to your recovery, outpatient rehab programs are a great option because they do not require intensive inpatient treatment. Clients remain in their own homes and may continue to work or attend school while in active treatment. Outpatient treatment typically includes addiction counseling and continuing recovery education, including courses in self-care and relapse prevention. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available in many treatment centers for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.
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.
For long-term recovery from drug addiction, drug rehab in Indiana is often key. This treatment gives individuals who are struggling with a substance use disorder the tools to manage their disorder and achieve long-term sobriety.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
