About Community Service Board of Middle Georgia

The Community Service Board of Middle Georgia has an outpatient clinic in Eastman, Georgia that offers services to the local community. The center specializes in adult mental health including substance abuse. They also help with intellectual and developmental disabilities and they have services for children, youth and young adults. If you’re considering this center, it’s worth noting that it has mostly positive reviews with many individuals reporting that it has contributed greatly to their recovery.

Worthwhile Support Services in Middle Georgia

Recovering from drug and alcohol addiction among your peers can be an incredible motivator to stay on the straight and narrow path. At the Community Mental Health Center at Eastman, you can attend the RiseUp peer support group.

This group supports individuals and families in recovery. You’ll have access to a safe and supportive peer environment where you’ll be heard and understood.

Group Recovery with Counseling

For most people, counseling is an integral part of drug or substance abuse addiction recovery. Once you enroll in the outpatient program at this center, you can expect to participate in group sessions that help you identify challenges to your recovery.

Your assigned therapist will also help you develop coping skills and reach positive solutions. If group counseling is not of interest, you could also explore individual counseling, which offers many of the same benefits in a one on one setting.

You may also want to consider the Step One Recovery Center, a group program that offers counseling five days a week.

Individualized Substance Abuse Night Groups

Not every individual has time to attend counseling during the day. If you have other commitments, you can enroll in one of the night groups offered by this center. The night group is a three hour session tailored to your needs.

You’ll learn how to maintain your sobriety by participating in leisure and social skill building activities and psychoeducational activities focusing on addiction prevention, recovery and the consequences of substance abuse. Many have found these to be highly beneficial to their commitment to sobriety.

Absolutely horrible place they do not care about the people they see shouldn't be open. This place should be shut down for endangerment. Taking medicine from people who have been on it for 30+ years what has to be wrong in your brain to do that to people. Everyone who works there is absolutely sick and mental.

This place is absolutely terrible taking medicine from people and making them suffer from not having it. Would never go there if my life depended on it they don t care about mental health. My grandmother has been taken off her anxiety medication and she can barely keep food down and is constantly throwing up. If these people truly cared about the well being of others they wouldn t do this to people. Absolutely sickening to think about.

Accepted Insurance

Community Service Board of Middle Georgia works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, 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.

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.

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.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

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.

Programs

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

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.
