My friend went in for alcohol detox. They turned him down because they said he hadn't been drinking long enough. He told them he had been drinking for 3 weeks and then someone came back and said that the doctor said he hadn't been drinking long enough to be admitted. Woah! Drinking bottle after bottle for 3 weeks isn't enough? These people really suck.

A few things about Covington Behavioral Health! I was a recent patient here a few days ago. This was my second time around. They ended up putting me in Unit B, which was absolutely awful. The technicians were yelling at patients, ripping off the magnetic bathroom doors, and were extremely emotionless. I ended up having a panic attack, and told one of the charge nurses, she then told me I had to wait 30 mins till medicine time at 8pm. I ended up sitting there shaking and crying the entire time! Not even one of those people comforted me or asked me if I was okay. It felt more like a chore for them than their job. I ended up calling my mother who complained and I asked to be moved to Unit A (Calm Unit). I have nothing but amazing reviews for Unit A. The nurses are amazing. The techs are amazing. Doctors are amazing. The patients are even better over there because it is a place for people with certain problems who want a more quiet space and can heal peacefully! The only BAD thing about this place is the food. Some of it is okay, but they should really have healthier options for people who are healing. Portion sizes should be bigger too, because some of us are taking medicines that make us hungrier or even getting our appetites back! Consider it. Thank you to everyone who helped me here. I can not appreciate everyone enough.

Accepted Insurance

Covington Behavioral Health Hospital 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

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.

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.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab gives clients a chance to focus on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment away from outside distractions, stressors, and addiction triggers. Clients reside at the treatment facility and engage in intensive psychotherapy, which may include individual, group, and family counseling.

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.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Clients enrolled in rehab aftercare programs have completed high-level treatment and are typically in the maintenance phase of their recovery, receiving customized services designed to support their sustained sobriety. Case managers and care teams typically begin to plan for the client's rehab aftercare services early in the treatment process to ensure the client's fluid reentry into their home, workplace, and community. These programs evolve as clients' needs change, and frequently include peer coaching, relapse prevention, and career counseling.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

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. Covington Behavioral Healthcare Hospital is not an addiction center, however, they offer an inpatient detox unit to help the individuals to get rid of the substances in their bodies. They are able to detox from alcohol, benzos and certain opioid-based medications in a safe environment.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from mental health also suffer from alcohol and substance abuse issues including addiction to opiates, benzos among others. They understand that some of the individuals they treat may be also struggling with substance abuse issues, this condition is called dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Covington Hospital is not an addiction treatment, however, they offer detoxification services for those in need, in order to help them with the transition into their psychiatric inpatient program.

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 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.
military-program thumbnail image

Military Program

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).

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.

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.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Accused my friend of lying about his situation, food sucks and was in small portions, a doctor named Tommy never followed up with a bunch of us (I asked for him twice, once to his face, and he never came back), nurses and the people sitting with us constantly forgot and didn't do what the patients needed, including giving my friend a pillow, and me and someone else a hygiene bag, for our entire stay. One sitter seemed to escalate situations with one high-energy patient. Never had one on one therapy, and the group therapies did nothing, were just clichés, never focusing on actual problems. They had 3 groups in the morning before 12 PM - the first one was by our sitters, and they all rushed through them bc they didnt want them to be long. Helpful 👎. Other 2 were 1 hour long each and didnt actually teach us coping skills or address our feelings. They were just like "things are going to be okay :) pray :) color :) do a word search :)" like nothing dude. Doctors were useless to us too. People needed them, and the nurses would just be like "they'll call you" and we would have to wait even longer. It's just boredom and patients get angry about it. You're either scared bc of the fights, or bored. The nurses also accused me of not smoking on no basis. Just get an actual therapist and psychiatrist and keep your person safe at home. At least then they'd get help.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. From intake they immediately begin depriving people that need help and treating them more like prisoners. I would never recommend this place. Your best bet is to probably find a psychiatrist and do intensive therapy outside of this place.

This place SUCKS. My mother was held for a week and they refused to call me and ignored any proof I've shown them of her truly being unwell. Now she's posting threats and concerning tales all over social media. They did not tell me one thing, and did not return my calls. Everyone can tell my mother is a danger to herself and others, and they brushed off our concerns.

Why would you tell two parents their child would be released on Thursday or discharged It's a voluntary hold only supposed to be 72 hours he was there since Saturday. But why would you tell them that and then when she calls today to see if she can pick him up... There is no order for discharge today. My best friend is crying and misses her child. Shame on you people. So I know a little bit about law and civil rights because I work part-time on occasion for a lawyer and I'm going to go ahead and quote where your violating civil rights number one communication steadily has not gone to the parents for a voluntary hold... But most of all under Louisiana Senate article act 235 ....1433. E. Under the provisions of this Article no minor shall be placed in protective custody for a period in excess of seventy-two hours. Any minor placed in protective custody under the provisions of this Article shall be considered as an inmate for maintenance purposes only. It's been well over 72 hours and I will be reporting you to the Louisiana bored that handles these things. Today. So if he's Been converted to emergency or involuntary hold. Why have both of his parents not been notified by court of law under act 235. Louisiana state legislator. I went ahead and attached only some of the rights that you violated with this 15-year-old little boy and his parents the legal guardian to this so maybe other parents will be warned and never work with you guys. I'm actually from St Tammany they aren't and I'm ashamed of my parish right now.

I brought my stepson there for detox. Of course he was high why else would he need detox. They made us go to a hospital and get medically cleared before they would admit him … they claimed they were afraid of him Over Dosing . He was talking and walking how the heck is he going to overdose???? Unbelievable

I got out this hospital about a week ago but I would rate this hospital a 4 because the staff was really nice. They did stuff with us. And the social workers would give us little advice on how to do better at coping with things and how to take care of it. Oh and it was clean. Now the only time the staff would sound rude is when the other people wouldn't corporate with them or not listen. But otherwise they were not a bad hospital. I'm so glad they weren't abusive like the one I was at when I was 9.

Response from the owner
Thanks for being willing to share your thoughts with us! We work hard to ensure that we remain a valued source of premier service and support.

My wife was sent here has been there the past 3 days no one has called us she spoke with me one day and sounded like they were just loading her with pills where she could barely speak. Now when I addressed this concern i keep getting told my wife doesn’t want to speak with anyone . She is on a pec hold and no one will contact us regarding what is going on . How can someone that is being heavily drugged sign an information release form . This place is definitely about to get a lawsuit.
