These people should be ashamed of themselves. My wife and myself pleaded for her release and she was held on lies simply because she didn't like them. There should be only disgust expressed for those who hold others hostage simply for not liking them. You held my wife hostage against both our wills and lied to us both. You will see me in court instead of this money you suggest I owe you. How corrupt and disgraceful and a violation of do no harm. Inside it is violence and poor choices in food. You dare to suggest that was for her benefit. Liars. This is in your best interest only.

I called these people for a discharge of my child since Thursday. I’m about to call the police at this point. I called there around 10 am today 3/29 and asked them was my child’s visitation today. The nurse said “yes be here at 230.” get here and they say adolescents visitation only on Sunday and Wednesday. I have never been so stressed, tired, and angry in my life. Now I’ve wasted gas and time coming from New Orleans to here because people can’t get their information right and because the psychiatrist nor social worker returned voicemails. I’ll be here with the police if someone doesn’t let me know what is happening with my minor child.

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.

Oh my God that place was horrible. Tell me why they sent me home claiming I was "stable" after royally screwing up my medication then when I came back asking me why I was back like they didn't have a clue. Hmm let me see. Because you took me off something I needed and sent me home a day after. The only thing the staff do to "address the situation" when somebody is out of control is to send everybody to their rooms for hours. They let their favorites on their phones and they talk and gossip about patients to other patients. Highly disrespectful

First of all, when I first got there I received no toiletries and scrubs that fit me three times my size. I had to ask twice to get a sweater or something to cover up, secondly, there was no hot water. They kept telling me to push the button to make it hotter. It never got hot so only cold showers. Thirdly, one of my dinner meals my last night there was uncrustable for kids with a side of mashed potatoes and carrots. So this must be where most of the insurance money is going to. And then to top it off they lost the clothes that I came in with. They cannot find them so I had to leave with borrowed clothes from another patient. Safe to say staff member could not care less always on their phone and barking orders. seemed to be pissed off to be there all the time taking it out on everyone there suffices to say they just didn't care. The only people that were kind and actually cared were the nurses. I was not there for any kind of mental behavioral issues. I was there for over intoxication of alcohol but the whole time I was there I was treated as if I was a criminal.

Went there in September of 2023 and as I was leaving they told me they couldn't find my suitcase that I had brought in with me (contained all of my clothes, medical paperwork from previous hospitals, my tablet, and other various items). It's been 5 months now and they have stopped answering phone calls. Covington Behavioral is the worst hospital I've ever seen and deserves nothing short of being forcibly closed. Edit 1: 2025 now and I was never able to have anything done or even speak with anyone about my lost stuff.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
While we greatly appreciate your feedback, we are troubled by what we have read. We strive to provide nothing short of clinically excellent care, and it would be extremely helpful if we could have an opportunity to gather more information. In order for us to best understand the circumstances and address your concerns, we ask that you please contact us directly by emailing FeedBack@covingtonbh.com. We hope to be able to speak with you soon. Thank you. <br>
