About Defining Wellness Centers – Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Defining Wellness Centers – Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Brandon, Mississippi, offers inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation for adults. Treatment at the rehabilitation facility focuses on helping you address any underlying trauma or issues that contribute to your addiction. You’ll work with licensed therapists in individual and group sessions who will use various treatment modalities to promote recovery. Some of the amenities available at this location include a spiritual center for meditating, private cottages for clients to live in, and a pond for fishing or relaxing. Additionally, this suburb of Jackson, Mississippi, is known for attractions you can explore such as the Brandon Amphitheater and the McClain Safari.

Every client will begin treatment with a medical assessment and undergo medical detoxification. When you’re well enough, the staff will learn more about your individual history and work with you to develop a treatment plan. The facility is staffed with board certified psychiatrists and licensed therapists. Along with individual and group sessions, patients will engage in educational activities and workshops that will help improve their overall wellness.

I like that they offer a variety of therapeutic modalities to help clients in their recovery journey. Some of the techniques used include music assisted therapy, expressive arts therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Music assisted therapy allows you to write songs with a professional musician who will teach you how to heal through music. At the Spiritual Center on campus, you can choose to participate in different spiritual based healing experiences such as sweat lodges, drumming circles and medicine wheels. You’ll also have access to a fitness center where you can exercise with a personal trainer, take CrossFit classes, and do other activities to take care of your physical needs.

Don't bring anything of value with you to this poorly run place because you won't get it back when you leave. I brought my laptop and a new ssd external and a bag full of usbs because I was afraid of my home being broken into during my stay (it was) but it didn't matter because Defining Wellness stole my stuff anyway. I tried to call about it and they promise to call back and then no one ever does. They also sent me home with someone else's medication. Find a place with people that won't rob you.

I would like to share as a parent who had a family member in treatment at Defining Wellness. My son was very well cared for here and I highly recommend this facility. Addiction affects the entire family, and, thanks to the amazing staff at DW, we also began to heal as a family.I am impressed with every aspect of this program.Victoria and Jenna will always be remembered with such gratitude for their excellence at every turn. This is the best experience my family has had with a treatment facility of this type. Forever grateful.

Accepted Insurance

Defining Wellness Centers – Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab 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

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.

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
Clients stepping down from inpatient care or who prefer to remain at home while receiving intensive treatment may choose to enroll in an outpatient rehab. Outpatient day treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients requiring more robust supervision and daily treatment. Standard outpatient services enable clients to attend addiction counseling and recovery education throughout the week, with many centers offering weekend, night, and evening sessions to accommodate clients' work and family schedules.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program approach recovery as a life-long process. Drug rehab aftercare encompasses myriad services designed to promote clients' continued sobriety as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Clients generally partner with their case managers and recovery team to define their recovery needs and goals and to identify and access the services they need to promote them. These often include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Recommended as a flexible and intensive addiction treatment option, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is often used as an alternative to inpatient rehab. With daily sessions typically lasting up to six hours for five days a week, PHP treatment provides evidence-based therapies and medical care while allowing you to return home every evening. The length of PHP treatment varies based on your needs, but it averages 90 days.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During early phases of recovery, 24-hour clinical care in Mississippi provides several advantages that can improve recovery outcomes. First, medical staff can prescribe medications to manage withdrawal. Second, staff are available 24/7 to address mental health issues that arise. Third, any other medical issues can be addressed, such as illness or medication management. Lastly, this intensive level of treatment can provide nutritional care to further improve the individual's health.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Under the 24/7 care of medical professionals, a medically supervised detox helps to ensure your maximum safety and comfort while ridding the body of all addictive substances. In many cases, your medical team will administer various medications (like Suboxone or methadone) to help alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. After you are fully detoxed off drugs and alcohol, you'll likely transition to the next stage of your recovery process.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

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

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
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

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Creative arts therapy allows you to express the emotions you can't explain with words. You use an art form, such as dance, music, painting, or sculpting, to talk through and share your thoughts and feelings.

I thoroughly did enjoy my time at Defining Wellness, mainly with the connections I made while there. Unfortunately, even when being self pay & paying for a private room so I could have access to my electronics for work related task, they still have control to take them from you. Cellphone & computer were taken from me on my first day there, for no reason! As I was slowly “granted” access to my devices, I still had zero time to complete my work (which is a huge priority to me) due to the lack of time I was allowed my devices. Due to that, it has resulted to me losing certain responsibilities to my job now currently, which has cause immense stress now in my daily life. I chose becoming a “resident” in this facility due to believing I could still handle my work task while getting help for myself. Sadly, that did not happen. Overall, I am glad I entered this facility as I do believe it was my jump start to sobriety. But I do wish things would have been handled differently within this place. (fake name for privacy reasons)

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Being in treatment requires embracing structure to navigate the 12 steps effectively and fully immerse yourself in a new way of life. We understand the hardships and appreciate you staying with us. We're glad that we were able to help jumpstart your sobriety!
