Horrible facility. We had our 13yr old in this facility for about 3 weeks. His father and I are not together but communicate well. This facility only communicated with his father. We have joint custody. I was left completely out of the loop, his dad passed along messages thankfully. My son was bullied by other kids while he was there and ended up in the hospital since it didn t help his suicidal thoughts. The bullies were talked to but my son was punished by adding another month to his stay because him going in the hospital was a punishable offense. When we finally had enough and withdrew him from the facility we were left without any medications for my son with severe psychosis for an entire weekend because they told us they wouldn t give us back his meds (that we gave them); said they were destroying them. Spiteful because we withdrew him without them releasing him. Thankfully an ER doctor filled his meds until his appointment with an outpatient psychiatrist. This place doesn t care about your child - they care only about your money! I strongly urge you to seek care elsewhere.FIVE YEARS LATER, I just wanted to add some encouragement here for those of you going through a situation that has you reading a review for this type of place. Pulling him out of here was the start of his road to recovery. My son is now 18. He is healthy. He started college this past fall and he s a straight A student. But most of all, he s happy and moved past this part of his life. There is hope, hang in there.

My stay here was almost absolutely insane. It was 50/50. Some patients were not under control whatsoever. The only good staff there was Caren,Lexi,Cynthia,marissa, and Carolyn. The therapist didn t listen to what I had to say and always went by my moms word (she barely knows me) and kept poking at my insecurities and when I told her to stop she never did

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

Inpatient

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatments

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.

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.

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

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.

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.

Unfortunately insurance pushed this low bid facility as the only option on what they will cover. don’t believe their quote “we take pride”. What others have commented I feel is 100 percent accurate.

This place is very unprofessional. I’m out months later and this place has taught me nothing. It’s just staff following rules, but in reality untrained to deal with situations. More of just being locked up in a house till you feel like ur going insane and they feel like doing worksheets everyday is enough therapy. I could go on and on about this place but I Can’t lie I did really like some of the staff, it’s the program itself especially the manager she doesn’t really care about any of the kids. Also the therapist herself I was there for almost a month and I was lucky if I got 2 weeks with her.

There’s only 3 good staff (maddy, samantha, Bianca) I had allot of hard times with them, but in the end the things they do is because they care. This place is ok depending on the group of kids. They’re working on making better groups. The therapist Bacically gives you sessions when she remembers. In my experience, there’s no curriculum for the groups. The staff just find random stuff of of therapist aid. This place made me allot worse then I was already, once I got out I started doing allot better.

If your child is simply depressed or anxious and tends to hold her feelings in, the Mood and Anxiety Program is probably a great fit. For those kids who don't fit that profile, however, the program is a revolving door to the police and psych ward on a 51/50. My daughter had an argument with her roommate, nasty words were exchanged, and my daughter got angry. My daughter is a large girl and her anger intimidated the staff to the extent that they called the police, and she ended up in the psych ward. We made the mistake of sending her back to CFD, and she was not contrite enough for them, and they made no attempt at restorative justice with the roommate. In fact, they insisted that no one at the house had ever said an unkind word to my daughter. In my conversation with the director where she told me my daughter needed to leave, and after I agreed, she proceeded to itemize my daughter's every negative trait to me. There was no purpose to kicking us while we were down, other than her offgassing her frustration and hatred for my daughter on me. We begged them to keep my daughter while we scrambled to find a new placement, but eventually the director had had enough and purposely told my daughter about our plans to send her to a long term facility which she knew would make her explode, which allowed her to call the police and wash her hands if her. This was not her news to share, as we were collaborating with our consultant on a new placement. CFD wasn't providing placement services. She clearly thought my daughter was evil and the we as the parents were at fault for her mental illness. The experience was traumatizing for our whole family, and has set my daughter's recovery back.
