About Doctors Behavioral Health Center

Doctors Behavioral Health Center is located in Modesto, California, and has been helping Stanislaus County residents with programs and services dedicated for mental health. The facility accepts many payment options like private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and financial assistance which makes these services accessible to all individuals. With inpatient and outpatient services, the center offers everything clients need to start their road to recovery.

For more severe cases they provide 24-hour care inside their psychiatric unit, where clients receive an evaluation and medication stabilization. This is very important for patients who are struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders like drug abuse, anxiety, PTSD or severe depression.

Outpatient and Inpatient Options

The center offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP) which is a daily program that provides intense therapy during the day and allows patients to return home at night. Some of these sessions include group therapy with your peers, skills training and family support. These programs are ideal for patients that need continued treatment after completing the inpatient program.

Staff and Setting Designed for Recovery

This facility is only a short drive away from Dry Creek and Woodrow park which are perfect areas to clear your mind and focus on your recovery while enjoying nature walks, hiking and recreational sports. The staff here is made up of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, therapists, counselors and recreational therapists. This multidisciplinary team approach ensures every patient receives the attention and care they need.

There facility is awful took myself there because I needed help for suicidal thoughts and they locked me in a room with no windows or anything and there was a concrete bed and the help there is a joke. I waited 2 days to see a doctor. They didn't even meet with me for two days.. I wanted out of there and they didn't let me even though it was my right to let myself out of there as I took myself there. They need to be shut down it's ridiculous and so unclean too there was dirt and dist everywhere.

This facility is ACTIVELY mistreating my partner who is currently hospitalized here and poisoning them as well. My partner had Stephen-Johnson reaction to Keppra 14 months ago due to an apparent allergy and they are forcing them to take Keppra and delegitimizing the seizures being caused by the allergy. I was visiting them last night and the visitation was cut short because of vomiting cause by the medication allergen.This facility does not listen to actual diagnoses.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

Intervention Services

When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Medically Assisted Detox

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

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.

hello world

1 month ago

I had multiple encounters with psychiatrist Dr. Medi while receiving care at Doctors Behavioral Health Center. During each of those interactions, her conduct was consistently hostile, unprofessional, and demeaning — but what happened during our very first meeting says it all. The moment I sat down — without saying a word — she looked visibly offended and said, “eww.” I was in a psychiatric emergency, completely vulnerable, and had not even spoken yet. That was her immediate reaction to me. Throughout my care, I was repeatedly met with verbal aggression, inappropriate comments, and emotional hostility. On another visit, she slammed a book down and screamed at me without provocation. Her behavior wasn’t clinical — it was cruel, punitive, and retraumatizing. I was never combative, threatening, or disruptive. I was in clear distress and needed help. Instead, I was made to feel subhuman by someone who is supposed to care for patients in crisis. Dr. Medi’s conduct reflects a gross lack of empathy and professionalism. Her actions fall far below the standard of care expected in any medical setting — particularly in psychiatric care. I will be filing formal complaints with the California Medical Board and other relevant oversight bodies. Her behavior, in my opinion, borders on psychiatric malpractice. If you or someone you love is in a mental health emergency, I urge caution. This provider is not equipped to treat vulnerable people with the respect or dignity they deserve.

[This is a genuine google review with no intention of violating policy. I say that in case another attempt is made in reporting it, which raises more concerns. Looking through other reviews, it's clear that this experience isn't isolated. There's a recurring pattern of complaints about: Rude and unprofessional staff, especially receptionists Neglect of patients' medical and mental health needs Poor communication with families Unsafe and unsanitary conditions Inadequate treatment options Patients reportedly leaving in worse condition than when they arrived] [The standard suggestion to email patientexperience@tenethealth.com appears to be an attempt to move complaints out of public view rather than a genuine effort to resolve systemic issues. Multiple reviewers mention contacting this address without satisfactory outcomes.They were able to hide this review somehow but I reached out to google so that wouldn't be the case] I am writing this review to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the unacceptable behavior of the receptionist Breanne at this facility during a recent crisis involving my mother, who is a patient here. We had just lost someone three months ago, which has led to this mental crisis and when I received an alarming call from my mother, I immediately contacted the facility to ensure her safety and well-being. However, the receptionist was dismissive, insensitive, and rude, initially claiming that my mother was not a patient at the facility without even attempting to verify the information. When I called back to confirm my mother's status, the receptionist became defensive and hostile after I called out her initial approach, raising her voice and it was clear that she was not interested in helping me. After expressing my frustration with her inappropriate behavior, I handed the phone to my wife, who calmly and respectfully attempted to gather information about my mother's well-being. Throughout the conversation, the receptionist's tone remained irritable. It was only due to my wife's patient and persistent efforts that the receptionist finally confirmed my mother was safe. However, shockingly, the receptionist then abruptly hung up on my wife while she was still speaking, leaving us with unresolved concerns and questions. While I understand that working in a mental health facility can be challenging, there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of professionalism, empathy, and basic human decency displayed by the receptionist. It is essential for individuals working in this field to be equipped with the necessary skills and training to handle sensitive situations with care, understanding, and a focus on the well-being of both patients and their families. The receptionist's behavior was completely unacceptable and inexcusable, causing my family unnecessary distress and potentially delaying critical care for my mother during an already emotionally devastating time. I strongly urge the facility's management to address this issue promptly and provide extensive staff training to ensure that patients and their families are treated with the compassion, respect, and professionalism they deserve, especially during times of crisis. The receptionist's behavior should not be tolerated or defended, as it goes against the fundamental principles of patient care and human decency. I hope that by sharing my experience, I can help prevent other families from enduring similar mistreatment and ensure that this Doctors 'Behavioral Health Center' takes the necessary steps to improve their staff's conduct and prioritize the well-being of their patients and their loved ones.
