They have no care for other people's schedules but their own, they don’t care if you are busy they will make you cancel all the plans, they don't care about anything. When you see them they want to you out as fast as they can, my counselor never listened to my concerns.

Their services support people with the most serious needs using fewer resources to meet those needs. They offer discounted fee scales based on income and household size to keep treatment accessible.
Integrea Community Mental Health serves four counties in Alabama. This includes Chambers, Lee, Russell and Tallapoosa.

The administrative offices also double as the adult service center with services including outpatient therapy, medication assessment and management and case management. This can particularly benefit those with co-occurring disorders.
Tailored Care for Lasting Recovery
Integrea offers outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment programs for adults with substance use issues. This program guides patients towards a lasting healing journey and promotes substance free lifestyle. Certain specialized programs are available for women as well. Outpatient services here begin with a psychosocial assessment to help the care team determine the appropriate level of care based on your unique needs. Intensive outpatient care is typically provided for patients with moderate substance use issues seeking relatively structured and intensive treatment support. Standard outpatient care is suitable for people with mild addictive behavior.
Assessment also facilitates personalized treatment planning to tailor care to your unique recovery goals. Following the assessment, you’ll attend group and individual therapy alongside psychoeducational sessions. This provides you with deeper insight into the disease of addiction, stages of recovery and relapse warning signs.
You’ll also learn the effects of substance abuse on families, communication and anger management skills and other practical coping skills that prevent relapse. Family involvement and participation are encouraged to create positive family dynamics and strengthen your copy system.
Ongoing therapeutic support is provided as you move forward in recovery. They also have services for children and adolescents affected by substance use via the Family and Children’s Services. Integrea also partners with Lee Courts to support individuals facing substance use challenges while navigating the court system.

Very unprofessional. My appointment was scheduled at 1:45pm but due to weather I arrived at 1:52 pm. They said my appointment was at 1:30 . My appointment card said 1:45 pm. They said they had new requirements for grace time. I did not receive a courtesy appointment reminder for my appointment or new changes.. Did not get to talk to Dr.that day despite asking to sit in the lobby until almost 3:00.
Three stars because Paul Moon is amazing, and Dr. Tank is pretty great so far.But the lady up front with the ponytail was rude and made me feel stupid because I went up front with a request that my therapist told me to ask for. She gave the vibe like she's better than me. Do better, ma'am.
Dr.Tank is the worst doctor I've ever met. I have an extensive history of mental health issues however I almost committed thanks to his lack of understanding, empathy, and care. He refused me medication I've already been on for 10+years. When confronted on this matter he said "if you're this angry I don't know how people at home deal with you" Mind you he doesn't even come to the office! You stare at a TV while he talks at you like you don't matter! I understand when people are monotone I have experience with it due to autism in my friends and family. His is uncaring and cold. All considered I believe this is unacceptable and he should honestly loose his license. Dr. Eve however is the most patient, loving woman I've ever met in my life. She picked me up when he failed to help with medication. She has fought for me through this all and is part of why I'm carrying on.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
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 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 Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, people in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Participants reside at the rehab facility until they complete their treatment program. This allows them to focus solely on their recovery, away from outside distractions, stressors, and addiction triggers. Inpatient drug rehab typically involves extensive addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.
Intensive 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 Support Rehab aftercare programs are designed to provide support to you after completing an addiction treatment program. These programs are highly customized and evolve with your changing needs. You'll partner with staff at the treatment center to identify any specific medical, behavioral, and social services needed to support your sustained sobriety. Aftercare services may include peer coaching, career counseling, and other personalized support.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Alabama provides medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for drug dependency. Methods of treatment often include a combination of medication, counseling, and recreational therapies.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.
Clinical Services
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Alabama is to lessen the symptoms of certain mental health conditions, including substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. It is known as one of the most effective means of treatment for these conditions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy designed to treat individuals who are experiencing intense emotions. It is often used in Alabama for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, and other mental health conditions.
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.
Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction involves one on one sessions with a therapist to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction. Your therapist may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or Motivational Interviewing to help you develop coping strategies and work towards long term sobriety.
Rehab treatment in Alabama often involves motivational interviewing (MI). This is an evidence based approach that helps you discover your own interest in change. You'll decide for yourself what next steps you're willing to commit to in order to reach your goals.
Trauma therapy helps you process and heal from traumatic events. Your therapist provides a safe space for you to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and integrate the traumatic experience into a more coherent narrative. This helps to promote long term mental health.
Recreational therapy in Alabama integrates sports, art, and outdoor adventures into drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This promotes physical, mental, and emotional health alongside improving social skills, offering a holistic approach to sobriety. Recreational therapy can help you rebuild your life within a supportive and engaging environment.
