My mom was admitted involuntarily to the hospital for psychosis. She came back like her usual self. I'll preface this that I don't know of many patients who want to be admitted to a hospital--I can only share my experience for those who were worried by the reviews. The case manager, Estella was very communicative and answered all our questions every 2 days. She was able to accept calls as well. In order to talk to the patient, you'll need them to share a 4 digit code with you via call--which is a little tricky depending on the patient's state. I didn't get mine until 3 days after admission when my mom was more conscious. You'll only be able to visit every other day for 45 minutes during lunch. This is strictly so you can talk to each other, you basically cannot give them anything substantial, they are strict with what you can bring in to make sure no one harms themselves or others. For tips if you are a caretaker, this is what helped my family: 1. Prep questions, once they call you, they will be as thorough as possible and answer as many things as they are legally allowed to. 2. Let your loved one know to cooperate-they are trying to find out the right doses and timing for them. Finding it our sooner can help them leave that much quicker. 3. Let them know of any dietary restrictions and communication preferences like language barriers. My mom can speak some English, but for more complex topics, a translator was needed. Overall, the experience was good, not that I had much control whether or not to admit her to the hospital. It did help knowing that it didn't fit the original mental hospital stigma I had. Everyone was kind and cared about patient safety.

Went in for mental health issues. I don’t think anyone’s happy to be 5150’d or 5250’d, but I can say that the treatment was effective and I left feeling much improved. Facilities were kept clean and food was decent. I’ve had worse experiences. Staff were friendly, attentive, and understanding. Thank you for your help!

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

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. The Adult Inpatient Program at Fremont Hospital is a specialized level of care designed to meet the needs of individuals 18 years and older who are experiencing severe psychiatric disorders. It is built upon the belief that we can achieve recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems through a comprehensive approach to one’s psychological and social needs.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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 California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

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.

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 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 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

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Shoutout to Dr. Gondara, Marina, Steve, and Dani. Thank you for showing so much kindness and support. However outside of you guys the hospital was just not good. I struggle with an eating disorder and was constantly talked about infront of my peers. I had two men sexually harassing me and a few of my peers. Inderjit caused my roommate to cry until she threw up. And ontop of all that the night staff was always so loud and rude. The deodorant doesn’t work so everyone smells gross and they have the cheapest products to use of all time. I hate leaving reviews like this but I do believe in honesty. Please do better and clean better for future patients. We have every right to be treated as human beings in our venerable states.

Fremont used to treat my daughter and family with dignity. I don’t know what happened today but I called early 8am, 9am, and 10 am, before and while I was traveling the 2 hours to visit my child and wanted to make sure I did everything correctly. No one answered the phone so I brought a deodorant since my child’s case worker said if she can’t have the deodorant Fremont would store it in her locker. Excited to see her, we get to the front and the front desk person pointed out that: 1) that I had one too many people for her visit (a question I was trying to ask before I left,) 2) visitors needed to be over 18, one of mine was 17 (another question I was trying to ask before I drove all the way out here,) 3) I couldn’t bring the food we purchased to enjoy a lunch with her (would have been nice to know before I purchased it) 4) they would not allow me to leave my child’s deodorant in her locker, even if it was suggested by the case worker that they could hold it in her locker. It wasn’t the fact that they “couldn’t,” it was truly this person’s attitude. I called multiple times trying to get the rules right and no one answered. When I get there we are snapped at. When I ask for help, the man still had to hold a horrible attitude and shoved my family off. During the visit I received glares from him and felt harassed. This guy had no tact- he was even rude to my 17 year old and she was extremely polite. I’m driving home and wanting to cry because of this interaction- my other kid is trying to cheer me up - we have a 2 hr drive home and this man at Fremont has made me feel like I failed the child I cannot help, right now. Again Fremont used to be a safe place for my family.

Falsely extended my 5150 hold and lied on my medical record saying I answered YES to "thoughts of hurting myself or others" when I answered NO. Staff was verbally abusive to me and other patients.
