I was admitted in February 2022 as minor. It was a very 50/50 experience for me. There were training psych nurses who came in from other institutes to train and they were the sweetest and most understanding….where as the regular nurses who stayed on the floor with the patients/patient rooms, where snappy as hell. One of the therapy activity leaders allowed me to leave the activity room to get a pen and I basically got reprimanded by a nurse saying I was being rude to the activity leader? Also multiple times through my experience I was not able to be accommodated properly with necessities. Everytime I asked for a new pair of those scrub pants/shirts they provide, I was met with snappiness and hostility after kindly asking for items like soap, new underwear, etc. my roommate had also suffered a great amount of pain in her back but because her X-rays came out “clean” the staff constantly ignored her cries for help. Overall I felt more traumatized by the nursing staff.

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.

My daughter (13 yo) was here for 7 days. Read throughly so you get suggestions on how to handle the hospitalization. The staff (when they could be reached, which I will talk about later) are skilled and caring. The woman the the front desk (Maila) was wonderful, but very busy. While I sat waiting for discharge, she had several tasks paired with whatever came up. There was a former patient trying to reach another patient and giving her the run around because they did not have the code (they must have a code to contact the wards). She was very kind at every step, but Imagine such scenarios happening several times per shift. My daughter says the hospital itself is good, the food is good, the staff are good; however, the patients make it terrible. There were fights, and several youth getting "booty juiced" which thank goodness only means being tranquilized. Most youth "crashed out" when learning their 72 hr would be extended. If the hold is extended its likely needed, I can attest that my daughter needed the 7 days she was there. They are not(at least I do not think) in the business of arbitrarily keeping youth beyond the necessary time. I am thankful to know the stress is not because of staff antagonism, neglect, or some such reason. This is a hospital, and a mental one at that; it is short staffed and busy. It is a difficult environment and patient care is going to take precedent over answering the phone on the ward. They may be having to "booty juice" a patient; it might be your family member. what I suggest: 1. This is a more "don't call us, we'll call you" deal. Trust me, they will call if necessary. They will call at 11:45 pm, right when you finally are able to get some sleep to tell you if something happened. Don't ask me how I know. No news is good news. 2.Writing down all of the questions that come up will help tremendously. I did not have any problem getting the attention necessary once I was called by the doctor, or case workers; they all gave me ample time and answered questions thoroughly. 3. Setting visitation schedule once you get the staff on line, be they in person or zoom visits; and make sure they are logged (especially zoom, you don't want to try scheduling day of with these) 4. get the email address for any follow up. 5. Please, accept the nature of the facility; it's fast paced, things change on a dime. Patients crash out and take up staffing resources. (in 7 days there were 13 crash outs on one unit and 6 on another; some were pretty serious physical altercations (not arbitrary, this one kid started lots of crap)). Your calls may go unanswered, the staff could forget to tell your family you called. The paperwork involved with the tranquilizing, fights while also running groups, caring for patients, with short staff makes them have to prioritize. 6. relax, trust me, I was a troubled youth in my past, and have been in institutions. I can tell you this place is the real deal. The people are skilled and they care, my daughter attests to this and I saw it first hand. I do not see how a horrible staff could last here, the environment would not allow such a person. 7. During the school year the hospitals get really chaotic, however summer hospitalizations are less stressful. Kids are having problems during school time and not summer. School year= more kids and more incidents. I hope this helps. My daughter benefitted from the hospital.
