The staff was at times very incompetent and rude as if they couldn't do their work. A lot of my appointments were canceled at the last minute. The communication is really bad even when they move to another location nobody called me to notify it.
About Grandview Behavioral Health Center
Located in Gadsden, Alabama, is the Grandview Behavioral Health Center. This is a health center that provides outpatient services to children, adolescents and adults who are working through a behavioral health struggle.
There are also targeted programs that focus on recovery from a chemical dependency. They also offer employee assistance services.
The Grandview Behavioral Health Center works through a contracted partnership with Mountain View Hospital. If you seek treatment such as inpatient care for your addiction struggles from Mountain View Hospital, you can get referred to continuing services through the Grandview Behavioral Health Center.
Evidence Based Outpatient Treatment
At Grandview Behavioral Health Center, you’ll find that the treatment services are grounded in evidence based practices. As with Mountain View, there is a clinical feel to the care you’ll receive.
There are medication management services here that can help you tackle symptoms associated with your mental health or chemical dependency. Before you reach this point, however, there are psychiatric assessments that will take place to determine the appropriate diagnosis. If you have a coexisting mental health diagnosis, that will be addressed too.
The bulk of their outpatient services are rooted in individual and family counseling sessions. It’s through these counseling sessions that you’ll work through the triggers and emotional challenges that have contributed to your substance use struggles.
While you can expect to receive top quality care here, a downside expressed by past clients is that the care team is only available on select days of the week. For some clients, this has been an issue because they say you won’t have that accessible same-day care as you might with other facilities.
Individualized Behavioral Healthcare
Although services are very much clinical, there is a strong focus on providing individualized care. Their case management services help push you toward different community support services and programs like local 12 Step programs that can support you.

I would say this hospital is not a good one. I had a 16 year old male sent there. When he got out, his he started talking about gang, acting like he's was a murderer, acting worse, the nurses are ok. But this place itself is not best for kids.
If it were possible, I would leave negative stars. I was sent here as a child (11yrs) to treat suicidal thoughts, an attempt, and depression. While I was here, the care I received was absolutely abhorrent. They don’t provide actual counseling, the nurses are wicked and uncaring, and facility is disgraceful. On the adolescent floor, there were many angry and violent children, whose behavior was made worse by the staff who would only step in to intervene if people were physically fighting. Violent patients weren’t separated from the non-violent ones. I was forced to share a room mid-way through my week there with a girl who had been attacking people verbally and physically since long before I had arrived. She was moved to my room from her private room in order to make for another patient being admitted, anything for the profit right Mountain View? She would later go on to attack me as well. The only focus here is routine. As long as you stick to their dining and recess schedule, they consider you to be “on the right track”. I met with a therapist twice: one time when I had first arrived, and the second directly before I was discharged. And I can say this as someone who’s had to be in therapy my whole life after this experience that the “therapy” they give you is really just a questionnaire for risk assessment. The one and only time I was asked about coping skills was by a nurse, who then went on to belittle and degrade the fact that I found music to help calm me down when I was stressed. My first night there, I asked for an extra blanket. The one they had provided for the rock-solid mattress were thin and had moth holes peppered across the fabric. I asked for a new blanket EVERY SINGLE DAY and every time I was met with “Sure, I’ll bring it,” and it never came. Ever. If it is the last thing you do, DO NOT send your child here. It one of the worst things you could do for their mental health. This hospital is a sham full of the deepest depravity.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
