Latest Reviews
At Henderson Behavioral Health all the staff are very compassionate and professional at all times.
Truly dedicated to deal with a "demanding" clientele and helping in solving their difficult issues.
God bless them all.
They are not miracle workers, but they sure try their best.
Very sad that some of our kids are sometimes beyond help.
In some ways we have to take some blame for this. This works best when we , as parents, are able to detect symptoms early and get them help early, denial gets in the way.
Sometimes is very difficult to see when our children are struggling mentally,
No parent wants to admit to this,
Even worse, we don’t know how to deal with it. Is difficult.
We were very lucky.
Ray , Katoya worked, and helped our daughter.
Yosi, worked with us, she helped us understand how to deal with this.
Without her help, I have no doubt things would have turned out different.
Today, our daughter is home, different person, graduated High school.
Most importantly, she is alive.
This was my experience with Dr. Evelyn Noelle on August 7, 2025 : With this experience I have decided to switch to a new provider due to this provider being uncaring and unethical .
Reasons:
1. Premature Diagnostic Assumptions:
• When asked about feeling manic, the provider immediately suggested that I “probably have bipolar disorder” without conducting a thorough assessment.
• This response did not make me feel comfortable or confident in the evaluation.
2. Dismissal of Side Effects:
• I reported that my current medication (Lexapro) causes excessive sweating, which is a known side effect.
• The provider denied this as a side effect and dismissed my research, telling me not to “believe everything you see on Google.”
3. Vague Medication Explanation:
• When asked about the new medication she was recommending, she initially stated it would help “with everything” I am experiencing.
• Only after repeated questioning did she mention anxiety and depression specifically.
• No clear discussion of potential side effects or mechanism of action was provided.
4. Medical Records for Travel:
• I requested my medical records for potential travel and relocation to another country.
• The provider questioned why I would need them and made me feel incompetent for requesting them.
• She suggested that TSA or other authorities would only need the medication bottle information, which is insufficient for international healthcare requirements.
5. Cannabis Use / Dismissive Attitude:
• When I disclosed occasional cannabis use, she criticized it, saying it is “very bad” and that I could never know what I am putting into my body, dismissing my research and preparation.
• She shared an anecdote about a patient who allegedly experienced paranoia from cannabis use, implying a worst-case scenario without medical evidence.
6. Medication Quantity / Pressure:
• She repeatedly stated that taking multiple medications (6–8) is normal and necessary to feel better, using hand gestures to illustrate “up and down” levels.
• I expressed a preference to avoid excessive medication, which was not respected or addressed.
7. Irrelevant Personal Anecdotes:
• She shared stories about her daughter’s medication and other patients’ experiences rather than focusing on my care.
• She avoided answering questions about her daughter’s potential ADHD diagnosis.
8. Medication Sent Without Consent:
• After my visit, the new medication was sent to me without confirmation of my decision or payment.
• I did not take the medication due to concerns about side effects, including movement, muscle stiffness, and potential mania with Lexapro.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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
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 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
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.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
