About Hillcrest Commons Nursing

Hillcrest Commons Nursing is primarily a nursing and rehabilitation facility for older adults. It’s based out in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. While they mostly focus on rehab and skilled nursing, they do offer support services for individuals who have completed a substance use disorder treatment program and are in recovery.

Pittsfield is the largest city in the Berkshires. This former industrial hub is now known for its art community, natural beauty and historic sites.

Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

Hillcrest Commons is part of the Integritus Healthcare system, which is the leading nonprofit in Massachusetts for post acute and long-term care. In addition to skilled nursing and rehabilitation, the staff offers hospice and palliative care services. This gives a unique insight into how addictive medication can affect an individual.

While clients with life limiting illnesses need not be concerned with long term addiction, those undergoing short term rehabilitation or seniors who are at elevated risk for addiction and mental illness because of declining health can benefit from this expertise.

Short Term Rehabilitation Addresses Complex Needs

After a serious illness or injury, you may require short term rehabilitation to address your complex needs, including pain management. Upon your admission, they begin planning for your discharge, ensuring that your personalized plan is coordinated with your primary care provider and additional community resources that may be needed.

Individuals undergoing wound care or orthopedic rehabilitation may have undergone withdrawal and detox before beginning short term rehabilitation, as these are typically painful conditions.

Front desk receptionist Debbie is very unpleasant answers the phone with so much aggression and felt like I was in the wrong for calling! wasn’t helpful and very rude when asking questions about my FATHER who is there receiving care! Please hire someone that likes the job they do! and Customer service is number one especially in a nursing home! Debbies personality over the phone was a -100/10!

This place is awful. The lack of communication is ridiculous. With the exception of s few staff members, most of them are unprofessional, lazy and inexperienced, especially the CNAs. Not to mention the food is atrocious.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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 Behavioral Health Program offers full-time trained staff and a clinical specialist to reach the patient needs at any time.

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 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.

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.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
