I would like to express my concerns for those who are considering an appointment with HSC and Dr.Minhas. Dr.Minhas should not be seeing special needs patients. This doctor didn't even have the decency to greet my son or family with a hello or hand shake, and gave less than ten minutes for our appointment. This man is extremely rude, arrogant and unprofessional. To wait months for this appointment and how it resulted was a waste of time. Dr.Minhas should not be in contact with people, rather in a lab with mice. I don't think this man is capable of helping those in need.

Dr.Minhas and the entire Autism center was a waste of time! It s unacceptable to have a family and their special needs child sit for 1 1/2 hours with a nurse while she takes the medical information in person, meanwhile ALL medical paperwork was sent in advance. None of the information was reviewed by them prior to the appointment. After sitting with the nurse, we were told we probably won t see the doctor and another appointment needs to be made. Totally unacceptable! Dr.Minhas finally came in after us demanding to see him and spent less than 2 minutes with our special needs child, mind you Dr.Minhas never personally interacted with him, just observed him from a far.This appointment was so disappointing. Unprofessional and a waste of time!Don t settle, when it comes to your special needs family member demand the best care, which is not at this facility!

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.

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

Inpatient

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.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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

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.

I was in their PHP (Partial Hospital Program) 1 year ago, they treat the kids well and offer lots of classes, usually in speech and OT. It’s not fun but it’s functional. The nurse, Gabby, is also very nice.

Thank you for your kind words, we will share your message with the team.

I am permanently disabled since 2016 and I have been a “professional patient my whole life. As a DCF contractor, I was assigned a big high profile case for a two year old who was beaten, almost to death. What I witnessed, learned and loved about HFSC is that everyone who works there WANTS to be there and all of the staff were always smiling in the halls and you can “feel” the commitment to compassionate and THE VERY BEST in comprehensive care like I have not witnessed anywhere before or still. I have continuously recommend HFSC since working that case. Not only did that beautiful baby girl live, but her progress was unprecedented because of your staff. So, when I needed physical therapy in 2017, I demanded that HFSC was to be the ONLY option for me. My care team in 2017 and my care team now are indescribable regarding their calling in life and their continued commitment to incomparable care and expertise. I drive over an hour now because I’m not taking ANY I feel loved here and it always feels like home.

Thank you so much for your review. We're honored to be a part of your healing journey!

Dr Kevin Felice was exceptional. He explained the complex issues and the procedure better than any doctor I have ever been to, and he seemed to really care. Kudos for having such an amazing doctor on staff. And if that wasn’t enough, Maraibell at the front desk on the phone was an absolute delight to coordinate with and really made an effort to get me in as quickly as possible, looking for any cancellations:) Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your review! We are honored you chose us for care and will share your kind words with the team.

Terrible experience. Sister went there for years, staff let her fall through the cracks. Kim the speech therapist terrible experience and Hayley OT terrible experience. Bo the head of the outpatient therapy, terrible. Gretchen is cool. Another PT named Noelle was good, Kelly PT terrible. There is a cognitive psychologist there. He is balding with a little bit of red hair, terrible. Angel a nurse for Dr. Whittaker, terrible. Dottie Layton a wound care specialist was seeing neuro patients. My sister needed special care and no one stepped to the plate. Should be called the hospital for mediocre care. If someone has a complex issue, please provide referrals if it isn’t in your wheel house. People like the titles, acting like you are doing a good job but just so you all know, everyone I named did a terrible job. Please be retrained and start over or hang it up. You are so disappointing Oh. I did call and complain. I want my complaint to be public with the names of staff because that’s how upset and disappointed I am with the hospital. BO, KIM, KELLY, HAYLEY, ANGEL, do better and look into compassion fatigue. Or maybe the hospital has terrible policies in place and aren’t supporting its staff in the best way possible. If you are a person with a disability just make sure you have the right kind of disability that isnt too complex, ya know. Because if you do have a complex disability it’s gonna be too much work for them
