Kettering Health Behavioral Medical Center

About Kettering Health Behavioral Medical Center

Located in Dayton, Ohio in the Moraine area, Kettering Health Behavioral Medical Center is a dedicated team that helps their patients battle against addiction and mental health issues. I was immediately struck by how many services they offered and even their levels of care. They offer inpatient services, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient services. Within each of these categories, you can find plenty of help.

Every Level of Care You Need on Your Recovery Journey in Dayton

Starting with their inpatient care, you can find plenty of counseling services and get these services around the clock. These include not only individual and group therapy but also occupational therapy, medication management to make sure that you’re taking the right dose at the right time, recreational therapy, which makes treatment more fun, and substance abuse therapy.

For their outpatient programs, both the intensive and standard ones, you’ll get the same kind of counseling and treatment. You’ll also get psychiatric evaluations and follow-up services even after your treatment is over. This is called aftercare, and essentially, they’ll help you get your life back to the right standing once you leave treatment. This could mean helping find work for you or any community resources, including housing help.

Clinical Care in a Comfortable and Welcoming Atmosphere

As I looked at their virtual tour, I noticed that everything seemed very clean and cozy. They even have a gymnasium, a dining room, and a very serene and beautiful-looking courtyard. They have a psychiatric unit that looks similar to a hospital, but again, it looks very clean and inviting. I would certainly check out this location if you feel like you could benefit from their services.

Don't come here if you don't want to be insulted, talked about or ridiculed in your current mental position without empathy or understanding. Super unprofessional to talk about the patients behind their back when you think they're like a zombie and out of it due to their medication, side note I'm not I heard everything. Doesn't know how to hire the right damn people, used a STUDENT for my medication dose and would not confess what her name is until pressured to do so, came in miserable; came out feeling 10x miserable on abillyfe . Just skip this place, go to a therapist or a professional psychiatrist before you try to get help here.

This place genuinely saved my life. I spent five months here between ages 17 and 18, and genuinely believe that I owe my continuing existence to this place. Before going, I was so scared of what I would be without my depression and anxiety - I had grown so comfortable in it that I was truly convinced it was and should be my entire personality. I was regularly hurting myself, watching disturbing videos (that I'm still dealing with in therapy today), and worse. I was terrified to come here, but it wasn't at all what I had expected. The place was warm, welcoming, and matter-of-fact about what was going on. They aren't overly-coddling, they're there to seriously help you, and if you genuinely want help and to change, then you will change for the better every time. Many people are put off by how hard the work to change your mindset and essentially entire mental identity really is, and they give up. But this place paved the way for me to become who I am today. I learned coping skills and ways of thinking here that I would never have ever learned anywhere else, and I am so happy to see the people I love have improved mental health after I teach them some of the skills that I learned here.

I was treated with kindness, compassion, and understanding. Their staff is truly top notch and very knowledgeable as well as patient and dedicated. The facility is comfortable and extremely clean. I recommend KBMC to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or any other crisis you're going through.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

EDIT TO MY REVIEW: without speaking to me at all they discontinued my ADHD medication and said I no longer needed it as if my ADHD magically went away. Was a 5 star review, now a 2 star. Would give 1 but the nurses were really sweet. I can only speak for unit A, but it was an amazing experience. The staff really seemed to be involved and caring. It can be a bit boring from time to time, but ultimately I came out much better than when I went in.

I am surprised to see so many negative reviews about this wonderful place. The staff here at KBMC are not humans; they are Angels. From the colors and uniforms they wear which represent positive emotions, to the kindness and concern for their patients. I am not kidding. They don’t accepted walk in and that is the only thing i can complain about. You have to be referred from emergency room. I wish to go back and get more help. Thank you KBMC.

If this was about the nurses in the adult in patient unit they would get 5 stars from me. I came here for help, I admitted my self for help, the doctor come around 1 time in the morning for 5 minutes and somehow they run the place? Rachel the pysch who ever is inpersonable and she has 0 business being in this business- she pretends she listens and then prescribes you what you said didn’t work. I fell through the cracks again and left here feeling more hopeless and suicidal then when I went in. I left on an antidepressant, when my breakdown was anxiety induced? And nothing for anxiety? Make that make sense. I wasted 4 days here for them to do absolutely nothing for me. When I mentioned I felt this way I was told “well you’re getting discharged so we can’t change your meds, but if you have any problems you can always come back.” Why would I come back ? I will actually put a bullet through my skull before I come back here. Thank yall for verifying that if your normal presenting mentally ill NO ONE cares about you. To Rachel in psychiatric at kbmc. Please listen to your clients when they say a medication does not work for them, instead of prescribing it anyway! 🫶🏻

My husband was transferred here after he had nervous breakdown at work and the hospital said they felt he could hurt himself so he was pink slipped and ended up coming out of this place so messed up the incident happened in September and he is still trying to get back to normal they should really evaluate some of the other patients they have in there before letting them around each other the conversation that my husband told me occurred once he came home is absolutely ridiculous they weren’t stopped and handled on a 1:1 basis and the so called dr that called me while my husband was there decided to completely disregard that my husband was on meds and just decided that he would be on no meds while there and did not even call his psychiatrist that he was there and when I called his psychiatrist office to reach out they refused to take the call I wouldn’t trust this place to take care of any of your loved ones and if any of your loved ones end up here be prepared for them to come out even more messed up then they have ever been before

Works off you need a referral then they have to look at the referral for 2 or more weeks and determine if they will even take you, not helpful. This was verbatim the staff I just called.
