Excellent service and experience
My mom was in the emergency room for days waiting for a bed. During this time my family who take turns staying in room with her have witnessed and overheard many things that I feel need to be mentioned. I went into the hallway to get some help for my mom who soiled her diaper and let them know she looked really uncomfortable. I was told Hazil was her aid and that "she is busy at the moment." I had faith that my mom would be tended to. I left to get lunch and pick up my kids from school. Two hours later I returned to find mom in tears in the same soiled diaper which I marked with a marker before I left to keep track. I took it upon my self to change my moms diaper which I wish I did from the start. Moms skin was dark red from the sting of urine and waste. I heard a woman yelling outside the room complaining about new people "taking her job" and how much she hates the company and that she "wants to leave." I asked the nurses who she was, hoping that she was not involved in my mom's care and was told she was the elusive aid Hazil and that "she's just having a bad day, try to be understanding." I said no, I am here for my mom and I want her removed from my moms care. I cannot lie the other nurses and doctors were pretty decent to us but they could have done more and stepped in to help her! I can say without a doubt no one in our immediate family will ever return to concord hospital because of the way our mom was treated.
Just terrible. If you have questions or want clarification, you get some nurses upset at you. None of the hospitalists are on the same page half the time. Some of the nurses are great, bit the ones that aren't make the whole experience bad.
The food is so gross it's practically inedible. I asked for anti nausea medication so I wouldn't throw up from it, didn't get it until an hour and a half later, after I'd thrown up.
The bed they gave me upstairs smells like old urine too, so that's super gross to have to sleep on.
Issues with medications, they had me get my insulin from home, and they aren't refrigerating it. They also told me they'd order my specialty medication so I didn't have to keep using my home supply since I'm low and can't get to a pharmacy...bit they didn't, they're using mine.
Also had to wait 5 and a half days to get a shower.
Patient advocate told me it's being "worked on management at the hospital" Not one thing has changed.
I wish I'd never come here. Stay far away if you can.
Update:
I had a bad reaction to a steroid nebulizer, it gave me bronchiospasms which is a severe reaction. I asked to not be on it, they still tried to give it to me several times.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
