About Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center Unity
I like that the environment in this facility is purposely designed to feel caring, compassionate, and safe. If you’re visiting here, you’re going through an acute mental health crisis and you need immediate care that puts you at ease. Rather than making you stick to a generic treatment plan, they’ll talk to you about what you want your recovery journey to look like. Then, they’ll create a schedule that takes your personal choices, needs, and strengths into account.
Some of the services they provide include individual, group, and family counseling, crisis intervention, medication management, and peer support. You’ll also have access to professional nursing care and spiritual support to manage the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
One former client says that this facility exceeded her expectations. She notes that the team members are serious, the care is seamless, and everyone keeps your safety and comfort in mind at all times. Another client said that even in a room full of other people with similar struggles, she felt like her individual needs were met.

A but slow placed but helped me out with recovering from withdrawal from Alc and gave me recourse for help and workers were very professional
Most of the staff here have bad attitudes and I would be surprised if any of them have gone to school before.
Stayed 3 nights in late 2024. Not a good experience. When I first got in, staff was loudly discussing private medical info with another client. Then that client overheard my own private information when about 10 staff members surrounded me and stared at me while they asked me a bunch of questions and unsympathetically asked about trauma. I felt highly uncomfortable, defensive and on edge, and like I was unwanted and not believed. Not very trauma-informed of them. Not a single professional out of the group thought that maybe this was a bad approach? Just surround someone in crisis with 10 strangers and ask them invasive questions about their trauma? No wonder patients attack staff.
I sat in the PES (large room with armchairs) and slept there for 2 nights before getting into the actual hospital. Apparently a lot of people complain about the armchairs, but I thought they were fine honestly, they were pretty comfy in my opinion. Im not asking for a spa, just decency.
Once in the actual hospital, there were no activities or therapy (no group, no individual). You just sit and color. No one talked to me in-depth about any of my isseus.
The rooms are good, private toilet and shower. You get a room-mate. Food is ok.
They either stole or lost my necklace- a necklace that I had bought and wore everyday soley for having something consistent in my life, because I was going through so much, I needed something to hold on to and center myself with. Dont trust them with your possessions. I remember dropping my necklace into the "safe" plastic bag. Where is it now? Around a staff members neck?
Most importantly, they broke HIPPA (again). I am an adult. They told my sister over the phone extremely private and sensitive information, including diagnoses and medication, suicidality, and traumatic events. I am SO glad I didnt give them my parents contact info. That is SO violating, dangerous for abuse situations, and just not ok at all!! I am SO angry!!! I cant trust any hospital now!! Now I will never be able to talk openly to psych staff again, I'll be too busy protecting myself from being violated again. These things affect people!! It affects their entire chance of recovery! It affects their future experiences and trust and ability to reach out for help ever again! I will never be able to speak to psych staff about my trauma, now. I refuse. Its not worth the risk, the trust is dead. Ive been violated enough. I worked in psych care and inpatient programs myself. How hard is it to not breach HIPPA?? Do they not understand how vitally, life savingly important that is? Gossiping about my worst trauma, diagnosis, meds over the phone to anyone who asks. I am disgusted. I would never, Ever do that to a client. Do better. This is unacceptable and so wrong.
Since I wasnt interested in coloring 24/7, I asked to leave after my third night. They again called my sister and asked HER for permission to keep me an extra 72 hrs for "observation". When my sister asked what their goal was in doing so, they had no plan or treatment or desired end goal and told her "Wow youve really thought about this huh?" Shouldnt They be thinking about the reasons why they would decide to involuntarily force someone to stay and thus likely traumatize them? Do they think? At all?
They also diagnosed me with a stigmatized disorder after only 30 mins of talking to me while I was in crisis. The IOP that they, the hospital, referred me to then refused to let me join the IOP for that same stigmatized diagnosis, and openly told me that was why, which is medical discrimination.
I left Unity and attempted suicide 2 days later.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
