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.

I was in unit 6.
The staff I had for intake were nice. I forgot their names, but 10/10 to them.
The activities never force you to go, it's always a choice, and you have your own bathroom and shower.
There was a staff member who at some point, decided it would be a great idea to tell me, a minor, and importantly a mentally ill one, about how someone decided to commit in the most vile way possible! And it wasnt just "they did that" it was THE ENTIRE. STORY. I did NOT need that. Made my issues worse, still have them because of it <3
If you break a rule they will lecture you about it. One simple thing and you will have 5 staff in your room trying to tell you you are in the wrong in everything you say, when you BREATHE, you get absolutely beaten down mentally. Ironic because this place is supposed to help?
If you make a friend they will tell you that it is just temporary, and you need to focus on your mental health, not friends. The only thing in there that helped me at all was yapping to staff, my OWN movie nights watching the sky and stuff, and HAVING friends. (Meanwhile there were 2 couples in the unit, and they lectured me for a friend 😃) All of that is MY choice, not listed in the description. Sure, you have occasional actual therapy but they just try to convince you you arent ill. Lecturing us is NOT going to make us better. For a sensitive kid like me, it made it 10x worse.
If you are trying to send your kid anywhere, dont let it be here PLEASE.
This is especially if they are HIGHLY ill and have hurt themselves. Unity will NOT stop them. If they find a way, theyll use it. Coming from someone who did it undetected.
Another thing -- THE QR. The qr, or the quiet room, is a literal padded white room, with a torn mattress. You ask the staff if you can punch it? No problem, they didnt notice when I came out with my entire hand covered in blood. And my room was all the way down a large hall, how could they have NOT. During that, there were also two staff who watched me during my time in the room.
I might remember more soon, I have horrid memory.
A dr. gave me a med w/o looking at my history, or my meds, January of 2024 and I've been hospitalized and in a residential care facility for the past year suffering the rare side effects.
I thought my life was hell before, now it's worse and I'm continuing to see doctors to figure out what to do, because now, thanks to them overdosing me, I now have more diagnoses that I've had to add to my list.
The name of that place just triggers my ptsd!
We brought in a loved one who was experiencing catatonia after an earlier psychotic episode. The staff repeated demonstrated their expertise and caring. They were also tremendous communicators. This was our loved one’s third hospitalization, but the first time at Unity. I feel very blessed we found this place, as they took tremendous care of our loved one, and after two weeks, our loved one made tremendous strides. Thank you!

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.
