I had never been to a treatment center before & have nothing too compare Magnolia Creek too. As far as my treatment went for my Ed I would recommend Magnolia Creek. Yes, there were some kinks in the program but I don’t think there is a facility that is going to be flawless ...

Going to treatment for the first time was probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make. I wouldn’t change that choice for the world. Although I wasn’t sure it was where I needed to be, it was exactly where I needed to be and I am so grateful for the opportunity to recover there. The skills I learned there will help carry me through my recovery and I feel prepared to do so. After leaving, I feel so much more like myself! It was amazing to be able to find myself again at Magnolia Creek! I never thought there would be anything I would miss there after my first couple of days, but I stuck it out and trusted the process and left having met some of my favorite people. The connections and experiences I had there are priceless! The staff is great as well. Sometimes it may feel like you’re alone, but the staff truly cares so much about you, your recovery, and your aftercare. They truly do know what they are doing and have a plan, so trust it! Magnolia Creek taught me so many valuable skills and brought me so many connections. I 100% recommend MC!
I don’t really recommend if you have ptsd from mental hospitals, therapy played a huge part in my childhood trauma and it felt like hell to be here. I couldn’t stop having mental breakdowns because everyone just looked like danger except for a small amount of people.
I would not recommend anyone coming here. I went there for ARFID. They didn’t help my eating at all. Instead of encouraging me to try new foods, they forced me to eat what they had. And if I didn’t eat, I would have to drink this God awful drink. For the three days I was there that was pretty much all I consumed. And I only stayed three days because I hated it there so much. I was 19 when I went. And I missed my mom so so much but they refused to let me have any contact with her for the first two weeks of being there. It wasn’t until I pretty much had a meltdown and begged that they let me call my mom. The atmosphere is very uncomfortable and a lot of the things that are forced, are things that I did not sign up for nor did I know that these things were going to happen. When I first arrived, they gave me some sort of shot. They never told me what it was nor did they make me or my mother aware that They were going to give me any shots. When going to the bathroom, you can’t just go whenever you want. They have special times for you to go to the bathroom, and you have to leave the door cracked open so that they can watch you as you do your thing which is very humiliating. Majority of the girls that I was with said that they had been there for a long while or that that was their second or third time being there. Which should tell you that no one is getting better. And the pictures of the food that they show on their website, Completely false. They pretty much served cafeteria food. Soggy chicken nuggets, cold french fries. The staff there wasn’t necessarily mean, but they also weren’t very friendly. And once you get there, you’re supposed to be assigned a therapist, I never saw mine, nor did I ever see my nutritionist which you were also supposed to be assigned when you get there. They take you out to eat every Thursday, And when they do, they take away your forks and knives. I understand for certain people, because some of the girls there weren’t very stable mentally. But I just thought it was humiliating for me. To have my fork and knife taken away from me in front of my waitress like I was some chick in a psych ward who was gonna stab someone. And I don’t think that any of them actually knew how to treat ARFID. All the staff treated me like I had Anorexia. Which was not the case. ARFID Is simply the dislike, or fear of food. It has nothing to do with body Image. Also, all of the money that my mom was sending there to help me and my needs were being used to buy LGBTQ+ decorations for the house. No judgment, but if they want to decorate the house with that stuff, they can use their own money. My money was not sent over to help with decorations that don’t even align with my family’s beliefs, (again, not that I have to explain myself to anyone, but this is not to judge or condemn anyone, you do you boo) it was to help me get food or necessities. So a lot of the things that I was paying for, didn’t go towards anything that was agreed upon in the contract that we signed. Don’t waste your money

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.
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
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients in early recovery and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients in IOP attend outpatient therapy sessions for a minimum of nine hours per week but clients may receive as many as 20 hours of IOP treatment weekly. Sessions generally occur in 3-5 hour blocks, in which time clients engage in some combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), psychotherapy, recovery skills training, or complementary care.
Intervention Services
A drug intervention in Alabama is an organized attempt to convince someone they have a substance use issue and that they need treatment. During an intervention, loved ones share their concerns about the person's substance use and encourage them to get help. A professional can provide guidance and support for this effort through intervention services, to help participants avoid missteps and increase the success of the intervention.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
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.
Clinical Services
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Alabama is to lessen the symptoms of certain mental health conditions, including substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. It is known as one of the most effective means of treatment for these conditions.
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.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
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.
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingResearch 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.
Proper nutrition increases comfort levels during detox and supports healing during drug rehab in Alabama. Nutrition therapy provides this crucial, balanced nourishment and helps you develop skills for long term health throughout recovery.
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.
