Mount Carmel Behavioral Health

About Mount Carmel Behavioral Health

Located in Columbus, Ohio, Mount Carmel Behavioral Health can help you with addiction services and mental health treatment as well. They offer both acute inpatient care and intensive outpatient care, as well as treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Intensive Inpatient and Outpatient Addiction Treatment

When it comes to their inpatient care, you can get help around the clock in a safe environment and even get medical detox if needed. They’re very structured and they offer therapy and different activities to keep things interesting. You’ll be monitored 24/7 to make sure that you’re safe and healthy during the initial stages of your recovery.

During your inpatient time you can also enjoy their gym and the beautiful outdoor courtyard for some relaxation and fresh air.

Once you are stable and prepared for further treatment, they can move you to an outpatient center where you can return home after sessions. Their intensive outpatient program includes three hours of therapy per day, which is 3 to 5 days a week. Again, this is structured and they provide education on addiction recovery too. They’ll be focusing on life skills, relapse prevention, and coping strategies to help you be your best self.

Mental Health Care in Southwest Columbus

If you struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, their co-occurring disorders program can help you with that. They integrate different therapies for addiction and mental health, such as individual therapy and group therapy, to help you focus on both issues simultaneously.

They also offer medication management and psychiatric support. I like that they use holistic treatment to reduce the chances of relapse and focus on the full scope of your health. Finally, you can get aftercare planning as well once you finish the treatment and want to still have accountability afterward.

This place is horrific! They withhold your meds. The nurses at the desk ignore you behind the glass when you have questions or a request. They put ankle monitors on your wrist as soon as you get there. This makes you feel like an inmate. A staff member named Kayla was going up and down the hall late at night banging on our doors calling us inmates. They only let us watch the BET channel. One girl had seizures and needed her meds. They denied her her meds for 48 hrs. She was in tears! I was supposed to only be held for 72 hrs. I was held against my will for a week! They said it was because I needed a shot. They made sure it was exactly a week because thats what my insurance covered. One girl they let freak out screaming and baracading herself in the room with the phone where I was at the time. They were laughing watching her freak out. Then she passed out in the hallway and they left her asleep on the floor between her room and the hallway. When asked why? Kayla said because she was comfortable there. Kayla wasn't wearing her badge where we could see her name. When I asked her her name she said I didn't need to know it. So I got her name from a janitor. This was by far the worse experience ive ever had! I would like to personally speak with the Ceo about my experience. I have names and numbers of others who were in there as well that could confirm my experience. WE HAVE A VOICE!! Its terrible we got treated like inmates or animals. These staff members should be fired for how we were treated! This place has left me scarred for life! I came out worse than when I went in!

It breaks my heart to read all of these negative reviews, as the administration of this facility either does not personally read them or does not care to rectify the negative conditions that multiple people have here shared. My daughter is currently being held at this facility, and without her being able to read any of these comments, she described her experiences at this place to me, and they are very consistent with what others here have posted. As someone from the facility does generically and anonymously comment on some of these posts, apparently SOMEONE from the facility is aware of both the posts and the content, so hopefully new CEO Alison Morris is aware as well, as by responding to the posts the facility is showing that they have notice of them... What is the intended therapeutic benefit of treating the patients rudely and unkindly, and allowing staff members to disrespect and even mock them? Apparently this has been going on there for quite some time, but hopefully if anything good comes from my daughter's stay there, it will be that at least some future patients will not be treated this way.

This place is worse than Jackson pike jail. The food is horrible the inmates at Jackson pike eat better meals. They made me take my night time medication in the daytime which is illegal. The elderly woman in my room who was fully wheelchair bound asked for help to shower and the nurses refused to shower her. Any time the elderly lady needed the nurses the nurses would roll their eyes and take forever to come to her and had the lady screaming for 10-15 minutes at 3am for help and they refused to help. They would come in and tell her she’s tripping. The tried to steal another I don’t know if I should call is patients or inmates at this point but they let her smoke for 4 days straight then tried to take her smoking time away. I was in the 300 units and the 100 and 200 units are worse than the 300 and 400 units. One of the patients in the 200 unit started going off on the nurses because he said they were making fun of him and not there to help him. You can never get a hold of the doctors or social worker to get out. Another lady voluntarily signed herself in for help then after 4 days she wanted to sign herself back out because she felt like she wasn’t getting the proper help. They do not count weekends or holidays as a day that you were there which makes no sense because they do in actual jail. Whoever is running this business needs to take a business course or find a mentor in the medical business because this place is not it. I have so much more to complain about because I can’t put that many days and hours here on this review or it would be about 50 pages long. I want to personally speak with the CEO, the head director and all the head leaders about this place maybe they should all stay here for a week and come back after that week and leave your own review.

Accepted Insurance

Mount Carmel Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

UnitedHealth Group

Blue Cross Blue Shield

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

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 rehabs offer robust wraparound care for clients who are stepping down from intensive inpatient care, with many facilities providing multiple levels of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient programming. Clients may also elect to enroll in outpatient care immediately after completing inpatient detox. Those who are at lower risk of withdrawal complications may also choose to receive ambulatory medical detox from an outpatient facility. Outpatient programs typically involve addiction counseling, recovery education, and/or medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as art and music therapy, are commonly available.

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 for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

12-Step

Many treatment centers base their recovery models on the 12 step programming standard, which combines intensive peer support with spiritual, psychological, and emotional growth. Participants in 12 step recovery programs are expected to regularly attend group meetings, which are free, anonymous, peer-led, and open to the public. They are also required to select a sponsor to guide them through the recovery journey. These programs deploy spiritual principles to foster participants' self-understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.

Sober Living Homes

A sober living home in Ohio is often recommended for those completing a drug rehab program. When you leave the structured setting of rehab, returning home can trigger relapse due to the abrupt change in environment. Men's and women's sober living homes act as transitional spaces to continue developing tools for recovery before fully re-entering society. It gives you time to adjust to the demands of life, in a setting that is free from substances.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During initial recovery, withdrawal from alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines can involve high health risk. Attempting detox outside of 24-hour clinical care in Ohio is not recommended. This can be life-threatening because medical staff are not available to treat severe symptoms of withdrawal that often occur. Such symptoms can include seizures, delirium tremens, and extreme dehydration. In a clinical setting, staff are on-site to immediately care for your physical, emotional, and mental health needs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves clearing your body of drugs and/or alcohol under the 24/7 care of licensed medical professionals. If you've become dependent on alcohol or drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids), quitting abruptly can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects. The purpose of medically assisted detox is to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible during this process. Medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol may be provided if necessary to mitigate any withdrawal symptoms.

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.

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.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

The main goals of dialectical behavior therapy are to teach you how to regulate your emotions, develop positive ways to cope with stress, improve your relationships, and live in the moment. This therapy lasts about six months and involves weekly individual and group sessions.

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.

Some couples therapy in Ohio is designed as short term treatment to address a specific problem in the relationship, such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. Other couples therapy may focus on general strengthening of the relationship by improving interactions.

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.

Life skills provide stability. They increase the strengths that you bring to recovery by equipping you with the tools you need to navigate daily life. During rehab, you'll develop these strengths through life skills training that focuses on both cognitive and behavioral abilities.

Don't go for the help because they will not give it to you based on your problems but based on what they Think is your problem and feed you drugs that will harm you. I speak from knowledge, as I went by choice and the drugs given were toxic given my health issues..so see you in court Mt Carmel! Promise!

I attended their outpatient I.o.p program from September to December and the staff was great….even though they their to treat you and do bussiness they made sure to lighten things up as well. Staff would work with your need as well and truely cared and knew when to back off. I been to other mental health facilities and didn’t feel like they care much! At mount Carmel in lest the outpatient program you can tell they truly do care.

We’re so thankful for your feedback! We work hard to maintain a welcoming place of refuge for our community.

Communication is HORRIBLE. I left over 20 messages to the social workers, the nurses, my son. NOTHING. I ended up leaving work at noon to go to the facility and do a "sit in" in the lobby until I was able to talk to those people who do not answer the phones or return messages. This is my son's second stay there. NEVER AGAIN. Additionally, I was told they were doing a lithium test, yet I never received results and when I called after he was discharged the nurse could find no record of a lithium level test being done. My son is now in a 30 day residential program in Pennsylvania. I can only PRAY that this facility actually provides care and communication. If I could leave a 0 star, I would.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We understand the importance of what has been shared and would be grateful to have an opportunity to gather more details. If you would be willing to speak with us directly, please contact us at info@mountcarmelbh.com. Thank you.

My mother had a stroke. The doctors and the ICU unit was superb. They were very attentive very kind and patient with all the family members coming to visit. I personally want to thank you for all the love and professionalism you provided. The doctor were able to get the clot out before it hemorrhaged . We are very thankful for that. Just a great wonderful place. Thank you Soo much.

This is like being in jail. Food is terrible and the staff are really rude and just ignore any requests you make. There is nothing for the clients to do. Just not a good place to be.
