A Safe Place for Geriatric Treatment
The Senior Life program here provides a safe space for healing, protection from self-harm, and mental health treatment to seniors in need. This is a safe space for families too and they encourage a circle of family support for the patient and all members of the family or caregivers.
As we get older, life changes and there are unique and difficult stressors that can affect our mental health. Add the stresses of a mental health condition such as a mood or personality disorder, dementia, depressive or anxiety disorders or psychosis and it can become overwhelming. Geriatric psychiatric specialists and mental health support staff help you and your loved ones navigate all of these things with counselling, medication management, speech, occupational and physical therapy and holistic care for body and mind.
Substance Abuse Treatment for Seniors
Often people use substances to self medicate and they develop an addiction. Treatment is offered here for those who are struggling with co existing addictions and mental health concerns.
This program is exclusively for people over age 55. Treatment for anyone under the age of 55 is now done through referral to Lackey Memorial Hospital’s Behavioral Health Program in Philadelphia or Weems LifeCare in Meridian.
Most health insurance plans are accepted, but if you don’t have insurance there are options available, from self pay to financial assistance grants.

The receptionist was very racist and Rude.My husband went into the ER. He doesn t speak English, I was on the phone to translate for him. And she didn t let me speak, all I hear was No, no turn off the phone you need to come with someone who speaks English Once I hear that, I call directly and she pretended she couldn t hear me I kept calling back and she didn t answer anymore.My husband is out of state working we leave in Idaho and never in my life I had seen such a disgusting radiant behavior at a hospital.He then went to ochsner laird hospitalAbout 20 min from there and the receptionist lady was very friendly Nice she allowed me to translate and told me he was gonna have a translator. I had to thank her and explained what had happened at the other hospital.She even said that was horrible.
Although it had been a while since my last visit to the ER in neshoba general, The service is still excellent. I didn't have to wait too long to be admitted into a private area for treatment. Do you attending nurse was very informative and knowledgeable about his duties and although I expressed irritation at waiting for a length of time for treatment, he explained that there were problems with the x-ray equipment and offered some medication for pain relief which I was very grateful for. There were no unnecessary test or lab work given and everyone who worked there from the security to the medical staff were very polite, courteous, and helpful in every areas of the questions I asked. Thank you to everyone who works there and hope everyone else gets treated the way I did!
Husband and I were at the hospital to have ct and labs done. When I was finished I went to our planned meeting place to wait for him to finish his. While I was waiting, my service dog alerted me. A receptionist saw the situation and did the code ..I can recall bits and pieces of the situation. A herd ( I do mean a lot!) of personnel were there to help. Next thing I remember I was in ER , in a bay , all monitors on me, WITH my service dog beside me . NO ONE threatened to take my service dog .( She is a trained service dog, not a pet trying to pass as a SD!) I have been challenged about her being with me at other close by hospitals, (other hospitals need to be trained on ADA.)The ER staff did a great job taking care of me , Knowledgeable, professional, and COURTEOUS . NO unnecessary tests e.g. labs just done earlier.!! ( we ALL know THAT story). When necessary in the future we will be using Neshoba General. They are a great service to your community!

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.
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.
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.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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.
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.
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.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
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.
