Called for information and to hopefully set up an appointment. They just started redirecting me and eventually hung up on me. Sad that this is a place that is supposed to help people.
About Rmc Behavioral Health
Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center is a leading integrated care provider across five counties in northeast Alabama. The RMC campus located on East 10th Street in Anniston, serves as their main campus. They serve more than 100,000 people annually covering residents of Anniston, Oxford and Jacksonville. You can begin your recovery journey from this campus. They offer medically supervised inpatient detoxification as part of their broader behavioral health care.
Medical Detox Program
This program will be suitable if you’re dealing with severe substance use disorders. Detox is typically the first toward recovery in such situations. The procedure rids the body of toxins accumulated from prolonged drug or alcohol use. The medically monitored detox program at the RMC campus takes place in a highly structured and therapeutic environment. You’ll first undergo a comprehensive assessment and then work with the care team to develop a personalized care plan. During the main procedure, you’ll be under the supervision of psychiatrists, physicians and nurses. These experts will monitor your vitals 24/7 to ensure withdrawals proceed smoothly.
Medication and Counseling for Addiction Treatment
They may administer FDA approved meds to help you better manage symptoms. They may also provide supportive counseling and therapy if necessary. The goal is to ensure that your detoxing is safe, comfy and as painless as possible. The procedure may last from 24 hours to a few days. It all depends on your unique condition or tailored care plan. Once you’re stabilized and in good health, the clinical experts may refer you to inpatient or outpatient clinics within the community to continue your recovery.

my daughter was taken into this emergency room following a major vehicle accident.I arrived at the hospital about 30 minutes after she did as I had a 45 minute drive.They gave her nothing for shock, they did not cover her in a blanket to keep her warm, they gave her Toradol which has been discontinued, including the generic, I never once saw the doctor.They did x-rays and CT scans of her head neck chest and abdomen as well as her arm and not once did the doctor come in to reassure us of their findings. Only the nurse came. When my daughter s pain became too excruciating I asked the nurse for pain meds, it took almost 20 minutes and rather than give her an actual pain medication she only gave her the Toradol anti-inflammatory.The hospital staff was rude, unprofessional, and the emergency room itself is very unsanitary. There were biohazard bags full of dirty laundry Lining the hallways.At one point they left a bed with dirty linens sitting in the hallway outside my daughter s room, across from a gentleman who had an open wound where he had just had a large cyst lanced on his face.He was an elderly gentleman and only his wife was with him an hour earlier he had asked them for pain medication, which he never received. Before draining the cyst the nurse gave him lidocaine but did not allow time for the lidocaine to take affect. She hurt him so badly that he had to make her stop after about 10 minutes of draining. I approached them and held the man s hand and instructed him to breathe As a woman does when giving birth. The nurse asked me if I was family, I told her no I m just another nurse I m here with my daughter, to which she responded you have to get out of here you cannot be here. She finally lanced the cyst but did nothing to irrigate the wound and they gave him nothing but Toradol for pain medication.Toradol being a very powerful NSAID, should never be given when there s severe bleeding.I went to the nurses station at one point and asked them to remove all of the soiled linen bags and the linens off of the bed and clean the bed in the hallway.It took about a half an hour before the bed was cleaned and the cleaning lady Flopped the sheets all around spreading germs through the air with no concern for what she was doing.An hour later a young gentleman came to empty the biohazard soiled linen bags but instead of taking them around the corner to the linen room he simply pulled the bag up out of the framing and shook it Down enough to tie it spread spreading germs again all throughout the hallways among the patients.Even upon discharge my daughter was given nothing for pain, she was told to take ibuprofen which cannot be taken within at least 30 hours of a Toradol injection, because it can cause intestinal bleeding and tearing of the upper and lower intestine. I found this hospital staff to be extremely unprofessional, While Hannah my daughter s nurse was friendly enough she was not competent. And we never saw the doctor again before we left the hospital. My daughter saw him when she first arrived long enough for him to order an x-ray and do a quick exam on her. After that we never saw him again. My daughter arrived at the hospital at 8:40 PM I arrived at 9:10 PM and we didn t leave the hospital until 1:30 AM. Upon going to the nurses station all they were doing was standing around talking laughing playing on their phones and chitchatting amongst themselves. One was sitting in a computer looked like she was playing a video game. If I could I would give this hospital rating a zero. And I will be contacting the head of the ER department first thing Monday morning.I literally watched many patients sit there for three and four hours and never see a doctor. It s the most disgraceful display of medical care I have ever witnessed in the state of Alabama
Excellent care and speedy service! My grandson had cut his chin open and needed a few stitches. We were fast tracked and out in under hour and a half! Very caring with him and nice stitch work too!! Thank you ER nurse Jennifer and Ms. Penny, NP!! Jennifer Dreyer
I recently had an unexpected lithotripsy procedure at RMC after being diagnosed with a kidney stone, and I couldn t have asked for better care. From the moment I arrived, everyone went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported. The shuttle driver who saw me struggling, the admissions team, pre-op nurses, anesthesiologists, surgical staff, recovery nurse, and the nurse who wheeled me out to go home all were incredibly attentive and compassionate. I m truly grateful to have such high-quality care right here in Calhoun County.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
12-Step 12 step programs are often considered the standard model for addiction recovery. They're based on the use of spiritual principles to support a gradual psychological, emotional, and spiritual shift to remediate the root causes of one's addiction. Treatment depends primarily on per coaching (sponsorship) and group recovery meetings. Though rooted in spiritual principles, participants do not need to be religious and sessions are non-denominational. Specialized groups, including meetings for seniors, teens, and family members, are often available.
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.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have medical support available around the clock, and 24-hour clinical care in Alabama offers a safe environment in which you can begin your recovery journey. This feature offers constant supervision in situations like medical detox, where a team of professionals are on hand to ensure the withdrawal processs is performed safely and comfortably.
Medically Assisted Detox Medically assisted detox is often the first step of addiction treatment. At the medical detox level of care, you are weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol under the care of licensed medical professionals who constantly monitor your health and treat any potential withdrawal symptoms, sometimes with the aid of medication (like Suboxone or Vivitrol).
Treatments
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
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.
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 helps you process and heal from traumatic events. Your therapist provides a safe space for you to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and integrate the traumatic experience into a more coherent narrative. This helps to promote long term mental health.
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.
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.
