The night shift (Laurence, Paplo and others got it down packed) does a way better job treating you right. Like a patient and person and not in a huddle like 1st.shift Looking at the call lights off just standing around looking. Judith and Sandra(1stshift) be 🏃‍♂️ around doing their job and Emma is aways one call away (some of the RNs and techshave to do better .ans they might get it right )but all and all this visit has been a journey. The dietary department is great food always on time and hot. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB YOU GUYS I ❤️ this hospital but as I said each floor is different

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

Levels of Care

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.

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.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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

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.

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.

I went in for double hernia correction surgery and the staff was so kind and compassionate. It went smoothly and everything was described to me from start to finish before the procedure. Dr. Admire and his team was beyond excellent! Afterwards the recovery team, Bryanna S and Gilbert S, made sure I was comfortable before I left. I was given clear cut and precise instructions and cared for in a way beyond my expectations. Really impressed with this hospital and the team that cared for me!

As usual the staff is very professional and treats you like.a.humanbein. The techs BIANCA, NATALIE, TERRA CHRIS IAN AND ENNICE are always on time. Even checking on you when they dont have to. CHRISTIE, MATTHEW, ASHLEY, JUSTIN ,KERA , JUDITH are awesome sauce, as well as RICK, SUSIE, LIEZEL, MELODY,PABLO AND I cant remember the other rn name but he was awesome 👏🏽 as well. DIETARY. (DANIELLE, NANCY, MARCUS AND CHRIS) hadles their business if they dont.they will get it right. My issue is with the Dr. Patient care and pain management.. I fell i mean I fell hard and I was in a lot of pain to the part I can barely walk. Not to mention the surgery I already am.dealing with and they are not managing my pain l am receiving my meds 12 hrs apart that is not management. I asked the dr about it he said he was going to give me.iv management to work faster and gave me lidocaine patches THAT DO NOT WORK AT ALL .SO IM.JUST IN PAIN BASICALLY. How can you be in the hospital dealing with pain and leaving with more.pain? The ER department was very unprofessional and rude to the point i almost gave up and left but my health comes.first. Other than that. I love this hospital and staff especially the Neuro Science Guys keep up the good work 👏🏽 🙌🏽 🎊💕💯

After being in the hospital and ARU for a month, Rachael and Ilene got me up and walking again after my brain tumor was removed. They are the best therapist in the whole hospital if you ask me and they deserve a raise. The day time staff are excellent and very helpful. The night time staff are not as good and they lie.

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, Rex. We take this matter very seriously and would like to learn more. Please email patientexperience@tenethealth.com to share your contact information.
