About Red River Hospital for Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment

I’m impressed at the scope of Red River’s treatment programs. It’s not often you find support for children, teens, and adults all under one roof. They also offer medical detox services, ongoing case management, medication management, recreational therapy, as well as group, individual, and family therapy.

A daily school is provided for children and teens, which involves lessons led by local public school district teachers. They also provide telehealth and mobile assessment programs, which are ideal for those with limited mobility. In general, I think it’s great that this facility has considered these important elements to make treatment as accessible as possible for all age groups and situations.

Unfortunately, some previous clients have had negative experiences, mentioning a lack of professionalism, services being understaffed, and trouble with admissions.

They were supposed to send my medical prescription three days ago. I went in and checked each day, and they didn't send it. I reminded them to send it each day, but it was not sent. Now I have to wait two more days because it's the weekend. This is absolutely unprofessional and dishonest.

Staff treated patients horribly. I passed out and when I came to there was no water on the unit for a hour. Another patient’s blood sugar dropped so low he was unresponsive and we could not find a worker. A nurse even launched an investigation over bruises they left on me from grabbing my arms. Just saw on my paperwork that Dr Harvey Martin described me as “attractive” while I was 16 and he was well into his 60s. I could go on about the horrible creepy staff here. Dont send your loved ones here. My parents regret sending me don’t do it to your kids.

Accepted Insurance

Red River Hospital for Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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 iconOutpatient

After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

inpatient iconInpatient

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 iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs 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. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers 3-4 hours of treatment daily.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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 ~ 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. Their partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers 6 hours of treatment daily.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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 thumbnail image

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 thumbnail image

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

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.
military-program thumbnail image

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.

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.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

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.

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.

This facility was amazing to my son. He went in very bad shape and had to be in there for 41 days and I can say neither him or I had any bad experiences with not one of the staff and I called every other day atleast. I had never been through this type of experience and the front office staff was always very kind to me and helped me calm my fears. I would strongly recommend this facility for your family member.

Do not send your loved ones here, no words can describe how horrible this place is. The hospital should be shut down. Our mental healthcare needs more attention and training. The psychiatrist, nurses and the staff need to be let go, they should not be allowed to work with mental patients or any type of patient care. Do your loved ones a favor and find some where else safer and more experienced to take care of someone you love. I work in healthcare and this facility is very unacceptable. I will not stop here . We were not given a choice to choose this location, please look elsewhere.

Was in here when I was 17. I ran away omw outside the doors and tried to kill myself and staff shoved my past in my face because of it. Was in CPS recently separated from family and they only made it worse. I had nothing and no one whether I did wrong or not, that's not how you treat someone who is obviously manic depressed. 0 stars if I could.

My mother was admitted here 2x for suicide attempts. They did little to nothing to help. She has now succeeded in her attempt as of June 20, 2025 and it's very difficult not to feel anger at the hospitals and doctors that could've done more.

Update: I made this review before taking the effort to become more self aware. Since I've realized that the choice of meds where spot on. However my only negative experience was getting the shot from techs when I had just forgotten to ask for my nightly med, I told them and they still proceeded to give the shot that resulted in a small seizure. I suffered from head trauma at 18 and as a result am epileptic, photosensitive, audio sensitivity, and have difficulty speaking. I've been unknowingly encountering triggers. I've since made an effort to avoid triggers. I wouldn't have been able to figure this out without my mother telling them I had head trauma. I highly suggest having a family member help answer medical history and symptom paperwork. Dr. Mehta is okay I just suggest in person doctors for those with head trauma as we tend to be photosensitive. Original review with one edit: Mal practice. I had one seizure while there, since staying I suffer from chronic constipation and missed cycles due to medications(took 3 months to recover with constant remedies). First time meeting my doctor (drMehta)on video call she was distracted with driving her car and when I read my medical chart I found that it was poorly written. I told Dr Mehta that I had severe side effects to certain medications and said I was refusing meds. Her active listing skills are below average. The staff walk around with their heads down glued to an iPad. There is hardly any technican to patient interactions. It's all ipad to ankle monitor (beacon device). Which is new. I've stayed before it was peaceful but not this time. In my opinion if the new technology was an experiment I'd say it failed.
