Counselors tend to be a bit harsh and too strict with the program, but everything they do is for the good of the people.
About Region 8 Mental Health Services
Region 8 provides two levels of care: inpatient residential and intensive outpatient (IOP). The residential program serves men and women but houses them in gender specific lodging during the program.
Clients who are accepted into the residential program live in a large, home like setting for the duration of the program, which varies based on need. The staff works with each client to develop a care plan highlighting a structured daily treatment schedule focused on their needs. Individual, group, and family therapy are at the core of Region 8’s program.
Other daily activities include educational programs, vocational rehabilitation and training, exercise, and social events. Programs are designed to encourage client interaction so that they can support one another as they progress through the program. In addition, residents are monitored throughout their stay to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.
Clients who don’t have severe symptoms may be referred to the IOP program. During treatment, they will visit the facility to meet with their team for a few hours daily on regularly scheduled days. They still receive the same forms of treatment as the residential program, but they do not live on campus.
IOP is broken into three phases. The first is focused on addiction education and showing clients how their addiction has harmed them and those around them. Phase two is an eight week curriculum exploring relapse prevention strategies and methods. During phase three, staff collaborates with their team to design a two year aftercare program.
For inpatient and outpatient programs, aftercare includes continuing therapy sessions on an outpatient basis. Aftercare planning will connect clients to community resources supportive of recovery, like 12 step meetings.

Would give zero stars if I could was involuntarily commited by narcissistic family members whos only goal was to force me to be medicated for my social anxiety after i told them numerous times i did not want to be medicated. They committed me with "depression" because they knew i had previous depression issues in the past and committing me with social anxiety would not do the trick. I came in with social anxiety and left with only trauma I told them multiple times I was not depressed had to stay the two weeks and was forced to be on medication until I could leave I remember the head of this place telling lies about how I stayed in my room for a whole week when it was only a weekend I know this because well i was the one who experienced it and he wasnt. he also said I was depressed because I sobbed the whole entire first day (I was simply just traumatized) they think if you cry you are depressed and that is just ridiculous it was absolutely disgusting because even when they knew I was fine they had to come up with lies to justify keeping me there. I am traumatized, disgusted, and angry. Being kept in a room with other people with social anxiety for two weeks and forced on medication I didnt want and even after I cant escape that place as they forced me to do extra activities I have to do for MONTHS with people on they're team that I do not need or else i would have had to stay longer. I want my life back honestly but this place is literally all it is now. I now have to go to therapy every two weeks for god knows how long just to talk about dealing with social anxiety. I just want my life back before this place. 0/5 stars would never go back nor recommend.
It made me feel so alone and helpless that they wouldn't listen or believe me and believed my abusers over me. I was doing fine before but at the hands of my narcissistic family and the workers who dont know me or my life I now have to live with this once again, traumatizing, disgusting and angering experience.
I can understand if I had to be there a few days, but they made me stay for 3 weeks for no good reason and didn't even give me any medication my first week. On the second week they gave me pills, and at the end of that week they gave me a shot. Then they told me I have to stay a week after the shot to see how I do on it. They should have just started me with the shot on the first day and let me go at the end of the week but they delayed everything because they make more money the longer patients stay there.
There was not enough food to eat the first week. They gave us maybe 1000 calories each per day during the first week. Food was increased but still not enough the second and third week. I lost 25lb in 3 weeks by the time I left due to this.
I didn't see a therapist the first week either, but the second and third week I saw one almost every day it seemed like. They didn't do much beyond go down a list of questions. It was weird how they had me talking to a different therapist every time. I don't think the therapists helped anything. They started to feel more like interrogations than trying to help me.
Could not breathe in the bedrooms. There are no vents in their small bedrooms. I had to leave the door cracked when sleeping to let some air in but then I can hear the guards watching TV outside the room. I asked them to turn it down every night. Slept poorly obviously. Mostly waited there in bed every night.
The facility was either very hot or very cold. It was rarely a good temperature. Complaining about it helps nothing and nobody seems to be able to touch the thermostat.
I got very dizzy, my heart raced and I felt like I was going to pass out after I drank some of their juice.
The technician who supervises shower time wouldn't let anyone take more than a 5 minute shower. He started banging on the door and yelling anytime someone took too long. He went in the shower to turn it off one time while someone was using it.
There was a TV in the common area at least but it was so high it was almost touching the ceiling. The seating was only a few feet away from it so you have to look straight up to see it and your neck hurts pretty soon. Uncomfortable seating too, very little back rest on the chairs and couch.
I got hayfever the last few days I was in there and they told me I'm not allowed to go to sleep during the day to recover from it. I had to sit in the common area instead blowing my nose with toilet paper all day.
After I was let out, I paid $75 to see a nurse to get my shot but instead they walked me back to a therapist. I told them I came to see a nurse and they wouldn't let me see her without seeing a therapist first. I left and they wouldn't refund me when I called and went to their office repeatedly. They used delay tactics at first having me call back later every week. I asked if my account has a balance and eventually they told me I have a "false credit" and they can't give me the balance I'm owed.
Would give zeror stars. You will be tossed around therapists like a hot potatoe so you wont ever get actual therapeutic help. Also NP Natalie Moody is a terrible nurse she has no idea what shes talking about when it comes to medicine. She does not listen to her patients and is hostile, she should be terminated. Region 8 is s mental health and addiction facility yet they provide terrible services. You will leave more hopeless and more depressed. There must be some sort of disconnect between the therapists and doctors. If you can afford it/insurance can pay for it, find a Psychiatrists office...then you will get help. NP MOODY SHOULD BE FIRED!!

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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).
Inpatient rehab provides a highly supportive and structured environment for clients in early recovery and for those who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients remain at the treatment center for the duration of their programs, though some inpatient rehabs offer supervised group excursions. Clients engage in intensive individual, group, and or family counseling. They may also receive recovery-focused life skills training to support their sustained sobriety and community reintegration. Many programs offer holistic therapies, such as meditation.
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.
For those seeking help with addiction, a drug rehab in Mississippi offers the necessary care to achieve long-term recovery. Options include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and long-term drug rehab in Mississippi.
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.
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.
In Mississippi, substance abuse treatment is available in inpatient and outpatient rehabs. These facilities can treat a range of substance use disorders and even co-occurring mental health challenges, in dual-diagnosis treatment programs. These programs involve an assessment with an addiction expert, personalized treatment plan, and evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). By addressing the underlying issues contributing to addiction, you'll leave treatment with the skills to sustain your recovery.
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.
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.
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's 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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
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.
