The level of care and respect I received in this place leaves much to be desired. They had never treated me like this before, I feel very disappointed by the service I received in this place. Even the receptionist lacks good manners, I recommend the administration to make ch ...

Stabilization, Safety, and Transition
The hospital provides mental and emotional healthcare for adults and specialized inpatient treatment programs for seniors. They have co-occurring mental health and addiction disorder programs working with many types of addiction, including alcohol, opioids, heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines.
The inpatient program offers 24/7 nursing care in a secure and supportive environment. The multidisciplinary inpatient team focuses on stabilization and safety as they work to help you transition to outpatient care as quickly as possible. They provide highly structured outpatient programs like partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).
Clients have reported that the clinical teams were supportive and the staff were professional and caring. Other clients have mentioned their positive outcomes regarding their mental health.
Electroconvulsive Therapy Program
The hospital offers an electroconvulsive therapy program (ECT) for clients with severe psychiatric and mental health disorders. ECT may be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Most clients engage in 10-12 sessions, and though the process only takes a few minutes, you’ll need to leave about two hours for each session.
ECT changes chemicals in the brain and helps reduce symptoms stemming from some mental health disorders, which may be effective for individuals experiencing treatment resistant depression.
Latest Reviews
Would like to thank all the staff who were involved in saving my life. I have suffered from anxiety and depression since 2001. I will be forever grateful for taking care of me in every aspect from 7/29 to 8/5. I met so many amazing people and enjoyed all the activities and Grant’s beautiful music brought tears to my eyes. My 3 recommendations would be to be a little more caring when you push the door every 15 for your rounds. Don’t leave it wide open. My roommate and me got there the same day 7/29 and we never had water in the sink and the shower floor is slippery maybe considering an anti-slip mat would be wonderful. Be happy have a happy life, thank you forever 🙏🌸😘🌺🌷🥰💐

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.
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
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
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 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
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.
ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.
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.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
