About Shawnee Mental Health Center – Portsmouth

Shawnee Mental Health Center has a network throughout Ohio. They have a center in Portsmouth, by the Scioto River. They have plenty of outpatient programs for adults and children, including behavioral health services. They’re accredited by CARF and services are available in Spanish if need be. They’ve been around since 1973.

Adjacent Hopesource Provides Clinical Care Services

I find it good to know that they provide addiction treatment services through Hopesource, a clinic adjacent to Shawnee. They provide residential services and intensive outpatient services in close collaboration with Shawnee. They collaborate with Shawnee to provide comprehensive care for you, including medication assisted treatment via Suboxone and Vivitrol.

There’s also the Scioto homeless shelter that’s in the same neighborhood as the center. If you need assistance there, they can offer to coordinate your care. They can also help sign you up for Medicaid if you qualify and provide additional social services. The Scioto County Job & Family Services is just a little ways away as well.

Getting Kids on the Right Start

Shawnee offers a school program for youngsters who have trouble learning and coping with pressures associated with growing up. They offer crisis interventions, case management, and clinical care for kids who may be at risk of turning to drugs or other self-harm means. If symptoms or conditions are acute, they may refer your children to specialists.

If you want to relax between treatment, Tracy Park and the Portsmouth Colosseum aren’t far away. Take up a new interest in recreational therapy or sports as healthy ways of coping. You’ll reconnect with your community and be healthier in mind and body.

Accepted Insurance

Shawnee Mental Health Center – Portsmouth 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

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.

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.

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.

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 iconOutpatient

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I caution clients to withhold any personal information. I made the mistake of disclosing personal nightmares and troubling thoughts to one of the counselors here whom happened to be a neighbor of mine at one time. She took what I told Her, ignored HIPPA laws, and spread My most intimate issues in the neighborhood (and who knows where else) like warm butter on hot toast. You have other options in Scioto County. I suggest You use them.

I was a patient at Shawnee Family Health sense around 2016. Most of the doctors I've had contact with here have been very good and seem to listen to my concerns. They seem to be genuine and open with their communication with me and their expectations (with the exception of one person who, without warning, neglected to refill a medication that worked well for me, went on vacation for the holidays and never responded any of my attempts to contact her). Getting refills of medications sent to my pharmacy is a CONSTANT struggle. The case managers staffed here seem to be HIGHLY unreliable. Leaving voicemails with the nursing staff seem to be disregarded on a regular basis. It's disappointing that I have to look for another doctor because of an unreliable staff. If I were to rate the doctors separately, I'd probably rate them a 4. If I were to rate the staff alone, they'd be rated a 1.The unreliability of the staff outweighs how well the doctors do simply because it doesn't seem that any of my questions or concerns presented to case managers, nurses or other staff isn't being relayed to the doctors a majority of the time and that makes it look like the doctors are unreliable as well (which I don't think is the case). There are also times that I've had an appointment with one doctor and when I went to the appointment, I was told that the doctor was overbooked and that my appointment would be with someone else, and that doctor told me she'd send my prescriptions to my pharmacy. She did not do that and went on vacation for a couple weeks. Nobody else there seemed willing to pass on my concerns to anyone that might be able to help me. I was without my medicine for over a month because of her. Her name is Cindy... Beware... Enter at your own risk.
