About Specialized Therapy Associates

They have a program devoted to addiction and codependency for adults 18 and older. There are specific programs for mental health issues that often accompany addiction, like services for anxiety and depression. They also offer gender specific therapy groups so guests can focus on healing without distractions.

Individual therapy sessions allow one on one time with a professional who can help you uncover the root causes of your addiction issues. You may work on developing healthier coping skills, recognizing substance use triggers and learning relapse prevention methods for the future.

Group therapy provides time with others who may share similar experiences and offer feedback for your sobriety journey. It can also reduce feelings of isolation that frequently come with addiction.

There are holistic activities and workshops that address the mental, physical and emotional aspects of addiction and healing. These services give you comprehensive care to help you achieve a sober lifestyle.

Specialized Therapy Associates accepts most commercial insurance plans. They will also provide an insurance verification at no cost to you. The goal is to have a treatment team in one location that can get you on the road to recovery and address the unique needs you may have to help you become a productive member of your community.

I do not recommend this place. The front desk staff are unprofessional, and if you encounter any issues, they are likely to make the situation worse rather than resolve it or provide assistance.

This facility was on a referral sheet provided to me by my PCP. I called and was met with a girl who mumbled something into the phone while music played in the background. I said “sorry? Is this Specialized Therapy Associates? I am calling because I was referred by my primary.” She replied “yeah. What you want?” When I paused for a second because I was stunned by the rudeness, she hung up on me. I will not even be calling back, as that experience and the other reviews here have shown me that this facility is rude and abusive to their patients.

I worked with Shanice Burgos for a year and she was phenomenal. She helped me find the right tools to help me better handle my anxiety and stress. She was super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I was nervous going back to therapy but really glad it was a positive experience!

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Specialized Therapy Associates works with several private insurance providers, 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.

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.

Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.

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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

Horrible service, communication and therapists. You will need therapy after dealing with their unprofessional team. I had to report them to the state, it was that bad. 0 stars.
