If you're looking to find a new way of life, The Healing Place will provide. Peer driven community focused on behavior modification. The program sets you up for success, long-term. It saved my life!
Looks like this wasn’t the answer to my son’s recovery. A staff member with a motive to punish others was the cause my son gave up on treatment here. This man should be fired ruining peoples chances for recovery. What a shame and very disappointing to say the least!
CARITAS fails to deliver on their promise of transitional support. The "case manager" at the shelter is barely available, relying on an appointment sign-up sheet that hasn t been updated since last week. It s obvious this system exists more to avoid participants than to support them which is ironic, considering her job is supposed to be helping us manage our cases.There aren t even enough people signing up to justify her being busy. Most of the time, she s just at her computer, doing what I can only assume is the bare minimum needed to justify her paycheck.A real case manager is involved, accessible, and committed to helping people move forward. If you re 24 or under and looking for real support, skip CARITAS and go straight to the Youth Hub at Commonwealth Catholic Charities on Oliver Hill Way. The staff there are passionate, hands-on, and truly invested in helping you succeed unlike what you ll experience here.If it weren t for Commonwealth Catholic Charities, I wouldn t be getting out of the situation that brought me to the Healing Place in the first place.

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.
