I just got home from this place and it was truly a good experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who's serious about getting off drugs. They have a great staff and it's so deep in the woods noone really thinks of leaving. They take you fishing down at the swamp. It is coed. You get to order your food from a grocery store and cook it yourself, so you're basically living with some forms of independence even though you're in treatment. I looked at my two week stay like a summer vacation. Thank you guys for having me.

UPDATE: So I posted this when I initially left. I didn’t complete treatment. But it says a lot when a facility still has you turn your life around. I started methadone and have almost gotten everything in my life back. And it was all due to the care these people showed me. They may not even remember me bc my experience there was so brief. But their impact lasted forever. The way they fought for me. Worked on me, even in ways that made me uncomfortable. And the way they believed in me. That small period of time I spent there showed me I could do more than I thought. And it weighed on me. I remember this lady grabbing me and telling me ,”the devil is a liar, and he wants you when you are weak!” And that stuck with me. During my addiction I had felt so chronically alone. Maybe I didn’t complete the program as I should, but that doesn’t mean yall shouldn’t!!! Keep going. Stick with it. These people will change your whole life. Even I got off of hard drugs because of their impact. So please, do better than even me, and give them a chance. Hell, do the full 90 days as they have all the tools. I wish I would’ve. But I’m still grateful because even their comfort, and love they showed me in my darkest time stuck with me until this very day. ———— POST PRIOR TO THE UPDATE BELOW: I sadly didn’t complete my treatment, not even by a little. I cowered down on day three. But these people really care. They try their best to keep you there. They care for you. And by you I mean YOU as an individual. I wish I would’ve been stronger than my vices. But to anyone looking to give treatment a plan. Please do not overlook this blessing. Some of the most patient, compassionate human beings I’ve ever met. They meet you with a love I honestly haven’t seen since I’d initially battled my addiction. Please give them a chance, and be stronger than I was. They are such lovely human beings not a single one showing any hint of judgement. Sweet people all around Answers for those afraid of rehab, esp opioid addicts: yes you are detoxed with comfort meds!!! no they won’t let you suffer They do not treat you like a “junkie.” They love you and see you as someone suffering a disease. Never in my entire life have I seen people so passionate about their job.

Accepted Insurance

The Estate at River Bend – Addiction Treatment Center in Mississippi 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

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 iconOutpatient

Clients stepping down from inpatient care or who prefer to remain at home while receiving intensive treatment may choose to enroll in an outpatient rehab. Outpatient day treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients requiring more robust supervision and daily treatment. Standard outpatient services enable clients to attend addiction counseling and recovery education throughout the week, with many centers offering weekend, night, and evening sessions to accommodate clients' work and family schedules.

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) require substantive support as they prepare to transition into standard outpatient (OP) care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Most IOP clients are in early recovery or are at an elevated relapse risk. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves multiple, extended sessions weekly. Many programs require clients to participate in a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly. The most common treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery education, and medication assisted treatment.

12-step icon12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs focus on the development of spiritual, psychological, and emotional skills to support sustained recovery. They regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, peer-directed, anonymous, open to the public, and accessible daily in most communities. Specialized formats are also widely available, including groups for seniors, teens, and families. Though these programs are rooted in the belief in a higher power, religious affiliation is not required.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Under the 24/7 care of medical professionals, a medically supervised detox helps to ensure your maximum safety and comfort while ridding the body of all addictive substances. In many cases, your medical team will administer various medications (like Suboxone or methadone) to help alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. After you are fully detoxed off drugs and alcohol, you'll likely transition to the next stage of your recovery process.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Evidence based therapies offered in group therapy settings in Mississippi ensure that you are accountable to your peers. This encourages everyone to stay committed to their recovery and fosters a sense of community with other participants. You learn essential coping skills that help you navigate challenges within the community and achieve sustainable recovery.

Individual therapy for drug addiction provides you a safe nonjudgmental space to discuss your struggles and past trauma that impact addictive behavior. Your therapist offers support and guidance as you develop personalized strategies to navigate the challenges of recovery.

The goal of trauma therapy is to help you heal from the effects of witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. You are provided support to process those traumatic memories and then develop coping strategies to improve your emotional resilience and ability to cope in society.

While undergoing couples therapy, you'll explore any problems in your relationship with the goal of identifying and resolving dysfunctional patterns. You'll learn new and better ways to manage challenges so you can move forward with a healthier relationship.

Family therapy involves group sessions in which all members of the family unit are together to discuss how addiction has affected them collectively and individually. Experienced therapists help guide families to develop strategies that protect their well being and emotional health while supporting their loved one's efforts to recover.

I got home from The Estate yesterday, it's more of a long term detox facility. It was a nice stay, but lacked in therapy sessions. The area that it is located is a nice setting, I wasnt able to get sober, however, my after care is questionable. When I got home I kept drinking. I ended up going to Mercy House and got sober. Now I’m 11 months sober.
