The individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatry, and case work are all mediocre and unhelpful. I can see how this place would maybe help if you were born into an extremely well off family and only had extremely mild problems and didn't have a job, but for anyone working class or with a hard life it's completely pointless.
Some pictures of this establishment is fake. As a veteran that suffers from ptsd this place could not have been any worse. That I signed myself out before 30 days to leave. There was nothing that I promised.
1- No facility gym. They have to drive you lile 24 minutes away from where you stay. And the only way your going to the gym 5 times a week by asking and making a deal out of it and even that it seems like your asking for a bridge to be build.
2- the lunch they serve at the clinic esp tuesdays and wensday are greesey pepperoni and 3 pieces of greesy fried chicken so if you on a clean diet or a follower of no pork religion don’t come here.
3- if you are a self referred like myself and came on you own insurance and need Fmla or documents filled out for work this place is the worse they took almost 3 weeks for my provider to fill out her portion and at the end come to find out they don’t back track for the weekend so don’t get picked up on the weekend or drive to this place on the weekend thinking my job well be safe because they won’t back track Saturday or Sunday. After lunch is coloring and or learning how to make a bracelet the cheapest ways to quote on quote relax the patient mind. Which to me just didn’t do it because I’m not going to sit there and color for 2,3 hours a day every day. And lastly poor staff problem solving skills and they get sassy. There’s so much more I can think of but all I can say again based on my experience as a veteran that served this country I don’t recommend coming here.
My case manager Michael is awesome.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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.

Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

IOP is the level of care that is provided after Partial Care. While Partial Care mandates group therapy five days a week, IOP group therapy sessions can be held as little as 2 days a week.

Commonly, a person will still be going to IOP when they are a resident in a sober living home.

Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related 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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
