Outpatient mental health treatments are services offered at our clinics that do not require overnight stays in a facility. This type of treatment helps those dealing with mental illness learn coping skills through regular therapy and education.

Our outpatient mental health services include individual and group therapy, case management, skill development and medication management.

Yes, Medicare covers outpatient mental health services, including therapy, family counseling, patient, prescriptions and testing.

An intensive outpatient program for mental health falls between general outpatient treatment and residential treatment. This type of program requires clients to visit a clinic several days per week for treatment but does not require overnight stays in a residential facility.

Residential treatment is 24-hour care for those in need of mental health therapy, which is more intensive than that offered by regular therapy appointments. Clients stay in a short-term residential facility where they have access to constant care and treatment for serious mental health conditions.

The cost of residential mental health treatment varies, but most health insurance plans provide at least some coverage.

There are a few ways to pay for residential mental health treatment, including:

• Health insurance
• Health savings plans
• Payment arrangements
• Medicaid
• Government assistance

Medicare offers limited coverage for residential treatment for mental health. We can work with clients to determine if coverage is available or to find other ways to make treatment more affordable. Contact us for additional information.

Substance abuse is the excessive or habitual use of illegal drugs, alcohol or pain medication.

Substance abuse is an addiction, which is considered a chronic, complex disease that affects both the body and the brain. The compulsive use of substances can change brain functioning and lead to other mental and physical disorders.

Substance abuse is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, behavioral, psychological and biological risk factors. Someone may begin abusing drugs or alcohol out of curiosity or the desire to feel good. Other common risk factors include:

• Poor home environment
• Financial stress
• Sleep problems
• Family history of addiction
• Divorce
• Chronic pain

Because substance abuse can cause changes to the brain, long-term, frequent drug use can lead to a bipolar disorder diagnosis.

Yes. We provide an outpatient substance abuse program, along with outpatient intensive treatment for substance use addictions. We also provided residential recovery substance use care centers for both women and men.

Some common signs of substance abuse include:

• Changes in hygiene
• Dental issues
