The Estate at River Bend

The average length of stay for the residential program is 35 to 45 days. The duration is flexible and depends on individual clinical needs, particularly the length of time required for a safe medical detox.

The living quarters are comfortable and modern cottages. All rooms are shared, meaning you will have a roommate. Private rooms are not available. This setup is designed to foster peer support and community.

No, it is an open campus, not a locked facility. Clients have the freedom to walk around the 108-acre property and enjoy the natural surroundings when they are not in scheduled groups or therapy sessions. Leaving the property without permission, however, would be considered leaving Against Medical Advice (AMA).

Smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas; products must be new and sealed on arrival. Personal electronics like cell phones and laptops are not allowed. Phones are locked away by staff, and limited access can be arranged through your primary counselor.

Bring: About a week's worth of comfortable clothing, new/unopened/alcohol-free toiletries, your ID and insurance cards, and any current prescription medications in their original bottles.
Leave at home: Valuables, electronics (phones, laptops), weapons, non-prescribed medications, revealing clothing, and outside food or drinks.

Inpatient treatment is a 24/7 residential program where you live at the facility, providing a highly structured and immersive therapeutic environment away from outside triggers. Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions at the center, offering more flexibility but requiring a higher level of personal accountability.

Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes a medical doctor (virtual), Nurse Practitioners, nurses, licensed counselors, and therapists. This team works collaboratively to provide comprehensive medical and clinical care.

The program is for co-ed adults (18+) and has a capacity of 52 clients. You will be in treatment with a diverse group of peers from various backgrounds, all working toward recovery. The clientele primarily consists of individuals with private or employer-sponsored insurance.

Family involvement is facilitated through family therapy sessions, which are arranged by the client's primary counselor and typically conducted via telehealth. There are no on-site family visitations during the residential phase of treatment to ensure clients can remain focused on their initial recovery.

The Estate provides robust discharge planning and a continuum of care. Clients can step down to their PHP with housing program for continued support. Additionally, they have an active Alumni Program that offers a network of peer support to help graduates maintain long-term sobriety.

The campus is a 108-acre secluded forest on the banks of southern Mississippi's Pascagoula River, offering a tranquil and private setting. Client housing consists of modern, comfortable cottages, with men and women living on opposite ends of the property. There is also a dedicated medical building for the detox unit.
