Frequently Asked Questions
Program & Treatment
Why choose us? What makes it different than other addiction treatment centers?
BHG focuses on "recovery for a lifetime," uses a proprietary clinical model that adapts to patient needs, and offers expansive counseling and case management. They also provide both in-center dosing and prescription-based options for medication.
What substance use disorder treatment programs do you offer?
They offer outpatient treatment programs for opioid addiction using Medication-Assisted Recovery with methadone, Suboxone, and extended-release buprenorphine, along with addiction counseling.
How do you treat dual diagnosis?
The website states that their counselors work to diagnose and treat co-occurring issues like depression to "heal the whole person."
What types of therapies do you use in your addiction treatment programs?
They use cognitive behavioral therapy in individual, group, and family counseling formats.
Does this program use the 12-steps?
No, the program is a clinical model centered around Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and evidence-based counseling, rather than the 12-Step fellowship model.
Is the program faith-based?
No, this is a clinical, evidence-based program and is not affiliated with any faith or religion.
What is the difference between rehab and an opioid use program?
A Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinic differs from traditional rehab primarily in its approach. MAT clinics use FDA-approved medications like methadone or Suboxone combined with counseling to treat addiction as a chronic medical condition. These clinics are typically outpatient, allowing patients to live at home. In contrast, traditional rehab often focuses on complete abstinence, usually involves residential inpatient stays (e.g., 30-90 days), and emphasizes intensive therapy without long-term medication maintenance.
Cost & Admission
What will my costs be for treatment?
Costs vary. Self-pay estimates are an intake fee of $100-$300 and a daily maintenance fee of $20-$60, depending on the medication. Most costs will be covered if you have Medicaid or other insurance.
Do you accept insurance for substance use disorder treatment?
Yes, they accept Medicaid and Medicare. They also work with other insurance providers like Optum, United, Humana, and Aetna. Financing and sliding scale plans may be available.
Do you provide detoxification services?
They do not offer inpatient detox. However, the Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program serves as a form of outpatient taper/detox by managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings with medication.
Is Suboxone (MAT) permitted?
Yes, they offer Medication-Assisted Recovery with Suboxone as one of their primary treatment options.
Do you treat co-occurring mental disorders?
Yes, they treat co-occurring issues like depression through integrated counseling services.
Daily Life & Rules
How long will I be there?
Treatment length is individualized and based on clinical need. Some patients may taper off medication over weeks or months, while others may remain on maintenance therapy for years or indefinitely for stability.
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
This is an outpatient program for opioid use disorder, so there are no living facilities. Patients live at home and visit the clinic for services.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
As an outpatient clinic, this is not a locked facility. Patients come for scheduled appointments and leave afterward.
Can I use my phone or laptop? Is smoking allowed?
Yes, smoking is permitted outside in designated areas. Patients can also use their phones, but not during counseling sessions.
What should I bring with me?
For your appointments, you should bring a valid Photo ID, your Insurance Card (if applicable), and a form of payment for any co-pays or fees.
What should I leave at home?
Since this is an outpatient clinic, you only need to bring items necessary for your appointment. Weapons, illicit substances, or alcohol are strictly prohibited on the premises.
What is the layout of the campus?
The facility is a clinical office with a reception area, private rooms for individual and family counseling, a larger room for group sessions, and staff offices.
Support, Staff & Community
Who provides care here? Treatment team? Staff?
Care is provided by a local, multidisciplinary team that includes licensed counselors, nurses, and medical providers (such as Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants) who administer MAT medications.
Who else will be in treatment with me at your facility? What is their occupancy?
You will be in treatment with other co-ed adults (18+) who are also seeking help for opioid use disorder. The clientele includes individuals with Medicaid, private insurance, and those who self-pay. Group sessions typically have 10-15 people.
Are family visits allowed?
Since this is an outpatient clinic, traditional "visitation" does not apply. However, family involvement is encouraged through dedicated family counseling sessions.
What family involvement is included in the treatment process?
The program offers family counseling sessions to help repair relationships, educate loved ones on the nature of addiction, and build a strong, informed support system.
What kind of aftercare and follow-up support is available?
MAT is considered ongoing care rather than a program with a fixed end date. For patients seeking additional support, the staff can provide referrals to other levels of care, sober living homes, or 12-step meetings in the community.
Are there psychiatrists and psychologists on staff?
The primary medical providers are typically Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants, and counseling is provided by licensed counselors. The website does not specify if psychiatrists or psychologists are on staff.
Is there any follow-up after discharge?
The program offers ongoing outpatient services. Based on their social media, they also host community events, providing opportunities for alumni to stay connected if they choose.
What is the length of a stay?
The duration of treatment is flexible and depends entirely on the individual's clinical needs and recovery goals. There is no maximum or minimum length of stay.
