About Carl Albert Mental Health Center

Carl Albert Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) is an outpatient facility that treats a variety of mental health conditions along with substance abuse. It is part of the state-funded Oklahoma Mental Health and Substance Abuse department which provides services to Oklahoma residents.

Dual Diagnosis Support in McAlester

For many people, substance abuse isn’t something that just happens without any contributing factors. I like that this facility prioritizes dual diagnosis care to ensure that they’re not only treating the addiction, but any underlying mental health factors that might have steered you towards substance dependency.

Therapy to Help You Cope

Beyond simply helping you achieve sobriety, Carl Albert CMHC also wants to ensure you have the tools to maintain this new achievement. I like that there are multiple therapy options available. Beyond simply offering individual, group or family sessions, you can choose between CBT, active therapy, behavior modification support, and trauma therapy.

Care Catered to You

Carl Albert CMHC offers both outpatient services and can also refer to you for inpatient treatment depending on the results of your intake evaluation. However, I’m impressed that this facility also offers mobile crisis support. Carl Albert CMHC accepts most major insurances and Medicaid, but a patient advocate can provide more detailed information about managing payments, claims, and financial support.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

In Oklahoma, you’ll find a variety of addiction treatment programs. Each adult program in Oklahoma is tailored to meet the individual where they are and help them find a healthy path to recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The fundamentals of cognitive behavioral therapy in Oklahoma state that psychological disorders are based in part on inaccurate thinking and on learned patterns of behavior. A guiding principle is that people who are addicted can learn better ways of coping and achieve recovery.

Men's Rehab

Men’s rehab in Oklahoma is perfect for men who prefer to be around people of their own gender during rehab. This can remove distractions and help men focus on their treatment and recovery.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Elderly rehab in Oklahoma goes beyond substance use disorder treatment to incorporate common challenges of aging. Typical issues addressed include physical mobility, proper use of prescription medication, social support, and chronic medical conditions.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in Oklahoma takes into consideration biology, stress, stigmas, and social norms of women. These programs help women overcome the challenges surrounding each of these aspects of their lives and learn to live a sober lifestyle.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

If you are struggling with moderate substance abuse, outpatient rehab in Oklahoma may be a good fit. This flexible program involves meeting with a counselor two or three times per week and attending 12-step meetings such as AA or NA. You’ll continue with this treatment until you are ready to move to the next level of recovery care.

Dual diagnosis treatment in Oklahoma provides treatment for mental health and substance use disorders under one roof. You’ll receive treatment from specialists in both fields, so all your recovery needs are met.

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible. Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.
