About South Central Alabama Mental Health Center
South Central Alabama Mental Health operates multiple clinics in four Alabama counties: Butler, Coffee, Covington and Crenshaw County. The Andalusia Outpatient Center is located in Andalusia, Alabama and serves Covington County. They provide outpatient mental health and addiction treatment as well as a rehabilitative Day Program.
The Center has open access walk in hours once a week so you can get care or start enrollment without an appointment. The clinic accepts most health insurance plans, and they are happy to review your coverage so you know what to expect. They also take Medicare and Medicaid.
Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment for Substance Use
To start substance use treatment with South Central Alabama Mental Health, you first need to do their assessment. They can address mental health, substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders. I like that the program prioritizes admission for pregnant women, IV drug users, women with children and individuals who are HIV positive.
Treatment takes place in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) format, with three hours of treatment two or three times a week. Morning and evening sessions are available. Services include individual and group counseling along with relapse prevention planning and 12 step participation.
The Court Referral Education Program in Covington County
I noticed that the Andalusia Center also administers DUI evaluations and education classes, as well as mandated treatment programs. They have a 12 hour and 24 hour class, and those in the 24 hour program also have to attend four AA or NA meetings.
The Court Referral Education Program (CREP) aims to educate participants on the impact of substance use and the patterns of use and recovery while giving them skills to make healthier decisions going forward.
Amenities
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.
Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.
Addiction Treatment Programs
A young adult program in Alabama offers treatment tailored to young adults to provide the self-care, connection, and self-understanding they need to move forward in life. This treatment is designed by specialists who are familiar with the challenges of this stage of life.
Adult rehab programs in Alabama provide addiction treatment for men and women ages 18 and older. Treatment focuses on helping adults break their dependence on substances and learn ways to live a sober lifestyle.
Elderly rehab in Alabama is addiction treatment designed for older adults. These programs may offer detox, residential treatment, or outpatient treatment as well as case management for aftercare.
Levels of Care
Alabama dual diagnosis treatment takes an integrated approach to substance abuse and mental health disorders that occur simultaneously. Since co-occurring disorders tend to have overlapping symptoms, treating both conditions at the same time is essential for recovery.
Rehab aftercare in Alabama begins as soon as your rehab treatment ends. It provides continued support to prevent relapse. Aftercare may include 12-step meetings, follow-up counseling, and ongoing life coaching, which may last for a few weeks, months, or a year or more.
Peer support is crucial to recovery, and the first few months of sobriety are often the most vulnerable. Sober living in Alabama provides safe housing and structured living conditions to help you maintain abstinence during this time.
Outpatient rehab in Alabama allows you to attend a few hours of counseling each week, spread out over several days. You can spend the rest of your time at home, working, or fulfilling other obligations. The length of time in this type of program varies by individual.
