About Castlewood at The Highlands Birmingham

Highlands Treatment Center is run by the Alsana Treatment Center for Eating Disorders. They’re located in Birmingham, Alabama, in a facebrick building surrounded by the breathtaking Appalachian Mountains.

Although their primary treatment focus is eating disorders, they can also help with secondary diagnoses of mental health disorders or substance use disorder. They work with adults and teenagers ages 16 and up.

Their expanded list of insurance options aims to make treatment affordable, something I know many patients appreciate. If you’re looking for a quiet spot to sit and reflect on the topics you’ve discussed during treatment sessions, you can visit McDavid Lake with just a short drive.

One Treatment Program for All Your Needs

One thing I really like about Highlands’ approach is that they intentionally combine different treatment modalities to address all the challenges you’re facing. They believe that the underlying emotions and circumstances contributing to an eating disorder are often the same things causing other mental health struggles.

You’ll spend more time working on co-occurring disorders during your individual therapy sessions, while group sessions will be slightly more generalized. These still give you the opportunity to explore your unique experiences and learn from others in recovery.

Services That Adjusts to Your Progress

Treatment intensity can change drastically when you’re healing from an eating disorder. To make these changes as smooth and flexible as possible, Highlands uses a graduated treatment model that adapts to your progress. When you’re ready to step down from partial hospitalization, you’ll have a brief transition period as you enter intensive outpatient care, for example.

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.

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.

Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

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.

Sober Living

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.
