About UAB Center for Beacon Recovery

The University of Alabama Center for Beacon Recovery is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Birmingham, Alabama. They treat adults and teenagers for substance use disorder (SUD) on an outpatient basis.

They charge a small monthly fee for all of their services. They accept Medicaid and they take self-pay on a sliding scale basis. No one is denied treatment for an inability to pay.

Treatment Programs

Most clients start recovery in their intensive outpatient program (IOP). You will have a minimum of 9 hours of group and individual therapy per week.

What I like most about this program are all the group sessions it offers. They have a group that teaches healthy coping and another for financial fitness. They also have groups for trauma and grief.

They have a standard outpatient program called PRIME Promoting Recovery through Individualized Motivational Enhancement. This is a two to three month program offering one or two 50-minute private sessions a week.

The Mission Program

If you are unhoused and have both a mental health condition and SUD, you can participate in the Mission program. It is a one-day treatment program that helps you find resources for treatment and housing. It also provides access to the medical clinic and no-cost prescription medication.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction t...reatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improv...e your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Meditation Room

Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These ...therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holisti...c treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, ...wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.

WiFi

Some rehab programs offer free Wi-Fi to guests who have full access to their smartphone devices or laptop comp...uters during treatment. While access to these devices may be allowed, the time spent using them is often regulated or restricted so clients can focus on treatment.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yog...a boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
