The setting is a home type setting which adolescents are more receptive to in treatment. There is a mixture of staff who are in recovery and those who have not personally dealt with addiction issues, so the perspectives of all staff make this a great place for adolescents. There is a lake, a weight room/gym, basketball, volleyball, equine roundpin (equine therapy in the near future to start), meals prepared by an executive chef which are decided upon by a registered dietitian, and the schedule is nicely put together. The boys have plenty of time for schoolwork, reading, leisure activities, and still maintain their program at Stonewater. It is a new facility so there are still changes being made to the employee schedule, policies, etc. but that is to be expected. Communication between staff needs to improve a great deal to help things flow easier from day to day. This is a great facility/program from what I know. The employees are truly dedicated to helping these boys get to a place in their life where the addiction is a memory rather than a struggle. The Nurses, Clinical Assistants, counselors/therapists, and everyone involved want the best for everyone who comes thru their doors. If we can positively affect the patient long term, then we have also positively affected the family and friends of that patient long term, and hopefully broken an unforgiving cycle of addiction
I was in another treatment Facility prior to OTC and the difference was glaring. I was treated by the staff with respect and the teachings were very helpful to my recovery. Thorough treatment facility. They didn't have the horses that they now have. LOL
Knowledgeable dedicated staff. Good co-occurring and trauma screening and treatment. Needs larger space with Detox availability
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities or specific health conditions. It covers hospital care, medical services, and prescription drug coverage through Parts A, B, C, and D.
Medicare in Mississippi can help cover addiction treatment services when medically necessary. This may include inpatient detox in a hospital, outpatient counseling, partial hospitalization programs, and medication assisted treatment approved by Medicare. Coverage depends on the type of Medicare plan and medical necessity.
Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may require prior authorization for inpatient or residential rehab services. Traditional Medicare usually does not require prior authorization, but coverage is subject to medical necessity guidelines.
Eligibility for Medicare is based primarily on age and disability. Most people qualify at age 65 or older. Younger individuals may qualify if they have received Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for 24 months, or have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
