About Bradford Health Services – Warrior
Bradford Health Services has treatment centers throughout the South, including its substance use and mental health treatment center in Warrior, Alabama. This campus is a short drive from Birmingham and is located in a beautiful forested environment in a lodge-like retreat house.
Here, you’ll find substance use disorder and mental health treatment if you have a dual diagnosis. They have special programs for active military and veterans of the US Armed Forces. They also have a program specific to young adults ages 18 to 25.
The treatment center in Warrior accepts most insurance plans, including TRICARE and Veterans Community Care programs. They also offer payment options for those without insurance.
Before you can start any treatment program, the first step is a detox. This is the process of ridding your body of any harmful substances that are still in your system. They offer 24/7 medical monitoring and care for a safe detox experience. After detox, you’ll transition to another level of care.
In the inpatient program, your treatment team will work with you to come up with a personalized treatment plan based on your history, substance use and mental health issues. You’ll be in evidence based treatments such as individual and group therapy. You’ll also get experiential therapy that includes yoga, fitness, meditation, art and spirituality.
Some of the other modes of recovery you may use include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and 12 Step programs.
There are also outpatient services if you don’t need the intensity of an inpatient program. The outpatient programs also offer group and individual therapy and medication assisted treatment (MAT). There’s an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a partial hospitalization program (PHP).
The PHP is often a good transition from an inpatient program to getting back to your life. The IOP is great if you feel like you can work and live at home but still need therapy and support to live your sober journey. If you feel like either of the programs is still too much, you can attend outpatient groups and individual therapy to support your recovery.
