About Mountain Lakes Behavioral Healthcare – Guntersville
Mountain Lake Behavioral Healthcare – Cedar Lodge provides mental health and substance use treatment in Gunthersville, Alabama to adults, adolescents and children. They work with many local, state and nationwide agencies to ensure they provide the best services available. They are located right off the Florida Short Route and near the Tennessee River. They do provide a sliding fee schedule and will not deny you services due to inability to pay.
This facility is their Level 3 residential program. This program will provide you with care that is both clinically managed and high intensity. You will need a psychosocial assessment to determine if this is the best level of care for you.
You will be in treatment for about two to three weeks. During your stay, you will attend psychoeducation, counseling and peer support services. I like that they focus first on clients who are pregnant or have an intravenous substance use disorder. They do not provide medication assisted treatment but they can refer you to local physicians that whom they are partnered with.
What stood out to me is that they offer geriatric services. They can provide mental health services to the elderly who are in nursing homes. They work with the physicians and interdisciplinary teams in the nursing home to help with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorders, to just name a few.
Through their community treatment programs, outreach services are provided to eligible clients. The services they are able to provide are case management services, adult in home services and assertive community treatment.
