A notable program offered here is the STAR treatment program for Veterans, active military, and their families. The hospital accepts insurance from many providers, including TRICARE, Medicare and Medicaid.
Biloxi has a rich maritime history and is known for its blend of coastal beauty and Southern charm. The city sits on the Gulf of Mexico and is only seven miles from the famed Biloxi Lighthouse at Biloxi Beach. The hospital is also close to Keesler Air Force Base and the VA hospital.
The STAR treatment program serves Veterans, active military members, and their families with treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression as well as substance use disorder and co occurring mental health conditions. STAR stands for Support, Treatment, Action, Recovery.
To be eligible for the program, a military provider like your VA doctor completes and sends the referral form. The VA clinicians receive updates on your progress and discharge plans.
It’s distressing to see your child dealing with mental health and substance use challenges, but the hospital has a separate inpatient treatment program specifically for kids ages 13 to 17. The program has a structured environment that helps kids build the skills they need to achieve and maintain sobriety.
The program treats substance use and co occurring mental health disorders which are often prevalent in teens using illegal substances. Treatment staff is experienced in helping teens with trauma or sexual abuse.
The inpatient program includes symptom education and medical management along with individual and group therapy. The team uses holistic healing practices and kids meet with a physician regularly. Since a child’s substance use affects the entire family, they offer family therapy options too.
There is an adolescent intensive outpatient program for teens that don’t need an inpatient stay but need more than a once per week therapy session. The treatment is similar to the inpatient program but your teen continues to live at home.
