Parkwood Behavioral Health System

About Parkwood Behavioral Health System – Olive Branch

Parkwood Behavioral Health System offers comprehensive mental health and addiction treatment services. They’re located in Olive Branch, Mississippi, next to Olive Branch City Park. They have behavioral health programs for children ages 9 to 11, adolescent services, adult services, and senior adult services. The center accepts many major insurance providers. They’ll also work with you to find financially manageable ways of getting the care you need.

If your child is using alcohol or drugs or acting out and having problems in school, they can address their issues. Their programs for children and teens include education services, so your child is not missing out on school.

They have an adult detox program. They also have an inpatient center where you can start treatment for substance use and dual diagnosis mental health disorders. Some of the disorders they treat include schizophrenia, codependency, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, phobias, anger and other dangerous behaviors.

The components of their acute inpatient care program include art and pet therapies, proper nutrition, yoga, relaxation groups, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and medication. They also have 12 Step programs onsite.

If you need less restrictive care than the inpatient program but you’re not ready for an intensive outpatient program, you can choose the adult partial hospitalization program (PHP). This is a good step down after leaving the inpatient program, and you’ll still get individualized care. The PHP is five days a week, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The adult intensive outpatient program (IOP) has group therapy if you need more than weekly therapy. This is also a good program to help with the transition back to your life. This program also meets five days a week Monday through Friday, but it’s from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you need to attend treatment from home, you can opt for the adult virtual intensive outpatient program which meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
