<p><strong>ABOUT COVINGTON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL</strong></p> <p>Located in southwestern Covington, a few miles from the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, Covington Behavioral Health Hospital (previously known as Greenbrier Behavioral Health Hospital) is a <strong>60-bed psychiatric hospital</strong> that treats individuals struggling with psychiatric and emotional disorders. The center is not primarily an addiction treatment facility, though it does offer <strong>medical detox</strong> for those struggling with a co-occurring substance abuse disorder — one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">16 hospital-based, inpatient detox programs</a> available in the state of Louisiana. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Covington Behavioral Health Hospital’s website indicates that clients can detox from <strong>alcohol, benzodiazepines, and certain opioid-based medications</strong>. Once clients finish the program, they must transition into the inpatient program — detox is not available as a standalone service.</p> <p>Inpatient care is available for individuals struggling with mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, personality disorders, and PTSD, as well as <strong>polysubstance abuse.</strong> Clients participate in individual and group therapy, plus family therapy on request. The center's main treatment modalities are <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)</strong>, psychoeducation, crisis intervention, creative therapies, solution-focused therapy, and <strong>medication management</strong>.</p> <p>An <strong>intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong> meets for three hours per day, and clients — who must have a primary mental health diagnosis — are required to attend a minimum of <strong>six hours per week</strong>. The IOP is available only as a step-down from inpatient care.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, the treatment team includes psychiatrists, medical psychologists, nurses, social workers, and counselors. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center three out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Covington Behavioral Health Hospital provides very little information about its accommodations and amenities, except to note that the hospital has <strong>60 beds</strong>; offers arts, crafts, and music for its clients; and encourages loved ones to visit during specified hours. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center four stars for its cleanliness, three stars for its meals and nutrition, and two stars for its accommodations and exercise/leisure offerings.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet polled any Covington alumni, though <strong>secondary sites yielded mixed alumni feedback</strong> at the time of this writing, with average ratings of 2.9 out of five stars based on 25 reviews on Google and 3.25 out of five stars based on four reviews on Yelp.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>There are repeated complaints about a <strong>lack of programming, with TV and games being offered instead of therapy,</strong> as well as uncaring staff and a sense that the center was more interested in charging insurance than in helping people. "We watched at least five hours of movies per day," one alum wrote in a representative comment on Google. Alum Laura added: The staff had a few very bright stars but the majority seemed vastly uncaring. The treatment was practically non-existent."</p> <p>However, the positive reviews invariably noted that <strong>the staff seem to genuinely care about clients.</strong> "All staff treated me with respect and compassion. I felt like they all work there to really help others and it showed," Erika wrote on Google in a typical positive comment.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing would not recommend treatment at Covington. "Not well maintained, shabby, poor facility," The loved one wrote, giving the center three stars for its family participation and just two stars for its counseling options and ability to treat co-occurring disorders.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Staff member Jason gave Covington a one-star rating on Google, and wrote: "Very cr-ppy place to work for."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Covington Behavioral Health Hospital is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">26.1 percent</a> of facilities in Louisiana that accepts Medicare. Also accepted are TriCare and most major private insurance policies.
