<p><strong>ABOUT DORIS BURDMAN HOME RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER</strong></p> <p>One of 10 independent programs operated by Compass Family & Community Services, the <strong>Doris Burdman Home Residential Treatment Center (DBH)</strong> is one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH16.pdf" target="_blank">88 (21.7%) residential</a> treatment facilities in the state. Dedicated to adults with <strong>mental health disorders</strong>, it is also in the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH16.pdf" target="_blank">44.8% of Ohio</a> facilities to have specifically tailored programs for this type of treatment. Located on the historic northside of Youngstown, Ohio, about an hour east of Akron, DBH helps clients achieve healthy behavioral change and lead fully productive lives.</p> <p>Detox services are not available here.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>A formal intake, usually consisting of an in-person interview with one of center’s clinicians, is required for clients to be admitted to the facility.</p> <p>Programming at DBH is designed to help clients learn the coping skills and strategies needed to live independent and productive lives. Length of treatment may vary, though many clients require stays of “intermediate” length, according to the program’s webpage. Treatment includes <strong>counseling, medication monitoring, and life skills education</strong>. Clients also work with case managers to address their medical, social, educational, and vocational needs.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Per the program’s webpage, “DBH is staffed with two to three persons awake and on duty 24 hours a day seven days a week.” The treatment team includes a <strong>psychiatrist</strong>, a full-time program director, a full-time counselor, and a part-time psychiatric nurse.</p> <p>Additionally, all substance abuse treatment facilities in <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">Ohio have continuing education requirements</a> for staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the treatment center regarding its living arrangements and related offerings; however, the national average of beds for <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2016_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">non-hospital residential clients</a> at a given time is 18.</p> <p>The two Rehabs.com survey respondents differed widely on the matter: while one awarded five stars for both the accommodations and quality of meals, the other gave only one and two stars for these categories.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive any reviews from this center’s alumni, the two loved ones surveyed by Rehab.com to date gave DBH <strong>mostly positive reviews.</strong> Both reported four-star ratings on a variety of treatment metrics evaluated, such as the family participation, the counseling options, and the treatment for <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. </p> <p>When surveyed, on a scale from one to five, how likely they would be to recommend treatment at this facility, both reviewers gave four stars. Additionally, both gave <strong>four stars to staff level of training and experience</strong> and both noted this as a facility strength, one loved one listing, "One on one personal relationships," and the other, "Caring staff, Recognizing patients and families were strengths."</p> <p>Despite overall praise, these two reviewers complained that the program had a <strong>staff-to-client ratio that was too high</strong> and that clients were given too much free time.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Although no facility staff have yet submitted feedback to Rehabs.com, employees of Compass Family & Community Services overall (rather than this facility in particular) generated mixed reviews. With a <strong>3.5-star average</strong> on Indeed, reviewers tended to agree that despite the work being rewarding, the administration and the <strong>understaffing made for a difficult work environment</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's webpage regarding its costs, however both loved ones indicated that treatment was well worth the cost.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Compass-Family-&-Community-Services/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Compass-Family-&-Community-Services/reviews</a></small></p>
