Along with specialized, age-specific outpatient programs, Green Country also offers <strong>inpatient crisis intervention</strong> and non-medical detoxification services for adults on-site. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Upon admission, clients meet with a clinician to undergo an initial <strong>bio-psychosocial assessment</strong>, which helps determine an appropriate treatment approach. If a client requires crisis intervention and/or detoxification, Green Country <strong>accepts both voluntary and involuntary admissions</strong>. </p> <p>To stabilize the client, the facility’s approach may involve <strong>a combination of pharmacological intervention and therapeutic programming</strong>. The goal of crisis intervention is to quickly stabilize the client and transition the individual to one of the facility’s outpatient programs.</p> <p>To promote lasting sobriety, clients recovering from substance abuse receive a range of rehabilitative programming. <strong>Clients participate in individual, group, and family counseling sessions</strong>. Clients may also attend educational workshops on coping skills and relapse prevention techniques. In addition, the facility offers a specialized program track for individuals with co-occurring disorders, one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OK17.pdf" target="_blank">102 facilities to offer such programs in Oklahoma.</a> <strong>Ongoing medication management</strong> may be incorporated into these programs.</p> <p>Programming to treat primary psychiatric disorders also consists of individual, group, and family counseling sessions.

They both praised many areas of Green Country, particularly the facility’s treatment staff. Offering a perfect five-star rating for the treatment staff’s level of experience and training, one alum wrote: “There are many counselors and they offer a wide range of services including doctor visits and medication.” </p> <p>Although the other alum agreed that staff was well-trained and experienced, rating this metric with four out of five stars, they felt that the facility was understaffed. However, the alum praised the facility’s discharge planning, writing: “Continue to work with you after released." Both survey respondents offered perfect five-star ratings for the facility’s counseling options, the level of family participation, and the facility’s ability to treat co-occurring disorders. In contrast, they rated the facility's holistic treatment offerings only one and three stars and its connectivity one and four stars.</p> <p>Secondary sources to date revealed <strong>largely positive alumni opinions</strong>.

Alum Jodie wrote in a representative review: “Green Country Behavioral Health Services showed me that they have a genuine concern for the wellbeing of their clients and I know this from experience."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on Green Country's website regarding its costs. However, the facility’s website states that, <a href="(http://www.muskogeephoenix.com/news/green-country-behavioral-health-offers-services-despite-cuts/article_a37e38b1-20f5-5909-b114-e9b66a87dd3e.html" target="_blank">despite budget cuts</a> of up to 12 percent over the past several years, treatment is provided regardless of a person’s ability to pay. </p> <p>According to <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/oklahoma/cities/muskogee/green-country-behavioral-health-services" target="_blank">CiteHealth</a> and <a href="http://mental-health-facilities.healthgrove.com/l/5852/Green-Country-Behavioral-Health-Services-Inc" target="_blank">HealthGrove</a>, the facility accepts private insurance, Medicaid, and is part of the 25.7 percent of facilities in the state that <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OK17.pdf" target="_blank">accept Medicare.</a> The two alumni polled by Rehabs.com both gave five-star ratings for the facility’s affordability.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>According to an <a href="http://www.muskogeephoenix.com/news/local-mental-health-unit-closed/article_e0280b74-8803-597a-9067-16e193c70806.html" target="_blank">August 2017 article in the Muskogee Phoenix</a>, Green Country is currently the only mental health crisis unit in Muskogee.
