About Covington Behavioral Health Hospital
Located in Covington, Louisiana, Covington Behavioral Health Hospital is a mental health treatment center. The center offers several programs, including inpatient detox for adults 18 and up. The facility is not a substance abuse treatment center. However, they treat co occurring disorders and recognize that many people need detox before they can address their mental health.
They accept most major insurance including Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, and TRICARE for military personnel. They also accept HealthyLouisiana and Medicare.
Detox at this facility is the prerequisite for entering their inpatient program for substance dependencies. In inpatient detox, you’ll have medical supervision around the clock that starts with a physical exam. You’ll have a comprehensive assessment to determine your full substance use history, including co-occurring mental health disorders. Also called dual diagnosis, these are mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, or depression that can be at the root of your substance use.
The facility itself is well lit and has a calm and soothing atmosphere. They use a blend of earth colors, from green and brown to beige and white, to put you at ease. The spacious lobbies, outdoor gazebos, and gyms allow you to socialize and meet peers while working together in various activities.
Once the treatment team has all your pertinent information, they’ll develop a custom treatment plan to help you through detox. The plan treats your physical, mental, and emotional health. You may be given medications to ease any uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms you may have. Detox usually lasts about 5-7 days but everyone is unique, so you may take less or more time.
While in detox, you’ll receive treatment from licensed counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners, clinical psychologists, dieticians, and other professionals. You’ll participate in individual and group therapy. If appropriate, you’ll meet with a psychiatrist for medication management for your mental health needs.
Group therapy sessions include psychoeducation groups, process groups, and dietary groups. There are also activity groups and creative therapy groups. You may also have family therapy which is scheduled and conducted by your case manager. After detox and inpatient treatment, your treatment team can help you decide on your next steps which may include the intensive outpatient program.
Levels of Care
