Use of Electronics

Our top priority is ensuring the effectiveness of your rehab stay. We’ve found that limiting access to cellphones and laptops significantly boosts the chances of a successful recovery. By reducing distractions, we foster an environment where you can concentrate fully on your healing journey. While we understand the importance of staying in touch with loved ones, our staff will help you maintain communication that aligns with your treatment goals. We do make exceptions for certain circumstances, such as addiction treatment for executives who may need continued access to electronics. For specific needs and to ensure the best support, it’s best to contact us directly.

Spark To Recovery is committed to supporting our patients every step of the way. Embark on your recovery journey today by getting started with the admission process.

Spark To Recovery provides a wide variety of addiction recovery programs. Depending on the specific recovery needs of the individual patient, we will tailor our fully customizable treatment programs. As such, the duration that each patient should stay at the treatment facility will differ. Read on to find out the approximate duration for each level of addiction treatment at our facility.

Residential Rehabilitation

Our residential rehabilitation program requires the patient to stay at the facility full-time. This stage of recovery can last from several weeks to months, depending on their unique needs.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Patients can stay at home during our intensive outpatient program. This treatment process usually takes around a month to complete.

Spark To Recovery has a team of board-qualified medical professionals who are fully committed to facilitating recovery in our patients with compassion. Embark on your recovery journey today by seeking help at our treatment facility.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Partial hospitalization is the third stage of rehabilitation, which provides patients with detailed treatment and supervision but without continuous supervision. This process can take three to five weeks.

For specifics regarding each tailored program, please contact us directly.

Each addiction treatment program offers different levels of care depending on the condition of your substance use disorder. 

Fixed Schedule

For an average day in rehab, you can look forward to a fixed wake-up and lights-out schedule, designated medical programs, group therapy sessions, and individual counseling sessions. These programs are interspersed at various times during the day to ensure you are fully occupied without being too overwhelmed.

Development of Programs

During the process of developing a specific treatment program for your disorder, our facility considers the level of care you require that aims to maximize your recovery. 

Enriching Activities

Rehab duration varies depending on the level of care you require. Each day is filled with activities that tackle not just treatment alone, but also guidance and support events that focus on addressing your emotional and psychological needs. At Spark to Recovery, you can look forward to a well-rounded care program that looks after you entirely.

The cost of rehab may be a deterrent for some but in reality, it doesn’t need to be. In some cases, there are alternative payment options that you can choose to finance your rehab and the costs involved will depend on the level of care and number of programs that you sign up for.  Keep in mind, addiction treatment is always less costly than continuing an addiction at the expense of your health, relationships, and future economic potential.  

Insurance Plans

At Spark To Recovery, we work with major insurance carriers, such as Aetna, Blue Shield, ComPsych, Health Net, Magellan, Molina, and Tri-West Alliance. During enrollment, our staff will help you verify your insurance by working with your insurance carrier while also recommending a series of specific questions that you can ask your insurance carrier if necessary. It is always recommended to check with your insurance carrier before enrolling at a treatment facility to facilitate a smooth enrollment process.

Major Credit and Debit Cards

Our treatment center also accepts most major credit and debit cards for payment such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express to help pay for your treatment.

At Spark To Recovery, we pride ourselves on being a fully accredited treatment facility that can meet your recovery needs. In addition, Spark To Recovery holds licenses that verify that the care provided by our center meets the stringent state regulations. We have full confidence that our committed team of staff members is highly qualified, trained, and compassionate in facilitating the recovery of patients who require help with substance addiction.

We respect the privacy of our patients and every communication is kept strictly between each patient and our treatment center alone. All communication must also be approved by each individual patient with written consent before the execution of any mode of communication either internally or externally. We adhere closely to the federal HIPAA guidelines to ensure utmost privacy is maintained throughout your entire stay here at our center. The treatment program of each patient is also kept strictly confidential at our center from the start of the program until the end.

Privacy Rights

Patients at our center can rest assured that their basic privacy rights will be honored by our staff to ensure their privacy is maintained, and their reputation is protected at all times during their stay. We believe that every patient attending rehab has a right to confidentiality and privacy.

Privacy Paperwork

Those attending our rehab program are also required to sign paperwork which covers medications, a physical exam, mental health concerns, history of drug abuse, and other details. For patients who require additional privacy like identity protection, we will take necessary precautions for further protection during treatment.

Once we have received all necessary information, patients can take comfort knowing that the following content is kept strictly confidential during rehab:

  • The past, present, and future of the patient’s physical condition.
  • The past, present, and future of the patient’s mental health.
  • The past, present, and future of the patient’s modes of payment.
  • Provision of different healthcare programs.

In addition, the identity of each family member who visits our patients at our center will be kept strictly confidential.

If you think that the costs of rehab are beyond what you can afford, do not despair and treat the situation as a deterrent. There are plenty of other options made available for you, like insurance, to help make the entire rehab experience a more affordable journey for everyone in need. If you do not have existing health insurance, we will provide the necessary guidelines you can follow, to get a hold of a suitable plan that can best accommodate your financial needs. That includes getting treatment covered either partially or fully.

Insurance Coverage

Most private health insurance plans cover a certain percentage of rehab programs, whilst there are some that cover rehab programs entirely. To learn if your insurance carrier offers coverage for residential treatment, speak to a consultant to understand more. If you are not sure what to ask, our enrollment team can provide you with specific questions that you can ask your insurance carrier like the number of days and the types of services you are entitled to sign up for under your plan.

The Affordable Healthcare Act

Under the Affordable Healthcare Act, an insurance applicant will no longer be penalized for a pre-existing condition. This allows the applicant who may already be battling an addiction to continue applying for a healthcare policy. Alcohol and drug use disorders are also included in the ten main health benefits. This simply means that insurance policies must treat mental health disorders and addiction with the same level of importance as any other forms of medical conditions.

At Spark To Recovery, we understand the needs of our patients who may want their loved ones to pay them a visit. A visit from a family member or a friend during treatment can help promote emotional healing, build trust, and boost morale both for our patients and their loved ones.  For specific policies on visitors, please contact us directly.
