Our experience with Blanchard was very disappointing and, in my opinion, misleading when it comes…read moreto mental health. My partner was struggling with trauma-related psychotic episodes and alcohol use. During intake, both she and I stressed her mental health needs -- yet she was placed in IOP 3 for substance abuse only. For three weeks she attended every session, but there was little to no support for her underlying mental health. They mentioned GeneSight testing to evaluate her medications, but it never happened. She also received no coping tools for her trauma or racing thoughts. When she inevitably hit a trigger and drank at home, she was told the only option was to step up from 9 hours a week to 35 hours a week of substance abuse treatment (PHP). When we asked about switching her to the mental health track -- which is what we thought she had originally been assigned to -- we were told it wasn't possible. The director of the mental health program himself sat in on one meeting, dismissed our concerns, and gave us the line: "The only disease that tells you that you don't have a disease is alcoholism." But it wasn't only my partner questioning the placement -- it was me, the person who spends the most time with her. Still, there was no flexibility. After days of pushing, the director of the substance abuse program finally admitted their mental health program was "very new" and only taking extreme cases (like schizophrenia). That was never explained to us during intake or the first three weeks. Instead, we were told she must either attend PHP substance abuse full time or leave. She left, and Blanchard still billed us for 12 weeks even though she only attended three. The aftermath was devastating. She spiraled, drinking heavily every day. We had to start over from scratch -- found her a psychiatrist who immediately ordered GeneSight testing (which showed her antidepressant was a poor fit), and connected her with two therapists (IFS and EMDR). With that proper support, she is now thriving: biking 10-20 miles daily, working again, and feeling better than she ever has. I wasn't going to write this review, but after emailing the directors directly and receiving no response, I feel it's important for others to know: if you are looking for real mental health care, Blanchard is not the place. Their substance abuse program may work well for many, but their so-called "mental health program" was not at all what was advertised -- and in our case, it nearly cost my partner her life.

I inquired about their policy on medications for pain being used by clients recovering from…read morealcoholism. They called me back the next day and the person was very nice. However, they don't allow patients with an opioid prescription to be administered their medication while in recovery. I think this is a bad policy. If a person has pain because of a physical condition (in this case necrosis in both hips) and a doctor prescribes medication for it, but that person has alcoholism, why can't they be treated for alcoholism while under a medical professional's care, and have the prescribed medication to alleviate the pain while in recovery? The person in question needs hip replacement but needs to get sober before having the surgery. But no one, including this place, will help them unless they give up their pain medication and suffer physically throughout the recovery period. It doesn't make sense to me. Anyway I don't know anything about this place other than what I've said here. The person who called me was nice, but they won't accept a patient who needs to take prescribed pain medication. I wish they would because the number of facilities that will take Medicare and Medicaid is very small and since they do, I hoped it would work out.
