Accessible Mental Health Support

Programs are designed for those seeking support for anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges that may overlap with substance use. Care is designed to address both needs together, with individual therapy, group sessions, and access to psychiatric providers. Telehealth options make it possible to continue therapy even if attending sessions on site is difficult.

Move Through Levels of Care with Ease

Treatment is available at different levels of intensity so clients can get the right amount of support for their particular needs. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides four hours of daily group treatment for those needing consistent structure, while the intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers less intensive touchpoints with 10–15 hours of programming across the week. These options create a step-up or step-down pathway, making it easier to stay connected to care as needs change.

Building Connection with Those Who’ve Been There

Programs go beyond therapy sessions to help clients build coping skills and strengthen stability. Yoga, art therapy, mindfulness, and meditation help clients manage stress, while Recovery Support Specialists, who bring lived experience, provide added encouragement. The TryCycle mobile app extends connection between visits by offering journaling tools and alerts that notify staff when extra support may be needed.

Client Reviews

Clients describe varied experiences at this facility. Many highlight compassionate staff and effective detox that gave them a strong start in recovery, while others raise challenges with admissions, communication, and follow-through after treatment.

  • Staff & Care Experience (60% positive): Many reviewers describe kind, supportive staff. Others, however, felt staff were unresponsive or unprofessional. “The staff is compassionate and clearly cares for the well-being of their clients.”
  • Treatment Quality & Outcomes (55% positive): Detox is often praised as well-run and effective, with clients reporting it helped them begin recovery. By contrast, some inpatient and IOP experiences felt disorganized or unhelpful. “For anyone seeking detox and/or intensive inpatient, Rushford is the place to go.”

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
