FAQ

You may request a discharge at any time, but we advise that any decisions about discharge be made collaboratively with the treatment team, so a thoughtful aftercare plan can be developed and arranged. If you are receiving treatment due to a court order, a doctor’s order to discharge is required before you can leave. In situations involving imminent concerns for your safety, further evaluation may be necessary.

Our insurance pricing calculator can help you estimate the out-of-pocket costs of your care (the amount you can expect to owe for your treatment). The federal government requires us to post standard charges for inpatient and outpatient services and items we provide, and this tool goes beyond that requirement to help you estimate the cost based on your insurance plan including co-pays and deductibles.

While a typical day may look slightly different based on your level of care and treatment program, you can expect to engage in both group-based education and individual time to work on assignments geared toward your unique treatment plan.

To ensure our communities have access to evidence-based treatment, Rogers Behavioral Health offers Rogers Connect Care, a telehealth treatment option for patients living in Illinois, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin who would benefit from specialized partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care. Treatment programs available through Rogers Connect Care vary by location.

The names of levels of care vary across the country. At Rogers, inpatient care is our highest level of treatment, offered to individuals who are in need of emergent care and around-the-clock observation, or stabilization during an acute episode. Inpatient care is provided at our hospital locations, and patients stay until they reach stable condition and are able to continue treatment in lower levels of care.

At Rogers, residential treatment means you voluntarily live on campus during your entire treatment stay and receive intensive care in the same facility. Your length of stay typically lasts 30 to 90 days.

Both intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization care is offered in our outpatient clinics, not in hospital settings. These locations offer comfortable spaces for group therapy, individual sessions, art therapy, experiential therapy and more. At the end of treatment each day, you will return to your normal schedules with family and friends, at work or school. In our partial hospitalization care, patients participate in treatment, on average, 6 hours per day, 5 days per week. And our intensive outpatient care offers treatment, on average, 3 hours per day, 5 days per week.

Your mental health situation may be complex, which is why we will provide our clinical recommendation after the completion of your free screening. Our treatment team will figure out which type of care would be a good fit for you and develop a treatment plan designed to meet your specific concerns.

If someone you know needs high-level, intensive care, but is not willing to seek treatment, know that each county and state has its own process to have a person brought into treatment against their will. To get further information, it may be helpful to contact the health and human services department of the county you live in. Admissions staff at Rogers can discuss this with you if you have further questions. However, if you are concerned about someone's health or safety, do not hesitate to call 9-1-1 or take them to the nearest emergency room.

All visitors must be approved by the patient and treatment team. Family members and friends are generally able to visit patients in residential care and inpatient care. Children under 18 (siblings or children of the patient) are allowed to visit but must be accompanied by an adult. Visitors will obtain a PIN or access code upon arrival.

Tour availability varies by location. At our outpatient clinics, tours are provided by staff members. To respect the privacy and confidentiality of the people who are currently receiving treatment at Rogers, tours of specific residential care facilities are given weekdays during designated times. Generally, residential tours are scheduled after you complete a screening and will be led by one of Rogers' community outreach staff.

We will not acknowledge your presence here or provide any information about your treatment without your consent.

In some levels of care, you and your parents or guardian will be given the opportunity to create an approved call list, identifying individuals you may speak with during your treatment. If anyone other than those on the call list contacts Rogers to speak to you, staff will maintain complete confidentiality.

If you are receiving inpatient care and have established an approved caller list, you will give a PIN or access code to those on the list, and they must provide it when they call. You may change your mind about who is and is not on your approved call list at any time during your hospital stay (with parent or guardian permission for minors).
