THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM
More people have insurance today than ever before, allowing them to finally have access to the mental health care they deserve. However, the cost of care can still be prohibitive, especially at the higher levels of care. The time required to stabilize clients often leaves them without insurance benefits to adequately cover the step-down process. Additionally, many of the newly insured are unable to take time off from work or childcare to be able to remain in treatment.
In response to these needs, HBH Counseling has developed The Better Alternative program – an outpatient-based treatment program for individuals with mental health disorders and trauma related disorders, substance use and other addictive behavior disorders, and co-occurring disorders.

WHAT IS THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE
The Better Alternative program is a treatment plan truly custom tailored to each client’s needs and schedules. After completing a comprehensive intake assessment, each client is presented with a plan integrating individual, group, couples, and family therapy that takes into consideration their identified mental health, scheduling, and financial needs and constraints. We offer some of our groups as individual sessions as well for clients who are a little shy. Clients can attend between 2 and 6 sessions per week, depending on their insurance plan, with different therapists within the practice. If medication is involved or needed, we coordinate with a client’s current prescriber or help the client find a prescriber who is in network or has affordable fees.
Do you already have an individual therapist outside of HBH Counseling who you like and trust? Since the therapeutic relationship is key to successful treatment, we prefer clients maintain an existing relationship with their clinician outside of HBH Counseling while participating in this program. We are always looking to partner with other clinicians to enhance your treatment success.
