Harmony Health Group

Based in the eastern United States, Harmony Health Group operates a network of evidence-based substance use and mental health treatment centers. Their options include 3-day to 2-year programs, based on what each client needs. Harmony can admit clients the same day they reach out. Harmony Health Group opened in 2015 and became part of Thrive Healthcare in 2022.Therapeutic Chats with People and Animals2 popular therapies at Harmony's treatment centers are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and animal-assisted therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a common 1-on-1 technique where therapists work with clients to change thoughts, which helps change feelings for the better. Animal-assisted therapy is a less common but still widely recognized technique. At Harmony, clients can opt to spend time with horses, dogs, cats, or birds, reducing their stress and helping them address their concerns.Medication SupportHarmony Health Group can prescribe clients medications to assist in treating substance use and mental health disorders. For substance use, they can prescribe methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol, and Suboxone. These medications aim to help clients safely withdraw from substances, reduce cravings, and better engage with talk therapy. These medications are particularly useful in dealing with opioid and alcohol addiction.Harmony also has psychiatrists who can prescribe mental health medications, which aim to help clients manage symptoms in combination with talk therapy.Community for Long-Term RecoveryClients at any Harmony Health Group treatment center can connect with other Harmony alumni to encourage each other in long-term recovery. Harmony runs a private Facebook group to share events, success stories, and struggles in a safe online space.Coverage with Private Insurance or Payment AssistanceTo make treatment affordable, Harmony Health Group works with many common private insurance providers, including statewide BlueCross BlueShield plans.
