I did a web search for treatment centers specializing in shoplifting. What was returned were treatment centers that specialize in drug and alcohol addiction. Nothing says anyone of these centers wouldn't be able to help you; just that none of them specialize in your addiction.

That being said treatment centers are generally for in-patient treatment of an addiction. I'm not sure, as I am not a doctor, as to whether or not an insurance company would pay for in patient treatment of your problem.

What I recommend is you find a Board Certified Psychiatrist to evaluate your problem. Most likely once the doctor has evaluated you, he or she will recommend talk therapy with a psychologist and continued visits with him or her as well. This is something I believe your insurance company will pay for if covered under your insurance program.

Should your psychiatrist believe you need in-patient treatment then your insurance company may pay for whatever amount of time your doctor requests and a facility will be found to treat you. The treatment you are seeking though all starts with a visit to a Board Certified Psychiatrist.
