Questions people ask about Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC

What levels of care does Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Gadsden is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Does Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Gadsden, 4.1 miles away.

Does Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Attalla.

Does Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC do telehealth?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Attalla.

Are there free support meetings in Attalla?

Attalla has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Can Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC handle a court referral?

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Attalla is something they handle.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.

Should family be part of this?

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
