Questions people ask about CHI Health Mercy Psychiatric Associate

Is CHI Health Mercy Psychiatric Associate residential or day treatment?

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 Omaha is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Can you detox at CHI Health Mercy Psychiatric Associate?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Council Bluffs, 1.7 miles away.

Is there anything in Council Bluffs besides paid treatment?

Council Bluffs has 32 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Can I do this by video instead?

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

Can a 16 year old be treated at CHI Health Mercy Psychiatric Associate?

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Council Bluffs is worth confirming before you drive over.

Does court ordered treatment work the same way?

The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

What happens to the medication I already take?

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.

What are the usual program lengths?

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the program length is and what happens if more time is needed.
