Eastern Montana CMHC

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Forsyth is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Forsyth offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Forsyth does.

It is on its own in this part of MT, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Forsyth has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.

Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
