Questions people ask about Frontier Health

What kind of care does Frontier Health provide?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Norton, 7.0 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

Is detox part of what Frontier Health offers?

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Big Stone Gap. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

Is there anywhere else close by?

There are 4 more within a short drive of Big Stone Gap, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Does Frontier Health treat mental health as well?

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Big Stone Gap has 4 other centers if this one cannot.

What special programs does Frontier Health offer?

They offer a program for court referrals, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Big Stone Gap has 4 other centers to ask.

What separates a good program from a bad one?

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

What does insurance actually cover?

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.

What is not allowed?

Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
