Questions people ask about Jefferson Center for Mental Health
What kind of care does Jefferson Center for Mental Health provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Denver is set up for.
Is detox part of what Jefferson Center for Mental Health offers?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Wheat Ridge is the nearest place that does it, 1.9 miles away.
How many options are within driving distance?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Denver, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is telehealth available at Jefferson Center for Mental Health?
They do video appointments, which matters if Denver is a drive for you.
Are there free support meetings in Denver?
Denver has 51 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Does Jefferson Center for Mental Health have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Denver.
What is buprenorphine used for?
It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
Can I work during treatment?
Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
