Questions people ask about Jefferson Center for Mental Health
What levels of care does Jefferson Center for Mental Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Denver has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Jefferson Center for Mental Health?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Denver offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there other centers close to Jefferson Center for Mental Health?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.8 miles away in Denver.
Does Jefferson Center for Mental Health do co-occurring treatment?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Denver may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Is there a program at Jefferson Center for Mental Health for people like me?
Veterans are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
How much will my family be told?
Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.
How many weeks is a program?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
