Jefferson Center for Mental Health

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

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

They do video appointments, which matters if Idaho Springs is a drive for you.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Idaho Springs specifically.

Within 14 miles there are 2 other centers, across Black Hawk and Evergreen.

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Idaho Springs that can depend on who is rostered that day.

What comes next is the question to ask on the way in, not on the way out. Nothing booked for the first week back is the most common gap in a discharge plan. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
