Questions people ask about Mark Twain Behavioral Health
What levels of care does Mark Twain Behavioral Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Mexico has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Mark Twain Behavioral Health?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Mexico. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Can Mark Twain Behavioral Health handle a court referral?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Mexico has 2 other centers if the dates do not work.
Are there free support meetings in Mexico?
Mexico has 4 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Does Mark Twain Behavioral Health offer medication for addiction?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Mexico offers it.
How many options are within driving distance?
2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.8 miles away in Mexico.
Is the first call an assessment?
Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
