Questions people ask about Mental Health Systems Inc

Is Mental Health Systems Inc inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Escondido has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Mental Health Systems Inc offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Escondido, about a mile away.

Does Mental Health Systems Inc take court ordered treatment?

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Escondido send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

Does Mental Health Systems Inc prescribe medication for opioid use?

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Escondido has 8 other centers to compare.

Is Mental Health Systems Inc an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Escondido.

Should I live at the center?

Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

What can I take with me?

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Call (844) 822-5800 if you need to know what a particular program expects on arrival.

Do I have to tell my employer?

Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
