Questions people ask about Merakey Behavioral Health
Is Merakey Behavioral Health residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Coal Township is set up for.
Does Merakey Behavioral Health offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Coal Township offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Merakey Behavioral Health?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Coal Township offers both.
What else is near Merakey Behavioral Health?
There are 2 more within a short drive of Coal Township, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Can you stay overnight at Merakey Behavioral Health?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Coal Township.
Can Merakey Behavioral Health treat someone who does not speak English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Coal Township has 2 other centers and not all of them do.
How do I choose between two centers?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.
Who has access to my records?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
