Questions people ask about Mississippi State Hospital
Is Mississippi State Hospital residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient hospital and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Brandon is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
What does Mississippi State Hospital detox from?
They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Whitfield has 8 other centers.
Does Mississippi State Hospital treat teenagers?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Whitfield has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
What special programs does Mississippi State Hospital offer?
They offer a program for adult women, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Whitfield has 8 other centers to ask.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Whitfield, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
What will I actually pay?
List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.
Does my employer find out?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
