Questions people ask about Mountain Minds Matter
What levels of care does Mountain Minds Matter offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Girdwood is set up for.
Can you detox at Mountain Minds Matter?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Girdwood offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Mountain Minds Matter have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Girdwood has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Does Mountain Minds Matter treat teenagers?
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 Girdwood.
Does Mountain Minds Matter have a program for veterans?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Girdwood.
What is different about mandated treatment?
The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
What does the first conversation cover?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
Will my insurance cover this?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.
