Questions people ask about Northwest Center for Behavioral Health

Is Northwest Center for Behavioral Health residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Alva is set up for.

Is detox part of what Northwest Center for Behavioral Health offers?

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Alva does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Does Northwest Center for Behavioral Health offer appointments by video?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Alva often still has to be in person.

Does Northwest Center for Behavioral Health treat depression too?

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Alva may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Does Northwest Center for Behavioral Health take court ordered treatment?

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Alva is something they handle.

What is there in Alva that costs nothing?

Alva has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Does medication replace counseling?

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.

Will I lose my job?

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
