Questions people ask about Northwood Health Systems
What treatment does Northwood Health Systems offer?
They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Steubenville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Northwood Health Systems?
They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Weirton has 8 other centers.
Does Northwood Health Systems have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Weirton has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is telehealth available at Northwood Health Systems?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Weirton differ on it.
Who are the programs at Northwood Health Systems built for?
One of their programs is built for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is the only one named here.
Does Northwood Health Systems 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 Weirton may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Is 30 days enough?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
Can I work during treatment?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
