Questions people ask about Sanilac County CMHA
What programs does Sanilac County CMHA offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Sandusky has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Does Sanilac County CMHA offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Sandusky offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is Sanilac County CMHA an option for someone over 65?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Sandusky.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Sanilac County CMHA?
They prescribe naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 1 center near Sandusky, not all of them do.
Can Sanilac County CMHA handle a dual diagnosis?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Sandusky that is the part that varies.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Sandusky.
Does my employer find out?
A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
How soon could someone start?
Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
