Questions people ask about Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs
What treatment does Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs offer?
They provide outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Sitka is set up for.
Does Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Sitka offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there other centers near Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Sitka, so the next option is a longer drive.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Sitka often still has to be in person.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Sitka about a teenager is in the right place.
Is there a program at Sitka Counseling and Prevention Servs for people like me?
Veterans are one of the 14 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.
What is not allowed?
Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Leave anything valuable at home rather than arguing about it at intake.
