Questions people ask about Southern Iowa Mental Health Center
Is Southern Iowa Mental Health Center inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ottumwa has 5 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Southern Iowa Mental Health Center offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ottumwa offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Southern Iowa Mental Health Center prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Ottumwa has 5 other centers.
Are there free support meetings in Ottumwa?
Ottumwa has 19 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Does Southern Iowa Mental Health Center offer appointments by video?
They do video appointments, which matters if Ottumwa is a drive for you.
Does Southern Iowa Mental Health Center 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 Ottumwa.
Is the first call an assessment?
Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
