Questions people ask about United Indian Health Services
Is United Indian Health Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Eureka is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what United Indian Health Services offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Eureka, 7.0 miles away.
Which medications does United Indian Health Services prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 7 centers near Arcata, not all of them do.
Do I have to come in person to United Indian Health Services?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Arcata often still has to be in person.
How many options are within driving distance?
7 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 7.0 miles away in Eureka.
Is there anything after I finish?
It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.
Can I choose my own program for a court order?
Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. A plan tends to approve a level of care in blocks of days, then review whether to carry on. It is fair to ask a center to check your plan before you decide anything at all.
