Questions people ask about VNS Health Behavioral Health Inc

Is VNS Health Behavioral Health Inc residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Bronx has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what VNS Health Behavioral Health Inc offers?

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Bronx.

Are there free support meetings in Bronx?

Bronx has 113 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at VNS Health Behavioral Health Inc?

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Bronx that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Is telehealth available at VNS Health Behavioral Health Inc?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Bronx.

How much will my family be told?

There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.

What will I be asked on the phone?

It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

What happens to school?

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
