Questions people ask about Weems Community MH Center
Is Weems Community MH Center inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Forest is set up for.
Can you detox at Weems Community MH Center?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Forest. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Can you stay overnight at Weems Community MH Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Forest.
What is there in Forest that costs nothing?
Forest has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Forest, so the next option is a longer drive.
Does Weems Community MH Center prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Forest.
Should family be part of this?
Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.
Will I lose my job?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
