Questions people ask about West Alabama Mental Health Center
Is West Alabama Mental Health Center inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Butler is set up for.
Is detox part of what West Alabama Mental Health Center offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Butler offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at West Alabama Mental Health Center?
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 Butler.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Butler are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Does West Alabama Mental Health Center treat older adults?
They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Butler.
Are there free support meetings in Butler?
Butler has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
