Questions people ask about YWCA Helena
What kind of care does YWCA Helena provide?
They provide outpatient, telemedicine and inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Helena is set up for.
Can you detox at YWCA Helena?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Helena offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does YWCA Helena treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Helena.
Does YWCA Helena offer medication for addiction?
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 Helena.
Can YWCA Helena handle a court referral?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 7 things they offer a named program for.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Helena that is the part that varies.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Is outpatient enough?
Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
