Questions people ask about Akua Behavioral Health Inc

Is Akua Behavioral Health Inc inpatient or outpatient?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Newport Beach is set up for.

Can you detox at Akua Behavioral Health Inc?

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Newport Beach. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

What special programs does Akua Behavioral Health Inc offer?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 11 named here.

Can I do this by video instead?

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

Does Akua Behavioral Health Inc have beds?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Newport Beach has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?

Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.

Is the first call an assessment?

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.

How does medication fit into treatment?

Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. Ask whether the medication can start during detox or only after it ends.
