Questions people ask about Axis Health System
What treatment does Axis Health System offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Gunnison is set up for.
Is detox part of what Axis Health System offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Gunnison offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is Axis Health System an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Gunnison is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is a diagnosis handled at Axis Health System as well?
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 Gunnison that is the part that varies.
Is there an interpreter at Axis Health System?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Gunnison are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
What is aftercare?
There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.
