Questions people ask about Be the Change Health and Wellness
What kind of care does Be the Change Health and Wellness provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Milwaukee has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Be the Change Health and Wellness offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Milwaukee, 1.9 miles away.
Is there a residential program at Be the Change Health and Wellness?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Milwaukee.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Be the Change Health and Wellness?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Milwaukee offers it.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Be the Change Health and Wellness?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Milwaukee is worth confirming before you drive over.
Can my family come?
Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Look up the free family groups in Milwaukee as well, because they outlast any program.
How long does treatment take?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.
Will I lose my job?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
