Questions people ask about Beacon Mental Health
Is Beacon Mental Health inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Lexington, 9.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Beacon Mental Health?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Richmond offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there a program at Beacon Mental Health for people like me?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Richmond has 1 other center to ask.
Does Beacon Mental Health do telehealth?
They do video appointments, which matters if Richmond is a drive for you.
Which medications does Beacon Mental Health prescribe?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Richmond.
What is aftercare?
There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.
What should I be comparing?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Does my employer find out?
A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
