Questions people ask about Bessemer Neighborhood - Health Center
Which levels of care does Bessemer Neighborhood - Health Center have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Birmingham is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Bessemer Neighborhood - Health Center?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Bessemer offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Can any of this be done remotely?
They do video appointments, which matters if Bessemer is a drive for you.

How many options are within driving distance?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 3.3 miles away in Bessemer.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Will I lose my job?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
