Questions people ask about Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health

Is Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Indianapolis has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Indianapolis is the nearest place that does it, a few streets away.

Does Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health have a program for veterans?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Indianapolis.

Can you stay overnight at Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Indianapolis.

Can I do this by video instead?

They do video appointments, which matters if Indianapolis is a drive for you.

Do I have to stop my prescriptions?

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Is treatment confidential?

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.

Do I have to tell my boss?

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
