Questions people ask about County of Humboldt DHHS BH
What kind of care does County of Humboldt DHHS BH provide?
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 Arcata is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at County of Humboldt DHHS BH?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Eureka, about a mile away.
Can County of Humboldt DHHS BH treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Eureka are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They do video appointments, which matters if Eureka is a drive for you.
How many other options are in this area?
Within 14 miles there are 7 other centers, across Arcata.
Do I need to stay overnight?
The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
What is buprenorphine used for?
It is a prescription that steadies the ground while the rest of the treatment happens. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
Is there a waiting list?
One place can take somebody today and another in the same town is a month out. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
