Questions people ask about Eyerly Ball CMHS
What programs does Eyerly Ball CMHS offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Ames is set up for.
Does Eyerly Ball CMHS offer a detox?
No. There is no detox listed near Ames at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Can you stay overnight at Eyerly Ball CMHS?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Ames.
Is there an interpreter at Eyerly Ball CMHS?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Ames are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is there a program at Eyerly Ball CMHS for people like me?
One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 13 named here.
Does Eyerly Ball CMHS treat teenagers?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25 and adults over 65, which in Ames is worth confirming before you drive over.
Will they take my medication away?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
What if this is not the first time?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
