Questions people ask about Forrest Behavioral Health
What levels of care does Forrest Behavioral Health offer?
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 North Billerica is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Forrest Behavioral Health offer a detox?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Bedford, 1.5 miles away.
How many options are within driving distance?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across North Billerica, Waltham and Belmont.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and North Billerica is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
Are remote sessions an option at Forrest Behavioral Health?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Bedford.
Does Forrest 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 Bedford.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?
Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
