Questions people ask about Frontier Health - Watauga Mental Health Center

What kind of care does Frontier Health - Watauga Mental Health Center provide?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Johnson City is set up for.

Is detox part of what Frontier Health - Watauga Mental Health Center offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Johnson City, a few streets away.

Can Frontier Health - Watauga Mental Health Center handle a court referral?

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Johnson City is something they handle.

Can any of this be done remotely?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Johnson City often still has to be in person.

Are there alternatives to Frontier Health - Watauga Mental Health Center?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Johnson City, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is there family counseling?

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. If you are calling about someone else, say so at the start and the conversation will fit.

Who finds out that I went to treatment?

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. If you want someone kept informed, sign the release early rather than during a crisis.

Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?

There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
