Questions people ask about High Country Behavioral Health
Is High Country Behavioral Health residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Kemmerer is set up for.
Can you detox at High Country Behavioral Health?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Kemmerer offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does High Country Behavioral Health do telehealth?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Kemmerer.
Can High Country Behavioral Health treat anxiety alongside addiction?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Kemmerer that is the part that varies.
Is High Country Behavioral Health an option for someone under 18?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Kemmerer.
What does the first conversation cover?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
Do I need to stay overnight?
Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. The higher level is not automatically the better one, and being placed above what you need is its own problem. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.
What is not allowed?
Think documents and medication first, comforts second. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
