Questions people ask about Leech Lake
What kind of care does Leech Lake provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cass Lake has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Leech Lake offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Cass Lake offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are remote sessions an option at Leech Lake?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Cass Lake.
Does Leech Lake treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Cass Lake.
Does Leech Lake take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Cass Lake is something they handle.
Does Leech Lake prescribe medication for opioid use?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Cass Lake offers it.
How long does treatment take?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
