Questions people ask about Life Challenge Mental Health Services
What kind of care does Life Challenge Mental Health Services provide?
They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Detroit has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Life Challenge Mental Health Services offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Oak Park, 3.3 miles away.
What is there in Detroit that costs nothing?
Detroit has 70 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Are there alternatives to Life Challenge Mental Health Services?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Detroit, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is Life Challenge Mental Health Services an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Detroit.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
What should I bring to treatment?
Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
