Questions people ask about Mentally Ill Kids in Distress

Does Mentally Ill Kids in Distress offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Bullhead City.
Does Mentally Ill Kids in Distress treat teenagers?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Bullhead City specifically.
What is there in Bullhead City that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Bullhead City has 13 NA meetings and 70 free AA meetings.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.
Is there anything for the family?
Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
Can I bring my phone?
Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. Phones are allowed at some centers, restricted at others, and the rule is often different in the first week. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.
