Questions people ask about Mingus Mountain Academy
What kind of care does Mingus Mountain Academy provide?
They provide inpatient hospital and inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Prescott Valley is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Mingus Mountain Academy offer a detox?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Prescott Valley, 4.8 miles away.
Does Mingus Mountain Academy take court ordered treatment?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 8 things they offer a named program for.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Mingus Mountain Academy?
They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Dewey.
What other centers are nearby?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Dewey, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is a dual diagnosis treated in one place?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.
Does my employer find out?
A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
What if there is no space?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.
