Mountain Center for Recovery and Hope

They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Hagerhill is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Prestonsburg offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Veterans are one of the 11 groups they offer a program for.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Prestonsburg often still has to be in person.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Prestonsburg that often means one room rather than two.

Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
