Questions people ask about NEDHSA - Monroe Behavioral Health Center

Can a 16 year old be treated at NEDHSA - Monroe Behavioral Health Center?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Monroe has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Can NEDHSA - Monroe Behavioral Health Center handle a court referral?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Monroe has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.
Will they take my medication away?
A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.
Is medication part of treatment?
Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.
What should I bring to treatment?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
