Questions people ask about Northwest Health Services

What levels of care does Northwest Health Services offer?

They offer outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Saint Joseph has 6 other centers within 14 miles.

Is Northwest 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 Saint Joseph.

How many options are within driving distance?

There are 6 more within a short drive of Saint Joseph, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

What does the first conversation cover?

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

Who finds out that I went to treatment?

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.

What do I pack for a stay?

Photo id, your insurance card, and a list of every medication you take with the doses. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
