Questions people ask about Primary Behavioral Health Services

Is Primary Behavioral Health Services inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Boise has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Primary Behavioral Health Services offers?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Boise is the nearest place that does it, about a mile away.

What special programs does Primary Behavioral Health Services offer?

Adult women are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Does Primary Behavioral Health Services have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Boise.

Can Primary Behavioral Health Services handle a dual diagnosis?

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Boise has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

How do I pick the right place?

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

What do I say when I call?

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.

What if I have no insurance?

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.
