Questions people ask about Region I Mental Health Center
What programs does Region I Mental Health Center offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Tunica is set up for.
Does Region I Mental Health Center offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Tunica offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Tunica often still has to be in person.
Are there other centers near Region I Mental Health Center?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Tunica, so the next option is a longer drive.
What is there in Tunica that costs nothing?
Tunica has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
How do I choose between two centers?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
Is treatment expensive?
Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.
Who answers the phone?
Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
