Questions people ask about South Central Alabama MHC

Is South Central Alabama MHC inpatient or outpatient?

They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Andalusia is set up for.

Can you detox at South Central Alabama MHC?

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

Is there a program at South Central Alabama MHC for people like me?

They offer a program for adult men, which not every center around Andalusia does.

Is treatment available in a language other than English?

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Andalusia does.

Is there anything in Andalusia besides paid treatment?

Andalusia has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Which medications does South Central Alabama MHC prescribe?

They prescribe 1 medication: buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Andalusia.

How do I tell two programs apart?

Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
