Questions people ask about South Central Mental Health
Is South Central Mental Health residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Andover, 4 offer a bed.
Can you detox at South Central Mental Health?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Wichita, 5.5 miles away.
Does South Central Mental Health have beds?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Wichita, 5.8 miles away.
Is there anything in Andover besides paid treatment?
Andover has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Which languages does South Central Mental Health offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Andover has 8 other centers and not all of them do.
Does South Central Mental Health prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Andover, not all of them do.
What if I have no insurance?
Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
Can I work during treatment?
Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
