Questions people ask about Southside Behavioral Health
Is Southside Behavioral Health inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in South Boston is set up for.
Does Southside Behavioral Health offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of South Boston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there free support meetings in South Boston?
South Boston has 13 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is Southside Behavioral Health an option for a veteran?
Veterans are one of the 9 groups they offer a program for.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in South Boston are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether there is a psychiatrist or a prescriber on the team, and how often you would see them.
What if this is not the first time?
Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
