Questions people ask about Southwest Behavioral and Health Servs
Is Southwest Behavioral and Health Servs residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Payson is set up for.
Can you detox at Southwest Behavioral and Health Servs?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Payson offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What is there in Payson that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Payson has 3 NA meetings and 28 free AA meetings.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Southwest Behavioral and Health Servs?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Payson.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Payson may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Can I do a shorter program?
The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. An employer that funds its own plan follows different rules from a state regulated one, and that changes who hears an appeal. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Photo id, your insurance card, and a list of every medication you take with the doses. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
