Resources and Research
Making the decision to get help is an important one. Finding the closest substance abuse treatment center / mental health treatment center in your area is only one step in the process. To help you in continuing your search we offer some external resources and tips on our about us page under the section titled resources. We encourage you to take time and research each center thoroughly, asking questions about treatment types, environment, staff qualifications and inpatient/outpatient availability.
Understanding Payment Options
When seeking out the right treatment for mental health conditions or substance abuse disorders, understanding the payment options available to you can be a confusing journey. For insured patients, check your insurance policy details to see if mental health/substance use disorder(SUD) coverage is available. Most individual and small group plans now require MH/SUD coverage due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and when such coverage is provided it is protected by the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). For more information on different payment options and their coverage of mental health and substance use disorder services, MentalHealth.gov has a great article on common payment types and questions.
