CBH can arrange for you to:

* get counseling (outpatient clinic) for Mental Health and Substance Abuse problems.

* attend day treatment programs.

* be hospitalized for mental illness or substance abuse.

* get care in an emergency or crisis situation. A crisis evaluation does not have to be approved.

* get medication you may need for your mental health or substance abuse problem, including methadone or LAAM.

* go to drug and alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation programs or live in a half-way or a recovery house.

* get in touch with other services you may need through the Office of Mental Health.

If you are deaf, blind, or have a physical disability, CBH will be sure that the provider you use has interpreters and handicapped accessible facilities so that you can get the care that you need.
