We see a new force among frontline employees: mental health professionals. The crisis in mental health in the US is being managed by Adriana Perezbrain Magdaleno, who is paving the way for everyone to get access to the care they require. When it comes to getting into a program in the mental health sector, she is the Admissions Queen.
If you have always wondered when and how to start your mental health improvement journey, or want to aid your loved ones in need, it can be difficult to distinguish between excellent and bad counsel. But today, we have the opportunity to ask the best Mental Health Executive some questions on how to assist people in need to deal with their mental health issues.
If you have somebody that you care deeply about, and are concerned with their mental well- being, you must read what Adriana shares the interview below:
Q: Adriana, how can we start supporting a friend who we believe may be having problems without hurting the relationship?
A: Start simple and listen. Get your friend to talk about their sentiments in the beginning and just listen to them.
Q: How can you aid a friend without having to contact insurance providers on my friend’s behalf?
A: Find them a local group or counseling session to start. It’s easier than it seems. You might even get assistance from your neighborhood church or library. I’m referring to a local program’s contact information when I say “assistance.” The caveat is that your friend must eventually decide whether to accept and want the assistance. If your friend is unwilling to help themselves professionally, there isn’t much more you can do.
Q: How do we locate a facility that will assist with a genuine issue that goes beyond “simply listening” when my friend has a problem?
A: You can initially seek assistance from the list of in-network facilities provided by the patient’s insurance carrier before visiting any out-of-network facilities. We’re talking about receiving therapy concurrently at a mansion or residential housing facility with medical professionals that specializes in treating co-disorders on-site. You should start calling the facilities or providers on your list of in-network providers as soon as possible.
Q: What may a potential applicant anticipate from the professional admissions program process?
A: Every program’s admissions procedure requires time. However, the process for virtual programs can take just a few days, but the process for residential programs might take up to two weeks. These processes take time because each program has a unique set of assessments that are all reviewed by licensed physicians. But the majority of these locations also offer financial help; you just need to inquire and complete the accompanying paperwork. It’s available and they provide it.
Q: How long does the typical stay in a program last?
A: The typical length of treatment is one month, and in critical cases, one month would be the absolute minimum. The daily demand and energy involved varies depending on the program. The number of treatment hours per day offered by different facilities varies and is based on the assessments.
Q: What advice do you have for anyone who might have a friend who is now in need of professional assistance?
A: To seek care as soon as possible. Do your own research and choose a location, but the best place to start is, as I previously mentioned, with in-network carriers.
