Frequently Asked Questions

What if a patient needs psychiatric help?

Your intake counselor will gather your mental health background and with your permission
discuss your needs with your mental health care provider. All of our programs work with people who have concurrent mental health issues in addition to their diagnosis of addiction. However, we are not a locked psychiatric facility, and if your condition is too severe to be safely accommodated at Hazelden, we will refer you to another treatment provider.

Can I take my prescribed medications while in treatment?

If you are admitted to Hazelden our psychiatrists will review your history and work with you on decisions related to continued medication use. You should discuss your medication use with your intake counselor prior to coming to Hazelden. He or she will advise you as to how much medication to bring with you.
