About Carl Albert Mental Health Center
Carl Albert Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) is an outpatient facility that treats a variety of mental health conditions along with substance abuse. It is part of the state-funded Oklahoma Mental Health and Substance Abuse department which provides services to Oklahoma residents.
Dual Diagnosis Support in McAlester
For many people, substance abuse isn’t something that just happens without any contributing factors. I like that this facility prioritizes dual diagnosis care to ensure that they’re not only treating the addiction, but any underlying mental health factors that might have steered you towards substance dependency.
Therapy to Help You Cope
Beyond simply helping you achieve sobriety, Carl Albert CMHC also wants to ensure you have the tools to maintain this new achievement. I like that there are multiple therapy options available. Beyond simply offering individual, group or family sessions, you can choose between CBT, active therapy, behavior modification support, and trauma therapy.
Care Catered to You
Carl Albert CMHC offers both outpatient services and can also refer to you for inpatient treatment depending on the results of your intake evaluation. However, I’m impressed that this facility also offers mobile crisis support. Carl Albert CMHC accepts most major insurances and Medicaid, but a patient advocate can provide more detailed information about managing payments, claims, and financial support.
