FAQs

How frequently do I need to have clinical contact and see my psychiatric provider?

A client is required to have monthly clinical counseling with their assigned therapist. Psychiatric provider appts will depend on acuity and need of clients.

What if I don’t have insurance?

We have financial specialists on site to assist; we can help with applying for insurance and offer sliding scales. Don’t let lack of insurance deter you from seeking care.

How many groups am I allowed to attend in a day?

Patients are encouraged to attend as many groups as possible that fit their needs in one day.

What is the policy on prescribing controlled medications?

Prescribing practices are individualized to meet the needs of the patient.

Does the group count as a clinical contact?

If a client is assigned an individual therapist, they are required to see that therapist individually monthly, and group does not count toward their monthly requirement.

Does a client have to have a primary care physician at SSTAR to be a client in Outpatient?

No, a client does not have to be a member of the health center to receive services in outpatient.

Can SSTAR communicate with my other providers?

Yes, with the completion of a written release of information by the client indicating what information can be disclosed.
