I don't believe that all treatment is created equal. Unfortunately families sometimes don't get to us until they've been dealing with us for years and at that point they're in what I like to call a system, the family system, where there's a lot of enabling, there's a lot of denial, but as the family member ages and escalates in their noncompliance, their lack of insight, their revolving door, it just gets more and more difficult for the family.
Imagine finally getting the mental health care you need without battling your insurance company. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods brings together two experts to break down the new mental health parity laws. Jamison Monroe Jr., CEO of Newport Academy, and Carolyn Reinach Wolf, a mental health law attorney, discuss how these laws are set to change the landscape for individuals suffering from mental illness.
They delve into the history of inadequate and discriminatory insurance coverage and how these new regulations aim to level the playing field. The conversation also covers the importance of early intervention, reducing stigma, and the potential modifications to HIPAA confidentiality laws to include families in the treatment process.
If you've ever felt frustrated by the hurdles in accessing mental health care, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to understanding your rights and what these new laws mean for your journey to recovery.
