This is not a reflection on the treatment provider...

This is not a reflection on the treatment providers here. They are well educated and dedicated to what they do. The problem is the system. This is the only place for anyone on Medicaid in the county to get mental health or substance abuse help. To say that the staff are overwhelmed at times is an understatement. Appointments are often difficult to get and when you have one you may get bumped due to a crisis. As you wait for your appointment you are surrounded by junkies often fiending for a fix. I understand that we all have our own struggles, but at times it makes getting needed help more difficult. As a disabled veteran I am thankful I can drive 40 miles and get help through the VA rather than go there. My don't have that luxury though and private insurance would cost half my income.
The work they do at Weber Human Services is important. But the facility is too small and there aren't enough people.
