Spectra Health - Larimore

Bringing behavioral health into routine medical visits, Spectra Health - Larimore connects mental health and addiction treatment with primary care. This community health center provides onsite outpatient behavioral health services for individuals ages 13 and older. Their team addresses depression, anxiety, insomnia, and grief, as well as divorce, separation, and family changes. They also help patients manage stress, practice self-care, and manage chronic health conditions.

Coordinating Behavioral Health and Addiction Medication

Behavioral health staff work alongside primary care providers to develop plans addressing physical and emotional health. For alcohol and opioid use disorders, providers prescribe medications to decrease cravings and minimize withdrawal symptoms. Patients receiving addiction treatment must participate in integrated behavioral health services. They can access addiction services without a referral, and treatment duration varies rather than following a fixed program length.

SpectraPlan Discounts and Interpreter Services

SpectraPlan provides sliding-fee discounts for eligible individuals and families, works alongside insurance, and requires a small fee at each visit. Enrollment staff help patients determine eligibility. Patients must verify income within 30 days of their initial discount and renew enrollment annually. Spectra Health does not turn anyone away because they cannot pay. Staff also arrange in-house and telephone interpreters to help patients understand services and treatment.
