People in Houston, Texas, and its surrounding counties are just like other Americans who struggle with mental health or substance use issues. At any point in time, more than half of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness in our lifetimes. Children and adults alike can wonder how to get professional help, but life situations make it difficult to be on-site for treatment.
In its ongoing pursuit to solve unmet needs, Sun Behavioral Houston's multiple telehealth solutions were developed for just these purposes.
Now that there is a greater need for telehealth services, it might be time to consider a no-cost consultation through SUN Behavioral Houston to get a better idea of what you’re struggling with and what services you could benefit from. The best part is that you can now do all of this without leaving the safety of your home. We offer online screenings that can be scheduled Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The benefits of using telehealth services include
- Convenience
- Accessibility to healthcare (especially for people with limited access to transportation)
- Support for those who are managing a condition
- Better coordination of healthcare services
- Comfort and safety of staying at home (keeping in line with social distancing)
- No risk of running into somebody you know (allows for greater privacy)
- Less-intimidating online communication, especially for younger people
- No geographical limits when choosing a doctor or therapist
While anyone can enjoy the benefits of telehealth, there are certain groups of people who should especially take advantage of telehealth services. These groups of people include
- those with limited access to healthcare due to illness, physical disability, geography, or restricted access to transportation.
- those with other pressing responsibilities including school, work, or child care.
- those with restrictions due to mental health.
