FINDING HELP
Starting Is the Hardest Step
You may feel nervous walking into or calling someplace for help.
That is normal.
You do not need the right words.
You can simply say:
“I need help.”
“I want to get sober.”
“I need to talk to someone.”
That is enough.

What Happens at 4C
Most people start with a first visit (evaluation).
At this visit, staff will ask about:
what is going on in your life
mental health or stress
drug or alcohol use
medications you take
After the evaluation, you will be scheduled for care.
Sometimes the next appointment can take about two weeks.
That wait time is common across the country, but it helps to know what to expect.
While you wait, many people attend support groups or visit the Cafe.
What to Bring (If You Have It)
Bring these if you can:
photo ID
insurance card
list of medications
If you do not have these things, you can still ask for help.

Safety Comes First
If someone is escaping abuse or danger, the first goal is getting them safe.
You do not have to be sober to ask for help.
You do not have to have your mental health fully under control.
If someone also needs help with addiction or mental health, Beaman staff can help connect them with services such as counseling, treatment programs, or medical care.
The focus is safety first, then helping people take the next steps toward stability.
You Can Use More Than One Kind of Help
Many people use several kinds of support at the same time.
For example:
someone may see a counselor at 4C
attend CR or Celebrate Recovery
visit the Support Cafe
receive care at Compassionate Health Center
These programs work alongside each other.
You do not have to choose just one.
You can use the support that helps you most.
Help Outside Fulton County
If you need something different, there are many programs in nearby cities like South Bend, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and others.
There are many mental health and addiction treatment programs.
Most of these programs accept many insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare.
They all begin with a phone call. They will ask about you, what you want to do, your medical history and any insurance information.
If you need help with this, or want someone to sit with you while you call, the Cafe is happy to help.
