Questions people ask about A New Philosophy
Is A New Philosophy inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Albion is set up for.
Is detox part of what A New Philosophy offers?
No. There is no detox listed near Albion at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Is A New Philosophy an option for a veteran?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Albion.
Does A New Philosophy offer medication for addiction?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Albion.
Is A New Philosophy an option for someone under 18?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Albion.
How much does treatment cost?
The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
