Questions people ask about A Safe Haven
What treatment does A Safe Haven offer?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chicago has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at A Safe Haven?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Evanston, about a mile away.
What is there in Chicago that costs nothing?
Chicago has 477 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Are there other centers close to A Safe Haven?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Chicago, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is there a program at A Safe Haven for people like me?
Veterans are one of the 9 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Can my family come?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
What is buprenorphine used for?
For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can find programs that use the medication you are asking about.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
