Questions people ask about Advocate Program

Is Advocate Program residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Miami has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Advocate Program?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Miami, under a mile away.

What else is near Advocate Program?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Miami, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Does Advocate Program treat people in Spanish?

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Miami that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Can Advocate Program handle a court referral?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 2 things they offer a named program for.

Is there anything after I finish?

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.

How do I pick the right place?

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

Do I have to stop my prescriptions?

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
