What kind of care does Amethyst House provide?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Staten Island is set up for.

Can Amethyst House handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Staten Island is something they handle.
Does Amethyst House prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Staten Island will.
Is Amethyst House an option for someone over 65?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Staten Island that often means one room rather than two.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Family sessions, education evenings and a visiting schedule are the usual shape of it. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
Frequently yes, and the level of care decides it more than the employer does. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
