Questions people ask about Beacon House
Which levels of care does Beacon House have?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Fond du Lac is set up for.
Does Beacon House offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Fond du Lac offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there anything in Fond du Lac besides paid treatment?
Fond du Lac has 27 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Does Beacon House have a program for veterans?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Fond du Lac.
Does Beacon House prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Fond du Lac.
Is a dual diagnosis treated in one place?
Both at once is the common case, and treating only one of them is why some first attempts come apart. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
Can someone go back into treatment?
Returning to use after treatment is common enough that programs are built expecting it. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
