Questions people ask about Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers
Which levels of care does Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers have?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Saint Louis, 2 offer a bed.
Does Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Saint Louis, about a mile away.
Can Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Saint Louis is something they handle.
Does Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Saint Louis.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Saint Louis, not all of them do.
Does Betty Jean Kerr Peoples Health Centers do co-occurring treatment?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Saint Louis that is the part that varies.
What is the family's part in this?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
How long does treatment take?
It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
