Is medication assisted treatment available at BHG Lake Charles Treatment Center?
They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Lake Charles.
How long will I be away?
Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
Will my treatment be kept private?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
