Questions people ask about Bolger House

Is Bolger House inpatient or outpatient?

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

Is detox part of what Bolger House offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Poughkeepsie, about a mile away.

What is there in Poughkeepsie that costs nothing?

Poughkeepsie has 16 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Can Bolger House handle a court referral?

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Poughkeepsie send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

Can I do this by video instead?

They do video appointments, which matters if Poughkeepsie is a drive for you.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

Will my plan pay for rehab?

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.

Is medication part of treatment?

It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. Some programs are abstinence based by design and do not use medication at all, which is a real difference between centers. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
