Questions people ask about Canton Potsdam Hospital
What levels of care does Canton Potsdam Hospital offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Potsdam is set up for.
Does Canton Potsdam Hospital offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Potsdam offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Potsdam often still has to be in person.
What is there in Potsdam that costs nothing?
Potsdam has 8 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Canton Potsdam Hospital treat teenagers?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Potsdam specifically.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
Should I live at the center?
Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
Does medication replace counseling?
The phrase covers three medications, each working differently, each needing a prescriber. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
