Questions people ask about Carl Albert
Is Carl Albert inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and McAlester has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Carl Albert?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of McAlester does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Carl Albert?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near McAlester offers both.
What special programs does Carl Albert offer?
People dealing with past trauma are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is Carl Albert an option for someone under 18?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from McAlester about a teenager is in the right place.
Does Carl Albert do telehealth?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 1 center near McAlester differ on it.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.
What if someone has been to treatment before?
A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
