Questions people ask about Casa Washington Heights
What treatment does Casa Washington Heights offer?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New York has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Casa Washington Heights?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bronx, under a mile away.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Casa Washington Heights?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in New York that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Are there other centers close to Casa Washington Heights?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Bronx.
Is there anything in New York besides paid treatment?
New York has 341 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can Casa Washington Heights treat anxiety alongside addiction?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Bronx is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
How do I choose between two centers?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
What if someone has been to treatment before?
Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Nothing about calling again is unusual. Intake lines hear it daily.
