Questions people ask about Center for Addictive Problems
Is Center for Addictive Problems inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Chicago is set up for.
Can you detox at Center for Addictive Problems?
They provide detox for 1 substance: opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Chicago has 8 other centers.
Does Center for Addictive Problems have beds?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Chicago has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Which medications does Center for Addictive Problems prescribe?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Chicago, not all of them do.
Who is Center for Addictive Problems for?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Chicago has 8 other centers to try.
Are remote sessions an option at Center for Addictive Problems?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Chicago often still has to be in person.
Does my employer find out?
The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.
Will I lose my job?
Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
