Questions people ask about Chillicothe VA Medical Center
What treatment does Chillicothe VA Medical Center offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Wilmington is set up for.
Can you detox at Chillicothe VA Medical Center?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Wilmington offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there an interpreter at Chillicothe VA Medical Center?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Wilmington are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is Chillicothe VA Medical Center an option for a veteran?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Wilmington.
Which medications does Chillicothe VA Medical Center prescribe?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Wilmington.
Which level of care do I need?
The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. A residential stay is the easier thing to get approved when there is a documented medical reason for it. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
