Questions people ask about Cornell Scott Hill Health Center
What levels of care does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center offer?
They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Can you detox at Cornell Scott Hill Health Center?
They provide detox for 3 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and New Haven has 8 other centers.
Does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and New Haven may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
What other centers are nearby?
There are 8 more within a short drive of New Haven, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center treat people in Spanish?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of New Haven.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?
Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
What should I bring to treatment?
Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
