Questions people ask about Cornell Scott Hill Health Center
Is Cornell Scott Hill Health Center inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and West Haven is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Haven, a few streets away.
Can you stay overnight at Cornell Scott Hill Health Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in New Haven.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Cornell Scott Hill Health Center?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in New Haven are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
Can Cornell Scott Hill Health Center handle a court referral?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and New Haven has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.
Is methadone treatment on its own?
It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
