Questions people ask about Discovery House Inc
Is Discovery House Inc inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Kingston is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Discovery House Inc?
They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Wilkes Barre.
Does Discovery House Inc treat teenagers?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Wilkes Barre specifically.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Wilkes Barre are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
What is there in Wilkes Barre that costs nothing?
Wilkes Barre has 26 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
