Questions people ask about Edgewater Health - Rapid Access Center
Is Edgewater Health - Rapid Access Center residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient residential. The nearest alternative is in Merrillville, 5.4 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Edgewater Health - Rapid Access Center offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in East Chicago, 6.4 miles away.
How many other options are in this area?
The nearest other center is 3.0 miles away, in Gary, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Does Edgewater Health - Rapid Access Center treat mental health as well?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Merrillville is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
What ages does Edgewater Health - Rapid Access Center treat?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Gary that can mean one mixed room rather than several.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
What is different about mandated treatment?
Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. Missing sessions has consequences beyond the clinical ones, which is a real difference in practice. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.
Can I start this week?
Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask what can be started while you wait.
