Questions people ask about Forge Health
What levels of care does Forge Health offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Philadelphia, 1 offers a bed.
Is detox part of what Forge Health offers?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Philadelphia. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Does Forge Health treat people in Spanish?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Philadelphia are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
Who are the programs at Forge Health built for?
One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 2 named here.
Is telehealth available at Forge Health?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Philadelphia differ on it.
What else is near Forge Health?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Philadelphia, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
What questions should I ask a center?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.
How long does the first call take?
The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.
