Questions people ask about Lincoln House
What treatment does Lincoln House offer?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Syracuse is set up for.
Can you detox at Lincoln House?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Syracuse offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Who are the programs at Lincoln House built for?
Veterans are one of the 8 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is there anything in Syracuse besides paid treatment?
Syracuse has 172 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Does Lincoln House prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Syracuse offers both.
Does Lincoln House treat older adults?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Syracuse.
How do I tell two programs apart?
The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
How many weeks is a program?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.
