Questions people ask about Louisville VAMC

What levels of care does Louisville VAMC offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Louisville, 3 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what Louisville VAMC offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Louisville, 2.0 miles away.

Which medications does Louisville VAMC prescribe?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Louisville.

Are remote sessions an option at Louisville VAMC?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Louisville often still has to be in person.

Does Louisville VAMC take court ordered treatment?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 13 things they offer a named program for.

What happens after a program ends?

A program ending is a step down rather than a finish, at least where it is designed well. Free fellowship meetings run in most towns, cost nothing and need no referral, which is why they outlast paid programs. Ask what the alumni side of it involves, because it is often the most useful free thing on offer.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Is what I say in a session confidential?

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
