Questions people ask about McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ

What levels of care does McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Chula Vista is set up for.

Does McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Chula Vista, 2.4 miles away.

Does McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ do telehealth?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chula Vista.

Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ?

Yes, they treat people in Spanish. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Chula Vista has 8 other centers to ask the same of.

Is there anything in Chula Vista besides paid treatment?

Chula Vista has 71 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Will a court accept this program?

Most of the programs listed here take mandated clients. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Is the first call an assessment?

Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.

Will my treatment be kept private?

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
