Questions people ask about McCarty Avenue
Is McCarty Avenue inpatient or outpatient?
They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Albany is set up for.
Does McCarty Avenue offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Albany offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Albany does.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Albany often still has to be in person.
Does McCarty Avenue prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Albany.
Is McCarty Avenue an option for a veteran?
Veterans are one of the 8 groups they offer a program for.
What if I cannot pay for treatment?
Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.
