Questions people ask about Metropolitan Family Services
Is Metropolitan Family Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Chicago is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Metropolitan Family Services offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 3.0 miles away in Oak Lawn.
Is there anywhere else close by?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Chicago, Blue Island and Evergreen Park.
Can you stay overnight at Metropolitan Family Services?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Alsip.
Is Metropolitan Family Services an option for someone over 65?
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 Alsip.
What will I be asked on the phone?
Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
How soon could someone start?
A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Ask to be told if an earlier place opens, then check back rather than waiting to be called.
