Questions people ask about Metropolitan Human Services District

What levels of care does Metropolitan Human Services District offer?

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 Gretna is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Does Metropolitan Human Services District offer a detox?

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

Can Metropolitan Human Services District treat someone who does not speak English?

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and New Orleans has 8 other centers to ask.

Is there anywhere else close by?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them about a mile away in Gretna.

Which medications does Metropolitan Human Services District prescribe?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near New Orleans, not all of them do.

What does the court need from the program?

Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. Where child welfare is involved, the reporting is usually wider and the timelines are tighter. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.

What can I take with me?

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.

Can I work during treatment?

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
