Questions people ask about Miami VA Healthcare System
What programs does Miami VA Healthcare System offer?
They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Key Largo has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Miami VA Healthcare System?
They detox from benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Key Largo.
Can you stay overnight at Miami VA Healthcare System?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Key Largo has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Does Miami VA Healthcare System prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Key Largo offers both.
Is Miami VA Healthcare System an option for a veteran?
Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 1 named programs at this address.
Can family be involved in treatment?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
How long does the first call take?
It starts with a short assessment: the substance, the pattern, your health, and where you live. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
How private is this?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
