Questions people ask about Midwest Asian Health Association
What treatment does Midwest Asian Health Association offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chicago has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Midwest Asian Health Association?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Chicago offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What is there in Chicago that costs nothing?
Chicago has 876 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is there anywhere else close by?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Chicago, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language and Any Chinese Language as well as English, which not every place around Chicago does.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
What is buprenorphine used for?
For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
Does my employer find out?
A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
