Questions people ask about Morton Center
What treatment does Morton Center offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Louisville has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Morton Center?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Louisville, about a mile away.
Can you stay overnight at Morton Center?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Louisville.
Is there anywhere else close by?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Louisville, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is Morton Center an option for a veteran?
They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Louisville it may be mixed.
What should I be comparing?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.
Should family be part of this?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Look up the free family groups in Louisville as well, because they outlast any program.
How does medication fit into treatment?
Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
