Questions people ask about Nationwide Childrens Hospital
What kind of care does Nationwide Childrens Hospital provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Columbus has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Nationwide Childrens Hospital?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Columbus, about a mile away.
Can Nationwide Childrens Hospital treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Columbus are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is there a residential program at Nationwide Childrens Hospital?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Columbus.
Are remote sessions an option at Nationwide Childrens Hospital?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Columbus.
Is there support after treatment finishes?
A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.
Should family be part of this?
Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
Who answers the phone?
It is a screening conversation: what is being used, how much, your health, and what you are covered for. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.
