Questions people ask about Options for Independence

Is Options for Independence residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Raceland, 11 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

Does Options for Independence offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Houma, under a mile away.

Is there a program at Options for Independence for people like me?

Clients with a mental health diagnosis as well are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Is Options for Independence an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Houma.

Can any of this be done remotely?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Houma often still has to be in person.

Is there support after treatment finishes?

Most of recovery happens after the program, which is an awkward fact for anyone selling programs. Free fellowship meetings run in most towns, cost nothing and need no referral, which is why they outlast paid programs. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

What can I take with me?

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask for the written list before you pack, because every center's version differs.
