Questions people ask about Potter House
What kind of care does Potter House provide?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Cincinnati is set up for.
Does Potter House offer a detox?
They detox from cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Cincinnati.
Are there free support meetings in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati has 436 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is Potter House 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 Cincinnati it may be mixed.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Cincinnati, so the next option is a longer drive.
Is there a sliding scale?
The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Get the figure in writing if you can, and ask what happens if you need longer than the program length.
Who answers the phone?
The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.
What is buprenorphine used for?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Coming off the medication early is a common point at which things come apart, so the planned length matters. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
