Questions people ask about Saint Joseph Institute
Is Saint Joseph Institute inpatient or outpatient?
They offer inpatient residential, telemedicine, inpatient hospital and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Port Matilda has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Saint Joseph Institute?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Port Matilda.
Is there a pregnancy program at Saint Joseph Institute?
Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 13 named programs here.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Saint Joseph Institute?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 1 center near Port Matilda, not all of them do.
Are remote sessions an option at Saint Joseph Institute?
They do video appointments, which matters if Port Matilda is a drive for you.
What do I say when I call?
Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
How long would I be in a program?
There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. The early part of any program is mostly stabilizing, and the work people picture when they think of treatment starts after that. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.
Is outpatient enough?
The choice is normally made on medical risk and on what home looks like, in that order. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
