Which medications does Samaritan Inns prescribe?
They prescribe naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Washington, not all of them do.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
What do I pack for a stay?
A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
