Questions people ask about Samaritan Medical Center
Which levels of care does Samaritan Medical Center have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Watertown is set up for.
Can you detox at Samaritan Medical Center?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Watertown offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there anywhere else close by?
2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 1.5 miles away in Watertown.
Does Samaritan Medical Center have beds?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Watertown, 1.5 miles away.
Can Samaritan Medical Center treat someone who does not speak English?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Watertown has 2 other centers to ask.
Can a mental health condition be treated at the same time?
It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
Can I go back after a relapse?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.
