Questions people ask about Serenity House RRi

What kind of care does Serenity House RRi provide?

They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Ithaca is set up for.

Does Serenity House RRi offer a detox?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ithaca offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

What is there in Ithaca that costs nothing?

Ithaca has 5 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Does Serenity House RRi prescribe medication for opioid use?

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Ithaca.

Is Serenity House RRi an option for someone over 65?

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Ithaca that often means one room rather than two.

Can I go back after a relapse?

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.

Is there a waiting list?

One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.

Can I work during treatment?

It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
