Questions people ask about Serving Children and Adults in Need - (SCAN)

Is Serving Children and Adults in Need - (SCAN) residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Laredo is set up for.

Does Serving Children and Adults in Need - (SCAN) take court ordered treatment?

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Laredo has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

Is there a residential program at Serving Children and Adults in Need - (SCAN)?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Laredo.

Does Serving Children and Adults in Need - (SCAN) prescribe medication for opioid use?

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Laredo has 8 other centers.

What stops it going wrong again afterward?

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

Is a second attempt treated differently?

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.

Do I have to tell my boss?

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
