Questions people ask about Sojourner House
What programs does Sojourner House offer?
They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Pittsburgh is set up for.
Can you detox at Sojourner House?
No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Pittsburgh. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Sojourner House?
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 Pittsburgh.
Do I have to come in person to Sojourner House?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Pittsburgh often still has to be in person.
Does Sojourner House treat older adults?
They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Pittsburgh.
Are there free support meetings in Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
Is there family counseling?
Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.
