Questions people ask about Southeast Louisiana VA HCS

Which levels of care does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS have?

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient hospital, outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of New Orleans, 3 offer a bed.

Can you detox at Southeast Louisiana VA HCS?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Orleans, under a mile away.

Does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS treat people who are pregnant?

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and New Orleans may not have a second place set up for it.

Which languages does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS offer treatment in?

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and New Orleans has 8 other centers to ask.

Are there alternatives to Southeast Louisiana VA HCS?

There are 8 more within a short drive of New Orleans, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

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. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.

Is there a waiting list?

One place can take somebody today and another in the same town is a month out. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
