Questions people ask about Spencer House
What levels of care does Spencer House offer?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Newark is set up for.
Does Spencer House offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Newark offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can Spencer House handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Newark is something they handle.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Spencer House?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Newark.
Are there other options nearby?
It is on its own in this part of OH, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
What if I cannot pay for treatment?
The number follows the level of care, and that is not something a listing page can judge for you. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.
How soon could someone start?
A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
