Questions people ask about St Joseph Safety and Health Council
What programs does St Joseph Safety and Health Council offer?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Saint Joseph has 6 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at St Joseph Safety and Health Council?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Saint Joseph, about a mile away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at St Joseph Safety and Health Council?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Saint Joseph offers it.
Are there alternatives to St Joseph Safety and Health Council?
There are 6 more within a short drive of Saint Joseph, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Are there free support meetings in Saint Joseph?
Saint Joseph has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is there a residential program at St Joseph Safety and Health Council?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Saint Joseph has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
What will I be asked on the phone?
Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
What if this is not the first time?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
