Questions people ask about Swope Health Services
Is Swope Health Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Kansas City is set up for.
Is detox part of what Swope Health Services offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Kansas City offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there a residential program at Swope Health Services?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Kansas City has the nearest beds, 2.5 miles away.
Does Swope Health Services offer appointments by video?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Kansas City differ on it.
Is there an interpreter at Swope Health Services?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Kansas City are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
Is there family counseling?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like.
What if there is no space?
Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
