Questions people ask about Thomas Jefferson University

Which levels of care does Thomas Jefferson University have?

They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Philadelphia is set up for.

Can you detox at Thomas Jefferson University?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Philadelphia offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Is there a pregnancy program at Thomas Jefferson University?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 7 named programs here.

Is there anything in Philadelphia besides paid treatment?

Philadelphia has 198 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

How many other options are in this area?

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

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.

Is what I say in a session confidential?

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.

What do I pack for a stay?

A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
