Questions people ask about Tomah VAMC
Is Tomah VAMC residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Owen is set up for.
Can you detox at Tomah VAMC?
No. There is no detox listed near Owen at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
Is Tomah VAMC an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Owen.
Does Tomah VAMC have beds?
They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Owen offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.
Does Tomah VAMC prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Owen.
Can a mental health condition be treated at the same time?
Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Whether a psychiatrist sits on the team, and how often you would see one, separates programs here. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.
How much will my family be told?
Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
