Questions people ask about VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic
Is VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic inpatient or outpatient?
They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Leavenworth has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic?
They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and none of the 2 centers near Leavenworth offer one at all.
Is a diagnosis handled at VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic as well?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Kansas City is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
Does VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic have a program for veterans?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Leavenworth.
Is medication assisted treatment available at VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System - Substance Use Disorder Clinic?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near Leavenworth, not all of them do.
What will I actually pay?
Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
What does insurance actually cover?
Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.
