Questions people ask about VA Northern CA HCS
Is VA Northern CA HCS inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Redding has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does VA Northern CA HCS offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Redding, 4.6 miles away.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Redding.
Which medications does VA Northern CA HCS prescribe?

Is there anything in Redding besides paid treatment?
Alongside this, Redding has 17 NA meetings and 85 free AA meetings.
Is treatment expensive?
List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.
Can I go back after a relapse?
Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.
