Questions people ask about Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical
Is Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient hospital and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Charleston, 2 offer a bed.
Does Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical offer a detox?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 4 places near Charleston that do it.
Does Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical 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 Charleston.
Is there a pregnancy program at Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical?
Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 6 named programs here.
Does Vandalia Hlth Charleston Area Medical treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Charleston.
Can I choose my own program for a court order?
Being sent rather than choosing to go changes the paperwork more than it changes the treatment. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.
How long is the wait?
A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.
