Questions people ask about Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System

What kind of care does Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System provide?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Newington, 2 offer a bed.

Can you detox at Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System?

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

What is there in Newington that costs nothing?

Newington has 11 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Does Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System 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 Newington.

Does Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Newington offers both.

Is there an age limit at Veterans Affairs - Connecticut Healthcare System?

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for veterans, which is more than most places around Newington name.

Is what I say in a session confidential?

Confidentiality here is unusually strong by law, and that is a different thing from nobody noticing. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.

Can I go back after a relapse?

A previous attempt is information rather than a mark against you. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
