Questions people ask about Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Opiate Replacement Treatment Program
What levels of care does Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Opiate Replacement Treatment Program offer?
They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.
Does Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Opiate Replacement Treatment Program offer a detox?
They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to New York.
Does Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Opiate Replacement Treatment Program have a program for veterans?
Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 6 named programs at this address.
Does Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Opiate Replacement Treatment Program do telehealth?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near New York differ on it.
What is there in New York that costs nothing?
New York has 341 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and New York may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Do I need to stay overnight?
Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
Is medication part of treatment?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
