Questions people ask about Walker Center
Is Walker Center inpatient or outpatient?
They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient hospital, inpatient residential and detox. Of the 2 centers within 14 miles of Gooding, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at Walker Center?
They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Gooding has 2 other centers to compare.
Is Walker Center an option for someone over 65?
They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Gooding.
What special programs does Walker Center offer?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Gooding does.
Which medications does Walker Center prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near Gooding, not all of them do.
Are there alternatives to Walker Center?
2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Gooding.
How private is this?
A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
