Questions people ask about White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab

Which levels of care does White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab have?

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Fort Myers, 3 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab offers?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Fort Myers is the nearest place that does it, 2.6 miles away.

Does White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab 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 Fort Myers.

Does White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab have a program for veterans?

Veterans are one of the 12 groups they offer a program for.

Is there a residential program at White Sands Alcohol and Drug Rehab?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Fort Myers.

What is different about mandated treatment?

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

What if someone has been to treatment before?

A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.

Do I have to tell my employer?

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
