Questions people ask about White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab

What treatment does White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Palm Harbor is set up for.

Can you detox at White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Tarpon Springs, 4.8 miles away.

Is medication assisted treatment available at White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab?

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

Who are the programs at White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab built for?

Veterans are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Is telehealth available at White Sands Treatment Center - WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab?

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Palm Harbor often still has to be in person.

What does insurance actually cover?

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

Who has access to my records?

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. 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.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to delay. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
