Questions people ask about Whitman Walker Health
What programs does Whitman Walker Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Washington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Whitman Walker Health?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Washington, under a mile away.
Which medications does Whitman Walker Health prescribe?
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 Washington offers both.
Is there a residential program at Whitman Walker Health?
They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Washington offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.
Are there free support meetings in Washington?
Alongside this, Washington has 151 NA meetings and 387 free AA meetings.
Are remote sessions an option at Whitman Walker Health?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Washington differ on it.
What if I cannot pay for treatment?
The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.
Will my treatment be kept private?
Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
