Questions people ask about Youth Outreach Services
What treatment does Youth Outreach Services offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chicago has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Youth Outreach Services?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Chicago. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Does Youth Outreach Services take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Chicago is something they handle.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chicago.
Is there a residential program at Youth Outreach Services?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Chicago, 1.9 miles away.
How many other options are in this area?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Chicago, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
What happens when I call?
The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
