Questions people ask about YSS Ember Recovery

What treatment does YSS Ember Recovery offer?

They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Ames is set up for.

Is detox part of what YSS Ember Recovery offers?

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Ames does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at YSS Ember Recovery?

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Ames are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Are there other centers near YSS Ember Recovery?

There is nothing else within 14 miles of Ames, so the next option is a longer drive.

Who are the programs at YSS Ember Recovery built for?

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 6 named here.

What does treatment at a place like this cost?

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

What is buprenorphine used for?

It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.

Is a second attempt treated differently?

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
