Questions people ask about YWCA Outpatient

What kind of care does YWCA Outpatient provide?

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 5 centers within 14 miles of Fort Dodge, 4 offer a bed.

Does YWCA Outpatient offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Fort Dodge, 1.8 miles away.

Does YWCA Outpatient have beds?

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

Does YWCA Outpatient treat people who are pregnant?

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Fort Dodge may not have a second place set up for it.

Are there free support meetings in Fort Dodge?

Fort Dodge has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Will they take my medication away?

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.

How long will I be away?

It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.

What if there is no space?

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Calling several places on the same day is the normal approach rather than an impatient one. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
