BEFORE YOU GO

Call a facility before you visit to make sure they have the services you need.

What to expect when you call.

What should I know before I call?

When you call, facility staff will ask questions about yourself. You can ask questions too. It’s important to make sure the services and facility are a good fit for you.


This is a confidential call. Answering the questions honestly is important, and you won’t be reported to law enforcement for talking about using illegal drugs.


If a facility can’t see you within 48 hours, try another one. A sign of quality care is being able to be seen quickly. Many programs offer walk-in care, or interim care if only a waitlist is available.


Questions you may be asked

1) If you’re calling for yourself or someone else.

2) Which drugs or alcohol have you been using, for how long, and how much.

3) Current health conditions and medications, including pain medications you’re currently taking.

4) What financial resources are you working with (insurance, money from a loved one, etc.?)


Questions you may want to ask the facility

1) When can I get an appointment?

2) How much will treatment cost? Do you accept my insurance?

3) What do I need to bring? What should I not bring?

4) How do I get to the facility? Is there public transportation? Can you pick me up?

5) Consider asking questions that are important for you and your situation:

    • Is the facility smoke-free or is smoking allowed?

    • Are there childcare options available?

    • What types of medications am I allowed to take while in treatment?

    • What kind of family contact is allowed, and when?

Not sure what you need? Learn more about treatment options.

Types of treatment

Treatment helps people disrupt addiction's powerful effects on the brain and behavior, and regain control of their lives. There are many kinds of treatment; your recovery may include one or more of these.


Detoxification (Detox)

Supervised withdrawal from substance use


A process that helps the body rid itself of substances while the symptoms of withdrawal are treated. Detoxification by itself is not treatment; it is a first step that can prepare a person for treatment. 


Interim care

When immediate admission to other care isn’t available


Many facilities have long waitlists, but can still help. Interim care provides daily medication and emergency counseling. This can be a helpful bridge from beginning recovery, to admission, to a regular outpatient, inpatient, or residential setting.


Outpatient

Treatment at a program site while a patient lives on their own


Outpatient treatment is best for people willing to attend regular appointments and counseling sessions. Since there is no overnight care, it’s important to have a stable living environment, reliable transportation, and supportive family or friends.


Care frequency depends on the program, with some requiring daily attendance and others meeting one to three times per week. Outpatient care usually lasts from about two months to one year.


Hospital inpatient

24/7 care connected to a hospital, lasting days or weeks


These are usually connected to a hospital or clinic, and provide detox and rehabilitative care. People with serious mental or medical concerns, as well as substance use disorders, are the most likely to use inpatient treatment.


Teens and adolescents benefit from the structure of inpatient treatment to fully understand their needs and make a treatment plan.


Residential

Live-in care, lasting for one month to one year


A stable setting for long-term phased treatment. Each facility has specific rules and expectations for both residents and their families. Residential care usually lasts from a few months to a year.


They’re best for people without stable living or work situations, and/or who have limited or no family support in treatment. They also help people with very serious disorders who have been unable to get and stay sober or drug free in other treatment.


Transitional housing

A temporary space to stay while transitioning from an intensive treatment setting. Sometimes called a halfway house or sober living facility.


As part of the path to independent living, these facilities support people in recovery with temporary places to live. They may also have support programs around employment and education, or case managers to help residents succeed during and after their stay.


Co-occurring mental health and substance use treatment

Integrated care that addresses substance use and mental illness


Having both a substance use and mental health disorder is called a co-occurring disorder. About half of people who experience one will also experience the other. Addressing both is critical for success in recovery, and integrated treatment programs can help.


Integrated care brings together different areas of expertise to treat the whole person, and ensure that treatment for one factor doesn’t interfere with treatment of others.


Telemedicine (including internet and mobile options)

Care given over the phone or online to support treatment and recovery


Telemedicine can be a tremendous help to people who are unable to regularly get to a treatment facility. While it’s not the first step in treatment, telemedicine can be a key part of a treatment plan, especially for patients living far away from a facility.
