Questions people ask about Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp
What programs does Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp offer?
They treat people at inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Can you detox at Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp?
They provide detox for 2 substances: alcohol and benzodiazepines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Jamaica Plain has 8 other centers.
What special programs does Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp offer?
People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Can Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Jamaica Plain are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is there an age limit at Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Jamaica Plain that can mean one mixed room rather than several.
Which level of care do I need?
The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.
Is medication just swapping one drug for another?
It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.
What can I take with me?
The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
