Questions people ask about Capital Area Human Services
What programs does Capital Area Human Services offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Sorrento, 9.0 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Capital Area Human Services?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 9.0 miles away in Sorrento.
Does Capital Area Human Services prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near Donaldsonville, not all of them do.
What is there in Donaldsonville that costs nothing?
Donaldsonville has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can any of this be done remotely?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 2 centers near Donaldsonville differ on it.
Does Capital Area Human Services treat teenagers?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Donaldsonville.
Should family be part of this?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.
What happens to school?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
