Questions people ask about Capital Area Human Services
What treatment does Capital Area Human Services offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Baton Rouge, 5 offer a bed.
Can you detox at Capital Area Human Services?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Baton Rouge, a few streets away.
Does Capital Area Human Services have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Baton Rouge.
Is there an interpreter at Capital Area Human Services?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Baton Rouge are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Which medications does Capital Area Human Services prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Baton Rouge offers both.
What questions should I ask a center?
The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
How soon could someone start?
Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
What is not allowed?
Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. Clothing rules exist at many places, usually about what is written on it rather than what it costs. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
