Questions people ask about Column Health - Lawrence
What levels of care does Column Health - Lawrence offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lawrence has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Column Health - Lawrence?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Lawrence, under a mile away.
Is there a residential program at Column Health - Lawrence?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Lawrence has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Lawrence are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Does Column Health - Lawrence treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Lawrence is set up for it.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
Can a program handle a court referral?
The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask exactly what gets reported, to whom, and how often.
Does my employer find out?
Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
