Questions people ask about Cornell Scott Hill Health Center

Is Cornell Scott Hill Health Center inpatient or outpatient?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of New Haven, 3 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what Cornell Scott Hill Health Center offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Haven, a few streets away.

Which medications does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to New Haven.

Does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center treat older adults?

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in New Haven, because a wide age range often still means one room.

Does Cornell Scott Hill Health Center treat people who are pregnant?

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and New Haven may not have a second place set up for it.

Is what I say in a session confidential?

The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.

Do I have to tell my employer?

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
