Questions people ask about CrescentCare

Is CrescentCare residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New Orleans has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what CrescentCare offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Orleans, 2.0 miles away.

Are there free support meetings in New Orleans?

New Orleans has 13 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

What other centers are nearby?

There are 8 more within a short drive of New Orleans, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is there a program at CrescentCare for people like me?

Veterans are one of the 13 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

How much will my family be told?

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.

How long will I be away?

Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

What is buprenorphine used for?

Three medications sit under that phrase, and which one suits someone is a clinical decision. 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.
