Questions people ask about Erie County Detox Unit
What treatment does Erie County Detox Unit offer?
They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and detox. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Does Erie County Detox Unit offer a detox?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 5 centers near Sandusky offer one at all.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Erie County Detox Unit?
Spanish is one of 19 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, Any Chinese Language and Arabic, which is a wider range than most of Sandusky.
Is Erie County Detox Unit an option for someone over 65?
They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Sandusky cover.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 5 more within a short drive of Sandusky, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Which medications does Erie County Detox Unit 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 Sandusky offers both.
Does support carry on after discharge?
Aftercare is whatever holds the weeks after a program ends, and it is the part people most often skip. An alumni group, a weekly session and a prescriber are the three pieces most plans are built from. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
How long does treatment take?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.
