Questions people ask about Family Guidance Centers Inc - U of I Mile Square Health Center

Is Family Guidance Centers Inc - U of I Mile Square Health Center inpatient or outpatient?

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

Does Family Guidance Centers Inc - U of I Mile Square Health Center offer a detox?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Chicago offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Does Family Guidance Centers Inc - U of I Mile Square Health Center prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Chicago.

Do I have to come in person to Family Guidance Centers Inc - U of I Mile Square Health Center?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chicago.

Is there anything in Chicago besides paid treatment?

Chicago has 83 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Many centers will spread a balance over months, and those terms are negotiable more often than people assume. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.

Do I have to tell my boss?

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
