Questions people ask about First Resources Corporation
Is First Resources Corporation residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 1 level: inpatient residential. Of the 5 centers within 14 miles of Ottumwa, 2 offer a bed.
Can you detox at First Resources Corporation?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ottumwa offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at First Resources Corporation?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Ottumwa has 5 other centers.
Is First Resources Corporation an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Ottumwa.
What other centers are nearby?
The nearest other center is 2.8 miles away, in Ottumwa, and there are 5 inside 14 miles.
Will my insurance cover this?
Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
What if someone has been to treatment before?
Returning to use after treatment is common enough that programs are built expecting it. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
Is there a bed available now?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a call can answer it. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask what the fastest route into treatment is this week, and take that answer seriously.
