Questions people ask about Fort Thompson Service Unit
What programs does Fort Thompson Service Unit offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Fort Thompson is set up for.
Can you detox at Fort Thompson Service Unit?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Fort Thompson offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there an interpreter at Fort Thompson Service Unit?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Fort Thompson are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Does Fort Thompson Service Unit treat teenagers?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Fort Thompson is worth confirming before you drive over.
Does Fort Thompson Service Unit prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
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 Fort Thompson offers both.
Is there a residential program at Fort Thompson Service Unit?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Fort Thompson has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
What stops it going wrong again afterward?
It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. Outpatient care often continues for months after a residential stay, at a few hours a week. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.
How long does the first call take?
Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
