Questions people ask about Greater Family Health
What treatment does Greater Family Health offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in DeKalb, 4.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Greater Family Health?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 13 miles away in St. Charles.
Is Greater Family Health 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 Sycamore cover.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Sycamore has 5 other centers and not all of them do.
Is there a residential program at Greater Family Health?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Sycamore.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Sycamore often still has to be in person.
Is there family counseling?
There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.
What does Suboxone do?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
