Questions people ask about Guidance Center of Westchester Inc
Is Guidance Center of Westchester Inc inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Mount Vernon has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Guidance Center of Westchester Inc offer a detox?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Mount Vernon. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Is Guidance Center of Westchester Inc an option for someone over 65?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Mount Vernon.
What special programs does Guidance Center of Westchester Inc offer?
Veterans are one of the 8 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Can you stay overnight at Guidance Center of Westchester Inc?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in New Rochelle, 1.6 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Guidance Center of Westchester Inc?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Mount Vernon, not all of them do.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
