Questions people ask about Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc
What levels of care does Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc offer?
They offer inpatient residential. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chicago has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Chicago, 1.6 miles away.
Is there a program at Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc for people like me?
They offer a program for adult men, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Chicago has 8 other centers to ask.
Does Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc treat people in Spanish?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Chicago that can depend on who is rostered that day.
What is there in Chicago that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Chicago has 83 NA meetings and 876 free AA meetings.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
