Questions people ask about Heartland Human Services
Is Heartland Human Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Effingham is set up for.
Can you detox at Heartland Human Services?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Effingham offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there other options nearby?
Nothing else serves Effingham inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.
Does Heartland Human Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Effingham offers it.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Heartland Human Services?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Effingham about a teenager is in the right place.
Is there anything in Effingham besides paid treatment?
Effingham has 5 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
