Questions people ask about Independence House
Is Independence House inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Denver has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Independence House?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Denver offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Which medications does Independence House prescribe?
They prescribe naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Denver, not all of them do.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Denver, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is there anything in Denver besides paid treatment?
Denver has 353 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is there anything for the family?
There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?
One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. An assessment by a clinician is how this is normally decided, and it takes about an hour. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.
What does insurance actually cover?
Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
