Questions people ask about Institute for Human Resources
Is Institute for Human Resources residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Pontiac is set up for.
Can you detox at Institute for Human Resources?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Pontiac offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there other centers near Institute for Human Resources?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Pontiac, so the next option is a longer drive.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Institute for Human Resources?
They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Pontiac.
Does Institute for Human Resources treat teenagers?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Pontiac is worth confirming before you drive over.
What is different about mandated treatment?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Completion paperwork is routine, and asking for it at the end is normal rather than awkward. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.
What if I have no insurance?
Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
