Questions people ask about Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College
What programs does Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College offer?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in New York is set up for.
What does Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College detox from?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to New York.
Can Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College treat someone who does not speak English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in New York are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
Is there a residential program at Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in New York.
Is Joan and Sanford I Weill Med College an option for someone over 65?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in New York that often means one room rather than two.
Is there anything in New York besides paid treatment?
New York has 341 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
What happens to school?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
