Does Lutheran Counseling and Family Servs offer medication for addiction?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Milwaukee has 8 other centers to compare.
Can you stay overnight at Lutheran Counseling and Family Servs?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Brookfield, 1.9 miles away.
What does stepping down look like?
There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.
Will my plan pay for rehab?
Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
