Questions people ask about MERIT Resource Services
Is MERIT Resource Services residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Sunnyside has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Does MERIT Resource Services offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Sunnyside offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does MERIT Resource Services treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Sunnyside is set up for it.
Are there free support meetings in Sunnyside?
Sunnyside has 20 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Sunnyside.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at MERIT Resource Services?
Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Sunnyside.
How do I choose between two centers?
The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?
Inpatient means the treatment holds the whole day. Outpatient means it has to fit around one. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Ask for an assessment rather than a recommendation, then ask what the assessment found.
