Questions people ask about Metropolitan Human Services District
Is Metropolitan Human Services District inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and New Orleans has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Metropolitan Human Services District offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Orleans, 1.9 miles away.
Is there an interpreter at Metropolitan Human Services District?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around New Orleans does.
Is telehealth available at Metropolitan Human Services District?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near New Orleans differ on it.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Metropolitan Human Services District?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for New Orleans specifically.
Does Metropolitan Human Services District offer medication for addiction?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around New Orleans offers it.
Should family be part of this?
Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
Should I live at the center?
The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
