Questions people ask about Metropolitan Human Services District
What kind of care does Metropolitan Human Services District provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Arabi is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Metropolitan Human Services District?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Orleans, a few streets away.
What is there in New Orleans that costs nothing?
New Orleans has 61 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Is there a program at Metropolitan Human Services District for people like me?
They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around New Orleans does.
Can I do this by video instead?
They do video appointments, which matters if New Orleans is a drive for you.
Which medications does Metropolitan Human Services District prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in New Orleans.
What will I actually pay?
Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.
What if there is no space?
Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. A list quoted in weeks can shorten without warning, so being reachable matters. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
