Questions people ask about Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System

What programs does Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Akron has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System?

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Akron does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Does Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System have a program for veterans?

Veterans are one of the 12 groups they offer a program for.

Does Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System do co-occurring treatment?

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Akron has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

Do I have to come in person to Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Akron differ on it.

What stops it going wrong again afterward?

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Free meetings, a prescriber and a weekly session are the usual three pieces of a plan that holds. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.

What separates a good program from a bad one?

What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.
