Questions people ask about Northwestern Medicine - Palos Hospital

What special programs does Northwestern Medicine - Palos Hospital offer?

Which medications does Northwestern Medicine - Palos Hospital prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Palos Heights.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. If you are told you need the most expensive option before anyone has asked you anything, get a second opinion.
What if there is no space?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.
