Questions people ask about Northwood Health Systems
Is Northwood Health Systems 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 New Martinsville has 2 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Northwood Health Systems offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of New Martinsville offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Northwood Health Systems prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 2 centers near New Martinsville, not all of them do.
Do I have to come in person to Northwood Health Systems?
They do video appointments, which matters if New Martinsville is a drive for you.
What special programs does Northwood Health Systems offer?
Court referrals are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Both at once is the common case, and treating only one of them is why some first attempts come apart. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.
Should family be part of this?
Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask about the release of information early, because without it the updates stop.
Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?
One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
