Questions people ask about PDSSC/Chicago Inc
Which levels of care does PDSSC/Chicago Inc have?
They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Chicago is set up for.
Does PDSSC/Chicago Inc offer a detox?
They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Chicago.
Is PDSSC/Chicago Inc an option for someone over 65?
They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Chicago.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Chicago, so the next option is a longer drive.
Are there free support meetings in Chicago?
Chicago has 876 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Who are the programs at PDSSC/Chicago Inc built for?
They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Chicago does.
How does medication fit into treatment?
Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can find programs that use the medication you are asking about.
Does my employer find out?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.
