Questions people ask about Peer Services at
Is Peer Services at inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Evanston is set up for.
Is detox part of what Peer Services at offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Evanston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Peer Services at treat people who are pregnant?
They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Evanston may not have a second place set up for it.
Is Peer Services at an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Evanston is worth confirming before you drive over.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Peer Services at?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Evanston offers it.
What should I be comparing?
Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
