Questions people ask about Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC)

What treatment does Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) offer?

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

What does Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) detox from?

They provide detox for 3 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Philadelphia has 8 other centers.

Is Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) an option for a veteran?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Philadelphia.

Do I have to come in person to Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC)?

They do video appointments, which matters if Philadelphia is a drive for you.

Does Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Philadelphia, not all of them do.

Is Philadelphia VA Medical Center (PVAMC) an option for someone over 65?

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Philadelphia.

What should I be comparing?

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Will my insurance cover this?

Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
