Questions people ask about Phoenix House LIC
What kind of care does Phoenix House LIC provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and New York is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Phoenix House LIC offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New York, about a mile away.
What special programs does Phoenix House LIC offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Astoria does.
Is Phoenix House LIC an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Astoria.
Is there anything in Astoria besides paid treatment?
Astoria has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Are remote sessions an option at Phoenix House LIC?
They do video appointments, which matters if Astoria is a drive for you.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. People who arrive under an order do about as well as people who arrive voluntarily, which surprises most people. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.
