Questions people ask about Regional Health Systems
What levels of care does Regional Health Systems offer?
They provide outpatient, telemedicine, inpatient residential and detox. The nearest alternative is in Crown Point, 3.1 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Regional Health Systems?
They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Merrillville has 8 other centers.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Regional Health Systems?
They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Merrillville about a teenager is in the right place.
What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?
They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Crown Point is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.
Are there free support meetings in Merrillville?
Alongside this, Merrillville has 27 NA meetings and 11 free AA meetings.
Should family be part of this?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can talk it through with you, whether or not you are the person in treatment.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
Confidentiality here is unusually strong by law, and that is a different thing from nobody noticing. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
What is not allowed?
Think documents and medication first, comforts second. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time.
