Questions people ask about RYC
What programs does RYC offer?
They provide outpatient, telemedicine and inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Ketchikan is set up for.
Does RYC offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ketchikan offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at RYC?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Ketchikan.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at RYC?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Ketchikan are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
What special programs does RYC offer?
One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 5 named here.
Does RYC offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Ketchikan.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
Who has access to my records?
Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. If you want someone kept informed, sign the release early rather than during a crisis.
