Questions people ask about Saint Elizabeth Physicians
What levels of care does Saint Elizabeth Physicians offer?
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 Newport is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Saint Elizabeth Physicians offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Covington, a few streets away.
Who are the programs at Saint Elizabeth Physicians built for?
They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Covington does.
Which languages does Saint Elizabeth Physicians offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Covington does.
Are there free support meetings in Covington?
Covington has 55 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is the first call an assessment?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.
Who has access to my records?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
Will I lose my job?
Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
