Questions people ask about Saint Josephs ATRC
What kind of care does Saint Josephs ATRC provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Saranac Lake is set up for.
Is detox part of what Saint Josephs ATRC offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Saranac Lake offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there anything in Saranac Lake besides paid treatment?
Saranac Lake has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Saint Josephs ATRC?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Saranac Lake has 3 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Are there other centers close to Saint Josephs ATRC?
3 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Saranac Lake.
Who answers the phone?
The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
How many weeks is a program?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.
Do I need to stay overnight?
One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. Medical risk pushes toward inpatient care: withdrawal that needs supervision is not an outpatient problem. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
