Questions people ask about Shalom House

What treatment does Shalom House offer?

They offer inpatient residential. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Dover has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Shalom House offer a detox?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Dover, about a mile away.

Does Shalom House take court ordered treatment?

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Dover is something they handle.

Does Shalom House offer medication for addiction?

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Dover has 8 other centers to compare.

Who is Shalom House for?

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Dover can mean one group rather than several.

Is there anywhere else close by?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Dover.

Can I bring my phone?

Photo id, your insurance card, and a list of every medication you take with the doses. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.

Do I have to tell my employer?

There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
