Questions people ask about Sisters of Charity Hospital
What programs does Sisters of Charity Hospital offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Buffalo, 2 offer a bed.
Does Sisters of Charity Hospital offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Buffalo, 2.5 miles away.
Does Sisters of Charity Hospital have beds?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Buffalo, under a mile away.
Which medications does Sisters of Charity Hospital prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Buffalo, not all of them do.
Is there anything in Buffalo besides paid treatment?
Buffalo has 119 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What questions should I ask a center?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
How long will I be away?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
Who finds out that I went to treatment?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
