Questions people ask about TEARS Inc
Which levels of care does TEARS Inc have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Phenix City is set up for.
Does TEARS Inc offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Columbus, 2.3 miles away.
Are there free support meetings in Phenix City?
Phenix City has 5 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Which medications does TEARS Inc prescribe?
They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Phenix City.
Who are the programs at TEARS Inc built for?
They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Phenix City has 5 other centers to ask.
How do I pick the right place?
Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. It is fair to ask a center to check your plan before you decide anything at all.
