Questions people ask about The Shoulder
What programs does The Shoulder offer?
They are set up for 1 level: inpatient residential. Of the 6 centers within 14 miles of Spanish Fort, 1 offers a bed.
Can you detox at The Shoulder?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Spanish Fort offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What ages does The Shoulder treat?
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 Spanish Fort can mean one group rather than several.
Is there a program at The Shoulder for people like me?
They offer a program for adult men, which not every center around Spanish Fort does.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Spanish Fort are in it too, or only the one to one ones.
How long would I be in a program?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.
How long is the wait?
It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask what can be started while you wait.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Leave anything valuable at home rather than arguing about it at intake.
