Is there anything in Brownsville besides paid treatment?

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Is treatment confidential?
A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
