Questions people ask about University of Vermont Medical Center

Is University of Vermont Medical Center inpatient or outpatient?

They treat people at inpatient hospital, outpatient and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

Can you detox at University of Vermont Medical Center?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Burlington, under a mile away.

Are there free support meetings in Burlington?

Alongside this, Burlington has 10 NA meetings and 86 free AA meetings.

Is there a program at University of Vermont Medical Center for people like me?

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 2 named here.

Is a diagnosis handled at University of Vermont Medical Center as well?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Burlington that is the part that varies.

How long does the first call take?

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

Is outpatient enough?

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.

What can I take with me?

Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
