Questions people ask about Urgent Care/Uptown

Is Urgent Care/Uptown residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in New Orleans is set up for.

Is detox part of what Urgent Care/Uptown offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Marrero, 2.2 miles away.

Who are the programs at Urgent Care/Uptown built for?

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around New Orleans does.

Is treatment available in a language other than English?

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because New Orleans has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

Is there anything in New Orleans besides paid treatment?

New Orleans has 13 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

What should I be comparing?

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

Can I start this week?

It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.

What happens to school?

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
