Questions people ask about VA Northern CA HCS

Is VA Northern CA HCS residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chico has 7 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at VA Northern CA HCS?

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Chico. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

Is VA Northern CA HCS an option for someone over 65?

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Chico.

Do I have to come in person to VA Northern CA HCS?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chico.

Is there a program at VA Northern CA HCS for people like me?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 10 named here.

What will I be asked on the phone?

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

What does insurance actually cover?

Addiction treatment sits alongside other medical benefits on most plans, so some coverage is the normal case. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.

Is medication assisted treatment effective?

It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
