Questions people ask about VA Panhandle of Nebraska
Is VA Panhandle of Nebraska residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Gering is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at VA Panhandle of Nebraska?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Scottsbluff offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Do I have to come in person to VA Panhandle of Nebraska?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 1 center near Scottsbluff differ on it.
Is there anything in Scottsbluff besides paid treatment?
Scottsbluff has 8 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does VA Panhandle of Nebraska treat depression too?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Scottsbluff has 1 other center if this one cannot.
Which medications does VA Panhandle of Nebraska prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Scottsbluff.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
Can I get in today?
A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Many programs offer an interim option while you wait, usually outpatient sessions or a daily check in. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
