Questions people ask about Volunteers of America Northern Rockies
What kind of care does Volunteers of America Northern Rockies provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Buffalo is set up for.
Is detox part of what Volunteers of America Northern Rockies offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Buffalo offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can you stay overnight at Volunteers of America Northern Rockies?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Buffalo has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is there a pregnancy program at Volunteers of America Northern Rockies?
They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Buffalo.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Volunteers of America Northern Rockies?
They prescribe 1 medication: buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Buffalo.
Are there other options nearby?
It is on its own in this part of WY, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.
What happens to the medication I already take?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.
How long does the first call take?
Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
