William S Middleton Veterans Hosp - Addictive Disorders Trt Program

They are set up for 4 levels: inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Madison, 1 offers a bed.

They provide detox for 3 substances: opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Madison has 8 other centers.

Madison has 109 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Madison it may be mixed.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for adult women and court referrals, which is more than most places around Madison name.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.
