Care offered
From the program's public listing:
- Day treatment (PHP): treatment for much of the day, most days of the week, going home at night. PHP stands for partial hospitalization program.Ask how many hours a day and how many days a week it runs, whether transport or meals are included, how many weeks people usually stay, and what someone is expected to do in the evenings.
- Intensive outpatient (IOP): several hours of treatment a day, a few days a week, while living at home.Ask whether there are evening or early groups, how many weeks it usually runs, whether a person can keep working or going to school while they attend, and what happens if they miss a session.
- Outpatient: regular visits, such as counseling, therapy or medication appointments.Ask how soon a first appointment can happen, how often visits come after that, whether the same clinician is kept each time, and whether they will see someone who is still drinking or using while they get started.
- Medication for addiction (MAT): medicines for opioid or alcohol use disorder, used with counseling.Ask which of buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone they can prescribe, whether a prescriber is on site, whether they will carry on a medication someone already takes, and whether counseling is required to keep the prescription.
- Prescribes medication for opioid use disorder
- Prescribes medication for alcohol use disorder
- Accepts people who take medication for alcohol use disorder
- Virtual care: appointments by video or phone.Ask which states the clinicians hold a license in, whether the first visit has to be in person, what equipment is needed, and what they do when someone cannot get online.
