Questions to ask UofL Health
- Is my specific plan in network, and do you need prior authorization before admission?
- Do you provide medical detox on site, and how many days does it usually last?
- How long is the typical residential stay, and can family visit?
- How many hours a week is the outpatient or IOP schedule, and are evening groups available?
- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
- Do you treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety at the same time?
Also confirm the facility is licensed by Kentucky (this facility reports accreditation). If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
