Questions to ask Southern Addiction Medicine Services
- What does treatment cost without insurance, and do you offer a payment plan or sliding fee?
- Do you provide medical detox on site, and how many days does it usually last?
- 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?
- Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
- What happens after the program ends: aftercare, alumni groups or step-down care?
Also confirm the facility is licensed by Louisiana. If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
