All inquiries for RAH are sent to in-patient treatment centers that have extensive knowledge and experience with substance abuse disorders. These treatment centers have participated in a joint RAH consortium marketing campaign and are also licensed by RAH to offer telemedicine treatment to patients that reside in the same state. The function of the treatment center is to ascertain who is a good fit for RAH and who could possibly be served by some components of an in-patient program. They make that determination by conducting a telephonic evaluation and a subsequent recommendation. The fact of the matter is that some people are so deep into their drug use that it would be impossible to treat them remotely. If you are currently using, you may not have the focus to concentrate and actively participate with your therapist by audio video. However, you always have the right to choose what form of treatment that you prefer and in that case, we may want to consider a hybrid model. Many people suffering from addiction are at risk of going into withdrawal if they stop abruptly, thus it is critically important that RAH works hand in hand with in-patient treatment centers and local doctors that offer medically assisted treatment using drugs like Suboxone or Vivatrol.
