Questions people ask about A Helping Hand of Wilmington
Which levels of care does A Helping Hand of Wilmington have?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Wilmington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does A Helping Hand of Wilmington offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Wilmington offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does A Helping Hand of Wilmington offer medication for addiction?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Wilmington has 8 other centers to compare.
Does A Helping Hand of Wilmington offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Wilmington.
Who are the programs at A Helping Hand of Wilmington built for?
They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Wilmington has 8 other centers to ask.
Are there other centers close to A Helping Hand of Wilmington?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Wilmington, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
Is treatment confidential?
The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
