Questions people ask about Athens Area Commencement Center

What levels of care does Athens Area Commencement Center offer?

They offer outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Athens has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Athens Area Commencement Center offer a detox?

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Athens.

Is there a residential program at Athens Area Commencement Center?

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Athens has the nearest beds, 1.7 miles away.

How many options are within driving distance?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Athens, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is Athens Area Commencement Center an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Athens.

Who are the programs at Athens Area Commencement Center built for?

Adult women are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

Can family be involved in treatment?

Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
