Questions people ask about Avalon Counseling Services

Does Avalon Counseling Services offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Lewiston, under a mile away.
Does Avalon Counseling Services take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Lewiston send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
What other centers are nearby?
The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Lewiston, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Lewiston has 8 other centers to ask.
How do I tell two programs apart?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.
