Questions people ask about Bay Area Substance Education Services
Is Bay Area Substance Education Services inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Charlevoix is set up for.
Does Bay Area Substance Education Services offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Charlevoix offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Bay Area Substance Education Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Charlevoix.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Charlevoix, so the next option is a longer drive.
Do I have to come in person to Bay Area Substance Education Services?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Charlevoix often still has to be in person.
Does support carry on after discharge?
It normally means continuing outpatient sessions, a prescriber if medication is involved, and free meetings. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
What will I be asked on the phone?
Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.
How private is this?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.
