Questions people ask about Capital Area Counseling Services
What kind of care does Capital Area Counseling Services provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Pierre is set up for.
Is detox part of what Capital Area Counseling Services offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Pierre offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Capital Area Counseling Services treat people who are pregnant?
They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Pierre may not have a second place set up for it.
Does Capital Area Counseling Services offer medication for addiction?
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 Pierre.
Which languages does Capital Area Counseling Services offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Pierre does.
Are there free support meetings in Pierre?
Pierre has 14 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
What is the family's part in this?
Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
How long will I be away?
Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
