Questions people ask about Central East Alc and Drug Council

What kind of care does Central East Alc and Drug Council provide?

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

Is detox part of what Central East Alc and Drug Council offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Charleston, 9.7 miles away.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Central East Alc and Drug Council?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Lerna.

Is Central East Alc and Drug Council an option for someone over 65?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Lerna.

Who are the programs at Central East Alc and Drug Council built for?

They offer a program for adult women, 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 Lerna has 8 other centers to ask.

Can a program handle a court referral?

Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.

Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.

What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Ask how often you would see a prescriber, not only whether one exists.
