Questions people ask about Child and Family Guidance Center
What kind of care does Child and Family Guidance Center provide?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Bridgeport, 2 offer a bed.
Is detox part of what Child and Family Guidance Center offers?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Bridgeport does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Can Child and Family Guidance Center handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Bridgeport send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Does Child and Family Guidance Center do telehealth?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Bridgeport often still has to be in person.
Is there a residential program at Child and Family Guidance Center?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Bridgeport, under a mile away.
Does Child and Family Guidance Center treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Bridgeport has 8 other centers if this one cannot.
What happens when I call?
It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
What are the usual program lengths?
The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.
