Questions people ask about Child And Family Services
Is Child And Family Services residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Westport, 1.6 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Child And Family Services offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 1.6 miles away in Westport.
Does Child And Family Services have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Norwalk.
Does Child And Family Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Norwalk has 8 other centers.
What is there in Norwalk that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Norwalk has 18 NA meetings and 45 free AA meetings.
Is there a program at Child And Family Services for people like me?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, 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 Norwalk has 8 other centers to ask.
How much will my family be told?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
