Questions people ask about Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services
What kind of care does Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services provide?
They provide outpatient. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Fort Thomas is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services offer a detox?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Fort Thomas, 3.1 miles away.
Does Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services prescribe medication for opioid use?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Newport offers it.
Is there a residential program at Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Newport.
Are there free support meetings in Newport?
Newport has 50 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Can Commonwealth Substance Abuse Services handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Newport is something they handle.
What questions should I ask a center?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
