Questions people ask about Community Guidance Center
Is Community Guidance Center inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Du Bois is set up for.
Is detox part of what Community Guidance Center offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Du Bois offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Community Guidance Center do telehealth?
They do video appointments, which matters if Du Bois is a drive for you.
Does Community Guidance Center prescribe medication for opioid use?
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 Du Bois.
Is there anything in Du Bois besides paid treatment?
Du Bois has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Will my plan pay for rehab?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
What do I need to have with me on day one?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
Will I lose my job?
Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
