Questions people ask about Community Health Services Inc
Is Community Health Services Inc residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Hartford, 2 offer a bed.
Can you detox at Community Health Services Inc?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Hartford, about a mile away.
Who are the programs at Community Health Services Inc built for?
LGBTQ clients are one of the 10 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Community Health Services Inc?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Hartford offers both.
Is telehealth available at Community Health Services Inc?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Hartford differ on it.
What does stepping down look like?
There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.
How do I pick the right place?
What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
Do I have to tell my employer?
A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
