Questions people ask about Community Medical Services
What programs does Community Medical Services offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Denver is set up for.
Can you detox at Community Medical Services?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wheat Ridge, 1.8 miles away.
Does Community Medical Services take court ordered treatment?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 13 things they offer a named program for.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Community Medical Services?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Denver.
What is there in Denver that costs nothing?
Denver has 151 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.
What do I say when I call?
It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
Who has access to my records?
Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
