Questions people ask about ComWell
Is ComWell inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chester has 1 other center within 14 miles.
Can you detox at ComWell?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Chester offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Chester does.
Is there anything in Chester besides paid treatment?
Chester has 1 AA group, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does ComWell prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Chester.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. Missing sessions has consequences beyond the clinical ones, which is a real difference in practice. Keep your own record of every session attended.
Can depression be treated at the same time?
Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
Should family be part of this?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
