Questions people ask about Coos County Family Health Services
Which levels of care does Coos County Family Health Services have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Berlin is set up for.
Can you detox at Coos County Family Health Services?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Berlin offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Which languages does Coos County Family Health Services offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Berlin does.
Which medications does Coos County Family Health Services prescribe?
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 Berlin.
Does Coos County Family Health Services treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Berlin is set up for it.
Can a program handle a court referral?
Whether a particular program satisfies an order is a question for the court rather than for a directory page. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.
Who answers the phone?
Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
How long would I be in a program?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
